I am not a furry. I actually find it annoying and slightly offensive to be labeled a furry.
There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between just drawing anthropomorphic animals, and being a furry.

I don't want to go to a furry convention, I don't want to wear any part of a fursuit, I don't wish to be an animal or to grow ears or a tail, I don't feel like I have a spiritual connection with an animal, I don't roleplay my characters, I don't think anthro pinups are sexy, I find yiff/furry porn disgusting, ETC ETC ETC.*

Yes, I have drawn anthropormorphic animals, and probably will continue to do so. So? Think of most cartoons out, on nickelodeon and cartoon network and such. Aren't most of them comprised of talking animals in pants? No one is jumping up THEIR asses about it, people can figure out that they're just drawing them as characters, that they don't have any sort of attachment to them. Well guess what, I do the same thing. I come up with animal characters and draw them for shits and giggles. Yeah, I just draw the damned things. That's it. Calling me a furry would be like calling someone who has seen the movie 'spirited away' a complete anime otaku.


Ahem. That's all, I guess. I'm getting kind of sick of having to explain myself and what I feel like drawing to anyone and everyone who sees it.

*I realize that not all furries participate in all of these things, but the connotations are still there and I don't want to be associated with any of it. If you wanna do these things, fine, go have fun with it, I'm not telling you you shouldn't. But I am not interested.

Agreed. I don't normally use stamps in my journal but I may have to make an exception for this one.

Amen to that C: I draw animals for no other reason than simply enjoying drawing them...I have no desire to be an animal, go to cons, wear a fursuit, or have any part in all that other furry jazz. I'mma gonna use this if I ever get a sub n.n

I'm the exact same as you.
I just ignore people though, for the most part.

Actually though, someone who is "spiritually connected" to an animal or whatever isn't a furry, either. I think they're called Therians but I'm not sure if that's exactly it, I can't remember and I don't wanna look it up. xD
But yeah, I imagine they're much more serious about it, and from examples of Therians I've seen, it seems like they aren't into the fursuit thing but I could be wrong, I only know of 2 people who are Therians.

I have a lot of regrets.
But.
I'm going to keep fucking living my life.
BECAUSE IT'S THE LIFE OF A MOTHERFUCKING ROCKSTAR.

I just fear that people who are anthropomorphic haters will be using this stamp...

But I can understand where you come from.

Yeah, I'm a female dog... What's your excuse?

Arcanine! <3

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY.
It is for those reasons why I try to not draw anthro as much as possible. eue;

99% of people don't actually give two craps about these things. If you're one of them, ignore this and move on.

You pretty much nailed what I would have said.
I AM NOT A FURRY.
Damn straight.
