If you geek out over movie characters or famous bands, or if you’ve ever done something as simple as invite your friends over to watch The Bachelor , you have more in common with furries than you think. “Furries are fans, just like anyone else,” says Courtney Plante, PhD, professor of psychology at Bishop's University and co-founder and lead data analyst for FurScience . They’re fans of “films, stories, and artwork that feature animals [that] walk, talk, and do human things.”
If this sounds simple, it’s because it is.
Participating in the furry community is really no different from supporting your favorite sports team by painting your face and wearing its jersey, engaging in cosplay, or wearing a Slytherin scarf because you love the Harry Potter films, says Plante, who’s studied more than 30,000 furries over the past decade.
Still, the furry fandom is constantly poked fun at in movies, TV shows, the works. Since there are a lot of misconceptions out there about furries, allow an expert and an actual furry to debunk them once and for all with nine must-know facts.
“Whenever we see someone acting in an unusual way, we have an innate need to try and understand why they’re doing that,” explains Plante.
This is where the stigma surrounding the furry fandom comes in. People often can’t figure out why someone would invent an animal persona, or as it’s called in the fandom, a “fursona” (think: a fox for whom you’ve developed a personality, name, voice, and mannerisms), or dress up as their favorite animal cartoon character, Plante says, so they invent explanations. The usual conclusion is “either this person has some serious mental health problems, or this person is doing it for some kind of sexual gratification,” he says.
Neither of these are true. While stereotypical images of furries in media depict them as socially awkward people, research suggests furries are simply expressing passion for a hobby and interacting with others who share that interest. For others, their reason for joining the fandom is to fulfill a sense of belonging. Most engage in the fandom by anthropomorphizing their favorite characters or imagining adventures for their fursonas through drawings and art. Some just watch their favorite cartoons regularly, and for others, their identity as a furry comes down to online messaging other fans about, say, Rocket, a cartoon raccoon from the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
In fact, when Plante's studies allowed him to analyze furries based on various wellness measures, he found furries are just as satisfied with their lives as non-furries, they have healthy relationships, and they're no more likely to be on psychiatric medication or diagnosed with anxiety or mood disorders.
Think furries get turned on by wearing fursuits? Again, not the case.
Truth is, only 15 to 25 percent of furries actually own a fursuit, and among them even fewer find it kinky . (As you can probably imagine, it’s very warm in there.) The goal for most is to escape reality for a bit.
But while there’s nothing inherently sexual about the fandom, Plante likens erotic furry content that is out there to the way Star Trek fans have sexualized Captain Kirk and Dr. Spock or car enthusiasts hang up posters of women sitting on the hoods of their favorite models. And when it comes to furries having sex with each other, he points out that most people date and have sex with people with whom they share a common interest. Furries are no different.
For Jordan Dreyer, her interest began while on active duty in the Navy. When she learned how expensive fursuits were, she tried her hand at making one for herself by watching online tutorials. It wasn’t until “after I finished my fursuit [that] I found the amazing online social communities, the art, the conventions, and the awesome people."
Since, Dreyer’s met up with other members of the fandom at small gatherings to bowl or grab food and at weekend-long conventions including Midwest FurFest where she becomes either Aurora Bloom , a charming husky, or Cynder , a lioness and Aurora’s ferocious alter ego. She’s joined by more than 11,000 furries (83.2 percent of whom are white and 66.6 percent who identify as cis-gendered males under 25 years old, per FurScience) who’ll attend screenings and dance competitions, and shop accessories and art at the vendor’s hall, and attend informational sessions about costumes, drawing, and writing.
Conventions are places for furries (along with the non-furry friends and family the fandom’s dubbed “normies”) to connect with fellow fans, explains Dreyer. It's an exciting time because, for some, it's the first or only face time they get with each other. Interaction across the fandom happens mostly online: in chatrooms, discussion forums, and social media platforms including YouTube—a hub for furry TikTok compilations , channels for the parents of furries , and giving back. In January, a furry-run stream raised more than $17,000 for Australian bushfire relief , she shares.
If the fandom is something you were interested in being a part of, the internet provides an easy and low-stakes way to join. Furries find their tribes within the fandom by gaming with or messaging fans who are into the same characters they are, or they find ones who share a similar passion for fan art or films. From there, numbers are exchanged, the regular meet-ups start happening, and most make plans to attend conventions. Whether platonic or romantic, relationships within the fandom are why people love it.
