Pushes glasses up snout ACKTHUALLY while humans might technically be animals, the furry community revolves around animals that possess unnaturally human characteristics, or to put it another way, animals with anthropomorphic features. Because human characteristics are natural to humans, they aren't really part of the furry community.

That said, most furries will accept you anyway so long as you aren't disrupting the vibe. Hell, some people have 'sonas which aren't based on animals at all, but instead based on planes, trains, etc. There was a meme that went around furry Twitter recently where artists were turning trains into "synth" dragons or similar creatures.

Yeah I’m not worried about offending people who wear fur suits and jack off to cartoons.

I too identify as a homo sapien, you can call me homo
