Furry. Furryfurryfurry.

I met a Furry, he asked me
If I liked Bestiality
I told him, no, I wasn't Beastly
He asked a dozen times at leastly
Until at last I petted him
And took him to a barnyard sim
Where we proceeded, with great glee..
(Wait! Stop! This forum is PG).

you're not a furry in the original definition terms.

Furrs, are canine based characters (ontop of human base)

just like, Neko's are feline based characters.

What you are, is a human based mamal that don't fit either category.

Just talking definition here.. and the origin of the term furry.

Umm, that is your definiton of furry.

Ask many others and you'll get told different ones.

Furry does not and never did mean just canine based personas.

Furry is furry, but defining it is impossible.

Zomg! You are teh furry!

...and that image with the catgirl -> cat has been doctored (kinda gross-hilarious though in meaning) - the last caption is a rather scary anime reference, but I won't get into it.

Probably encyclopedia dramatica would help.

Don't ask us. Goto FurNation sim and wait 10 mintues. If they start telling you have bad pinkies are then you are a furry.

Furnation is the more mature sims of the SL furry comunity compared to luskwood, he might get inivted to more than a cuddle by some of the residents.

I know FurNation. One of my Alts is a Furry (fox). I just couldn't make sense of the sentence, the way it was written.

I don't do labels much in SL, but if I were to assign a label of sorts, I probably would have categorized you as a furry.

Lol, probably not. I haven't used her in about a year. I only bring her out now and then, but she isn't "active" anymore, if you catch my drift ;)

Describes most of my freind's list... only thing I do is chat and cuddles with them :-P

Still I have a hard earned reputation... it was hard work let me tell ya... of being an irredemable skirt chasing miscreant.

By the definition that most people use for "Furry", I would have to say yes, you're Furry. Your Llama character is an anthrporphic animal - a Llama with a Human body, that walks on two legs and wears clothes like a Human. It's also very nicely done avatar, if I may say so.

But the choice of identifying as "Furry" or not is entirely up to you. I know several people who are fair-skinned, and who refuse to check the "Caucasian" box on forms identifying race. Instead they check "Other", and write in "Celtic". They don't self-identify as "Caucasian", even though most of the world would look at their ancestry and place them in that category.

"Furry" has about as many definitions as it has people who consider themselves to identify in some way with what "Furry" means to them. Like "Pagan", it's a personal choice as to what aspects you identify with and practice, and there is no "One true way of the Fur" that all must follow. So you could shrug and accept that most people will think of you as Furry, and yet not accept any of the aspects attributed to Furry that don't appeal to you.

Or just smile, and say "No, I'm a Llama", and walk off.