Fursonas are not ways for furries to identify as animals, nor do most furries think they're spiritually connected to the animal world. Plante's studies show that while one in three furries don't feel like they're completely human, the majority of the fandom does.
They’ve been seated next to you at dinner, you’ve gone to school with them, and you’ve worked alongside them, too, says Plante.
While numerous television shows, films, and certain corners of social media portray furries as fetishists with an unnatural interest in playing dress up, after hearing them out about the fandom, you’ll most likely find the myths about them are misguided. Is there kink in the community? Absolutely. But, sexual preferences are up to the individual, not the fandom. This is a misconception Dreyer especially wishes people outside the subculture would abandon.
Outside judgment is seeping into the fandom itself. In fact, the shame that often comes with being a furry stems from fear of how they'll be received. "Approximately 60 percent of furries agreed that they felt prejudice against furries from society, while approximately 40 percent of furries felt that being a furry was not socially accepted," according to recent research .
But don't get it twisted, they're not "asking" for it in any way. "Furries were more likely to be bullied throughout their entire lives," says Plante. Sixty-two percent of furries report being bullied from age 11 to 18, while 48.3 percent say they were bullied between the ages of 4 and 10. In no way have furries brought bullying onto themselves because they've joined the fandom, it's just the excuse bullies are giving.
The furry fandom is a community where the people in it can feel like they belong when they're feeling misunderstood. Think about it this way, Plante says: "What your family, church group, or work friends are for you, fandoms are for fans."

Why did one teenager face 90 years in jail for viewing porn?
Jan. 12, 2007— -- Sixteen-year-old Matthew Bandy was about as normal a teenager as you could find. He actually liked hanging out with his family.
"He was a happy-go-lucky kid," said his mother, Jeannie Bandy. "Very personable, and big-hearted. I sound like a boastful mom, but I guess the biggest thing is that he could always make me laugh."
"We went on vacations and had a lot of fun together," Matthew said. "I just enjoyed the life I was living. But after I was accused, everything changed."
What was Matthew Bandy accused of? Jeannie and Greg Bandy were shocked to discover that their son was charged with possession of child pornography.
One December morning two years ago, Matthew's life took a dramatic turn. In an exclusive interview with "20/20," the Bandy family reveals how the world as they knew it came crumbling down, and how Matthew's life has since changed.
It has been two years since police officers stood at the doorstep of the Bandy home with a search warrant bearing a devastating charge -- possession of child pornography.
"It was 6 a.m. It was still dark…there was this pounding at the door," Jeannie Bandy said. "I was petrified."
Police officers stormed into the house with guns pointed. "The first thing I thought was, someone's trying to break in our house," Matthew said. "And then there [were] police officers with guns pointed at me, telling me to get downstairs."
Greg Bandy was handed the search warrant and informed that the central suspect was Matthew. According to the warrant, nine images of young girls in suggestive poses were found on the Bandy family computer. Yahoo monitors chat rooms for suspicious content and reported that child porn was uploaded from the computer at the Bandys' home address.
"When they asked me have you ever looked up or uploaded or downloaded erotic images of minors, I was just taken aback and…I said, 'No,'" says Matthew.
Nevertheless, Matthew did have an embarrassing confession. He had been sneaking peaks at adult erotic photos on the family computer. "I got the Web site from a bunch of friends at school. [It was] just adult pornography…Playboy-like images."
Difficult to admit, but not illegal -- or so it seemed. Still, it didn't look good for Matt, as police confiscated the computer and left the house that December day. A family was shattered.
"I still remember when they were cleaning up and leaving and of course I was still in my pajamas and my bathrobe and my fuzzy slippers," Jeannie Bandy said. "I said, 'What do we do now? Should I contact a lawyer?' [The police officer] said, 'Well, they are felonies that the state takes very serious.'"
The Bandys would soon find out just how serious the charges against Matthew were. The family hired Ed Novak, a well-respected attorney from a large law firm in downtown Phoenix.
"20/20" correspondent Jim Avila asked Novak what the family was up against.
