      Kari, Majira Strawberry actually has one of the first furry videos I ever watched. It explains the fandom so perfectly. Comments are disabled on the video, so I couldn’t gush. But it is fantastic. If I weren’t lame I’d link it here.

    Also, to clear up any confusion, “[fursuit] maker” refers to one who builds/creates suits, while “[fur]suiter” refers to one who wears suits.

    Our 11 year old has just declared herself a furry, and at first, I was a bit worried. I thought it was a way to hide behind a mask and avoid people and reality. She is VERY artistic and creative and coincidentally loves all of her stuffed anilmals (she has literally hundreds!) THANK YOU for offering a different perspective. Good to know there are other moms out there that embrace this. Thank you for educating us newbies. I have always told my children I will love and accept them no matter what (as long as they aren't harming themselves or others) and I would much rather see my child experiment with this than so many other things. So, THANK YOU. 😌

    Perhaps consider interviewing a few different people from the fandom example (popufur. Regular fur. Fursuit maker. And maybe someone who has an interest in anthro based characters I.E. someone who you see where's like a head band that you can buy at a store thats looks feline?) Also the term you were looking for for the person on all fours is a quadroped. 😊

I guess I have only been in the fandom for about a year and a half ish, I love making yarn tails and ears and everything and I like wearing them in public, I will probably not get a fursuit til I am about 17-19 :,) I will so show this to my mom, because you amazing parents are great at explaining and how is should be explained, Thanks!!!

  • @MollyClerambault
    @MollyClerambault 6 років тому

    Hey! Just some extra definition for furries and the furry fandom! A fandom is a sub set of avid fans of a particular kind of media. While not typically used for more common interests like sports or music groups, it applies across the board to communities of fans based around TV Shows, super heroes, books, and film series! (Ex: Harry Potter, Spider Man, Star Trek, etc.)
    Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animals-animal characters with human characteristics. This can be from anything more animal like Lion King or the Warriors books by Erin Hunter (a style called feral I’ll describe later) or movies like Zootopia, Disney’s Robin Hood, and characters like Sonic!
    Usually, the term “anthro” is applied to these latter styles because the characters resemble human culture, walk on their hind legs, wear clothes, etc. However, it would be more accurate to call the style bipedal. This doesn’t just apply to suits so much as it applies to art and stories.
    Feral styles of furries emphasize the natural anatomy of an animal, favoring their more natural gait, pose, and proportions. (Again, like the Lion King) This is still technically anthropomorphized because the characters have human expression of emotions, speak, and understand some semblance of human social or familial structure.
    I think that’s quite a lot already but I hope it helps to put things together! Furries are SO MUCH outside of the fursuiting community! There are fantasy furries, sci fi furries, comic books furries! What sets the fandom apart is how diverse the media set is. Star Trek is stuck with Star Trek-but a furry can be anything!

  • @ClownHoundII
    @ClownHoundII 5 років тому +1

    The suit that is only all fours is a quadsuit, two legs would be a digigrade (the legs look like the animal is standing on their hind legs a.k.a. bigger thighs & hips) or plantigrade. Plantigrade is about the same size and with as pants, there is not stuffing like digigrade, just your legs.

    another sub-set of furries r called fishies!!!! as the name suggests, its basically just marine furries. As an example, my fursona is a black ribbon eel, so he would be considered a fishy. Of course, you are able to call yourself a furry if you prefer that label.

      Thanks! We’ve seen some marine life but didn’t realize the sun-set classification. We like Fishies, so that’s pretty cool!
