This is an updated version of an old stamp. Original Link

…and three years later, I finally edit this stamp and remove the typo. I guess since I updated the stamp, I might as well update the description, too.
It’s been said that you can ask 10 people what a furry is and you’ll get 12 different answers. Furries themselves can’t even agree on what the word means. But from all the things I’ve seen, and all the people I’ve met who call themselves furries, only one thing is really in common. They are all fans of anthropomorphic animals (animals with human qualities).
Now, I don’t mean to say that there are no furries who do the things mentioned in this stamp. I’m quite aware that there are. However, the point is that not every furry does and that they aren’t requirements to be a furry. You shouldn’t assume that just because somebody likes anthropomorphic animals, or calls themselves a furry, that they have any interest in fur-suiting (animal costumes), yiff (cyber sex), or believe they are an ‘animal in a human body.’ However, because of the connotations the word has with all these things, many anthropomorphic animal fans refuse to call themselves a furry.
What’s important, of course, is your own personal idea. If you stead-fastly believe that every furry wants to screw animals, I’m not likely to convince you with this stamp or telling you (the truth) that, in fact, most of them do not. And, if you’re a fan of human-like animals, but refuse the ‘furry’ title because of its connotations, I can’t force you to change your mind either. In my mind, all anthropomorphic animal fans are furries, but that is just me.
I would like to say this to all the “fan of anthro but not a furry” folk out there. The reason that this stereotype persists is because of a few people. Unfortunately, like many groups, the most ‘extreme’ are the loudest. The moderates are, often, quiet. If you know it’s not true that all furries are practitioners of bestiality or drama-queens, then stand up for it. Refusing the title to avoid this connotation just perpetuates the myth. Be a loud moderate, eh? XD
Also, I guess I should mention this. Technically, the term furry (as a noun) can refer to two different things. The first is the definition mentioned in this stamp and description. The second is actually a specific style of anthropomorphic animal characters—that being ones that are highly anthropomorphic (very much like humans, usually with hair, clothes, plantigrade legs…ect.)
Thanks to everybody who has supported this stamp. I’m glad that it has pleased so many people, and even in some cases, actually changed some people’s opinion on the topic. I hope this new, shiny, correctly-spelled version keeps that up.
