I’ll try.

I’ll try, although I have no expectations.

Following that absurd logic, a dog fetching its leash or an otter using a rock to crack open a clam are “furries.” It’s ridiculous. Holding an object in their mouth is a natural physical ability of canids; they aren’t using hands, they aren’t walking on two legs, they don’t have human anatomy. It’s a wolf doing something a wolf can do.

Level 1 (Humanoid/Kemonomimi): 95% human, 5% animal. (Not furry).

Level 2 (Anthro/Furry): 50% human, 50% animal. (This is furry).

Level 3 (Feral/Creature): 5% human (mind), 95% animal (body). (Not furry).

That final phrase, “you can argue all you want, but you’re simply wrong,” is the tactic of someone who’s run out of arguments and is just too lazy to learn about something they clearly don’t know. It’s a way of ending the dialogue because you can’t refute my visual examples. If you want to keep arguing about something you haven’t researched, that’s your problem. I’m leaving it here because, honestly, it’s exhausting.

According to the direct message, it’s not secure, and I’m not going to create an account on other secure messaging apps. I already said that.

That’s still a very common fallacy. If you don’t believe me, just search or read my comments. Don’t use misused popular labels; I’m tired of explaining it. And no, the same applies in any language; the fact that you shouldn’t search for or call everything “furry” is another matter.

To dispel further confusion, here’s an example of yokai and kemono: purely human form with small animal features like horns, ears, a tail, and claws. Not furry, which is an animal in body and mind, being completely covered in fur, scales, feathers, or anything but human skin. Beasts are merely normal or mythical animals.

Hahaha, my profile picture isn’t my art. My beastly art is animalistic, not antro. And my other drawings are yokai and kemono, humans with small animalistic features, like horns, ears, and tails. Here’s an example of beastly art.

I checked the first link but it seems to be abandoned… thanks for the support anyway, not everyone appreciates art in all its forms.

In fact, the confusion is common. But furry refers to anthropomorphic animals, bestial refers to purely animalistic beings, kemonomimi refers to humans with features like ears and tails, and demons are similar; none of these fall under the furry category.

Furry: An animal with a human body and mind. Kemonomimi and demon: Humans with slight animalistic features. These include kitsune, werewolves, and even oni.
