Furries

What yamina-chan said. The perverse side exists in every fandom. However... I will admit there's a certain lack of tact with some furries. And MLP fans too, as it happens.
Personally I think the term is waved around a bit too much. I'm sure a large amount of kids watched animal cartoons as kids, and drew them, if they were potential artists. So are they furries? Nah, that seems silly. Liking or drawing animals or animal characters doesn't necessarily make you a furry. It's complicated though, because those into the dressing up as their own critters, I would use the term for.
I wouldn't really use the term for myself, in part because I consider my human characters often more interesting and complex than my "alien" ones. Then again though, I am all behind that affinity shtick, so... buh.
Oh humanity and your labels.
