good point, pariahpoet. good point.
but yeah, i have a fursona. it doesn't really require much dedication or work. i mean, i jus draw pictures of how i wanna look or how i think i would look as an animal or anthropomorphic animal (usually very similar). pretty simple, really. plus, you can look at pics of my fursona on my da page. jus click the link below.

I'm friends with plent of furries. Like I said though... I just can't really get into the culture its developed into. Not my thing.
I have to admit, some furries have extremely bizzare imaginations. Sometimes even creepy. I typically don't say anything about it.

I went from were, to furry, to were, to furry, to having no damn time...
S'the only reason I can't get on this place more often, school really does eat up all mah time.
Aside from that, I don't see a vast gap between the genres that are "Furry" and "Were". They're... Essentially the same thing?
However, I might just be a tad naive.

No, they aren't the same. There is overlap among the therian and furry communities(such as myself), but they are entirely seperate groups.
For me, the furry is a way to express my wereside.
To be a were/therian, you must have a wereside. Not just human attributes associated with a particular animal(I'm a sly fox), but instincts, thought patterns that are not human in nature.
Furry is just a way of expressing yourself(your human personality, or if you have one, your wereside), a way to play as something other than yourself, or as an art form. At the end of the day a furry can decide to stop being a character. A were is what he or she is no matter what.
In short, IMHO, were is what you are, furry is how you express yourself.

see...thats wierd..because ive talked to a lot of furies and a lot of therians and they get irate over the fact that others say that being a therian and being a furrie are two different things...they will swear all over that its the same thing....i dont think it is because....they will do there fur suiting they compleatly deny having any therian traits in them...i gues i just dont get others...
i mean im a therian.....but i dont fur sut....though i do consider myself somewhat of a furry also......but im primarily a therian...

I'm not a therian either, so where does this put me? Indeed I have a shapeshifting character that I use the name and avitar of, but it isn't me. It's just the main character of my short film. (In progress.) I don't say I have a "wereside". Its not like me to pretend that I'm something else. Costumes... sure, thats all in good fun. But an entirely different persona... no.PariahPoet wrote:No, they aren't the same. There is overlap among the therian and furry communities(such as myself), but they are entirely seperate groups.

Then that makes you a person with a were character. Like Fig.Kaebora wrote:I'm not a therian either, so where does this put me?

You don't have to fit neatly into any category, you just are what you are.

I'm not a furry and I don't really like it or anything. Although I can see why people do enjoy it; its silly, yiffy, and different... But its just not my cup of thee personally.
