do i genuanily have to want a sexual relationship w a cartoon animal or j an animal??? like freddy fazbear bro is my childhood bestie but ion wanna fuck him. SOmeone called me a furry today and i dint know if that meant i should become one.
Being a furry is a matter of calling yourself one. That's it. You like the community, you wanna' be part of it, you wanna' call yourself one? You're a furry!
There's NSFW in the fandom (it did begin as an adult fandom after all) but you're not required to engage with the NSFW side to be a furry. Some people like it, some people don't.
being a furry isn't actually sexual (even if the fandom does have that, but that's the case with any fandom tbh)
basically, if you wanna be a furry, you are one. it's by definition just being interested in anthropomorphic animals (like, animal characters on two legs and stuff)
