= Furry: the most misunderstood fandom =

So - furries. You may either think of them as those weird people who dress up as animals, but there's more to it than that. Furries are people with an interest in anthropomorphic animals, for example, Nick Wilde from Zootopia. The part you may recognize are fursuits and fursonas. Fursonas are the characters that people dress up as, and fursuits are what the costumes are called. There is definitely a sexual side of the fandom, and if you visit any furry social media site, such as Furaffinity.net or Weasyl.com, you will find pornography, sexually explicit content, and fetishes. There is an option on most of them to hide NSFW (not safe for work, which implies 18+ material and/or content) posts, so it's still safe for underage people to use. Sometimes, these filters don't work because people don't fill out the category that asks if the content is NSFW or SFW (safe for work). Some people don't know what others consider inappropriate, like some fetishes like baby furs, which isn't always a fetish; it's a baby fursona, commonly shown with a diaper. The fandom is very nice and kind, always accepting towards the LGBTQIA+ community (90% of the furry fandom are gay), all races, cultures, fetishes.......... WHICH BRINGS US INTO OUR NEXT SECTION!!

MATURE RATED SECTION

Many people believe that furries have sex in their fursuits. That mostly isn't true, but sometimes at furry conventions, "that" happens. Many furries are also interested in fetishes, which isn't exactly a good thing, but - no shaming.

So, overall, is the furry fandom good or bad? Are there more pros or cons? Well, it's more of a tie. There are good parts and bad parts. I consider it a great fandom. It could be better, but it's by far my favorite community.
