Wow...just read through the entire thread O.O
I don't consider myself a furry, really. I do join in with the furry community sometimes though, because I have friends in it and I like doing/trying what my friends do.
However, I have come across some really odd furries who I don't want to have any more connection with (They commissioned me over 10 times to draw my boyfriends character in the nude, with his character, also in the nude)
I've also seen some pretty disturbing TLK anthro art, far too graphic!!
Having said that I have drawn some weird things

Buuut, as far as furries go, 99% of them are just normal people, but like anything, you always get that 1% who seem to start the steriotype that they're all lunatics XD
Like with my love of TLK and horse riding. I've been called a baby and "posh" for that and people have even said "Horse riding is easy, anyone can do it!" AND I've been yelled at for riding along the roads, when infact, I was there first.
I suppose, you could say furries date back to when the Native Americans where still going strong. They had their totums and wore wolf skins etc ^^
Eh, anyways

enough with that...I try to give everyone a chance. There's always going to be people I like, and people I don't like, especially with a community with such a wide range of personalities as furries.
