at what point does something become furry? using rito as an example
is it the feathers, the beak, the talons on the toes
Furry defines a fetish isn't it?
They also absolutely have human form, not chicken legs or anything like that
Including hair.
Some of the Ninas from breath of fire are directly related to birds, are they furries?
The intent is what matters
More a subculture based on a common interest than just a fetish
There's lots of furry shit that isn't sexual, even if there is a TON of sexual furry shit
Unless the question is what are furries into
are humans furries because we're anthropomorphized monkeys?
That is why I say intent
Humans are already an animal
But you can't know the creator's intent
Two people could create the exact same thing and one could say 'it's furry' and the other not
yes
like mascots
Let's take it from a different angle, one of evolutionary development.
so what happens when the author never tells you? Is everything in a constant state of quantum furry because it's rarely explicitly stated?
How is it being used rather
schrodingers furry
Let's say you had the ability to change your own traits as you need to. Let's say you were wanting to physiologically change your body to be able to travel in, and live off of, the ocean.
They're clearly based on real life birds(primarily eagles)
not really
They're not really based on eagles.
idk how this is an argument, it takes 1 look at them to know theyre furry
Look at their adult beaks
not exactly an edge case
it's hard to actually link them to a real life bird, or at least a single one
Well first of all you guys are talking about a fictional animal
No tomiel tooth so it's not a falcon
Looks like an eagle's beak to me
that's just the beak though
Right, but that's why I said based on and not actually are eagles
They're not real animals, so I couldn't tell you their biology
Only what they are based off of in real life
genuinely curious-- when does something become furry in your eyes?
~~When it puts on the fur suit.~~
like, are the Rito from Wind Waker still furries?
Ooh, valid point, the Rito in Windwaker had a less 'furry' design than Breath of the Wild...
because they have beaks... (for noses what)