"We faced 10 years per count, there were nine counts," said Novak. "If Matt was convicted, those sentences would have to be served consecutively. In other words, he would have been sentenced to 90 years in prison. He would have served time until he died."
Greg and Jeannie Bandy knew their son well. They were shocked at the serious charges against him and frightened by the prospect of such a serious sentence.
"He's never done any drugs," Greg said. "He never drank a drop of alcohol. He's never been a problem, never stayed out late and gotten into trouble or anything like that."
Arizona child pornography laws are among the harshest in the country. As soon as Matthew was charged, he was put on virtual house arrest, and an electronic bracelet was attached to his ankle to monitor his movements 24 hours a day.
"It was just terrifying. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know why it was happening," Matthew recalled.
Matthew was in an awful predicament, and he tried to keep his house arrest a secret. He wore longer pants to hide the ankle bracelet, but he was scared he would be discovered.
"Yes, I was very scared," he said. "If they found out that I was wearing an ankle bracelet all of a sudden they would be wondering, why are you wearing that? And I had no good answer for them."
The shy young boy could not explain how such pictures appeared on his computer hard drive. The stress of the situation got so bad for Matthew that he told his parents the charges hanging over his head made high school impossible.
"He said 'Mom, I'm hurting,'" said Jeannie. "'I can't sleep. I don't want to disappoint anybody, but I just can't go on anymore.'"
Matt's dreams had been destroyed and his mother was crushed. And even though there was no proof that Matthew personally downloaded those nine pictures, it would be difficult to prove his innocence. Novak said that the pictures alone were practically all the evidence the police needed.
"I thought his chances of winning were probably 20 percent," said Novak.
"They didn't care that I denied it," Matthew said. "They just kept on asking me and kept on thinking that I did it. They just had it built into their mind that this kid is guilty."
What is so frightening about Matt's case? It could happen to anyone.
"The computer had accessed a 'Yahoo' account where there was child pornography," Andrew Thomas, Maricopa County district attorney said. "That was the basis for the search warrants issued by a court."
Yet, the evidence submitted by the Phoenix police department did not identify a specific user. Matt's clean reputation, his good grades and protective family could not stand up to the cold fact that child porn was on that computer. The police and the district attorney had the incriminating photos from the Bandys' computer and the prosecutors were determined to send Matt away.
Matthew Bandy found himself outmatched in the national campaign against child pornography -- harsh laws designed to keep track of pedophiles and punish them severely.
"They didn't care that I denied it, they just kept on asking me and kept on thinking that I did it," he said. "They just had it built in their mind that this kid is guilty, and we're going to make sure that he's convicted. No matter what the means are."
The Bandy family contends that Thomas was on a mission and that his desire to convict was so strong that he ignored important evidence -- like the fact that Matthew passed a lie detector test. The fact that the test indicated that Matt was telling the truth wasn't taken into account.
And that's when the Bandy family really began to fight back. They hired two polygraph examiners who confirmed Matthew was telling the truth. Then they ordered two psychiatric evaluations which concluded that Matthew had no perverted tendencies.
ABC's Jim Avila asked Thomas about the results of the lie detectors tests and Matt's psychiatric evaluations.
"Quite frankly, criminal defendants are not famous for being forthcoming with the facts," Thomas explained. "I'm not a big believer in polygraph tests. And certainly, they're not admissible in court. At the end of the day, we certainly felt there was a good faith reason to go forward with the prosecution." (Click here to read excerpts of Jim Avila's interview with Thomas.)
Despite the positive polygraphs and psychiatric exams, the district attorney pressed on. So the Bandys and their attorney tackled the most difficult question on the table. If Matthew didn't put the pictures on the computer, how did they get there?
For that answer, they turned to computer forensic expert Tammi Loehrs.
"If you have an Internet connection, high speed, through, let's say, your cable company, or through the phone company, that computer is always on, and basically you have an open doorway to the outside," Loehrs said. "So the home user has no idea who's coming into their computer."
Loehrs went into the Bandys' computer and what she found could frighten any parent -- more than 200 infected files, so-called backdoors that allowed hackers to access the family computer from remote locations, no where near Matthew's house.
"They could be on your computer and you'd never know it," she said.
Loehrs says she does not believe that Matthew uploaded those images onto his computer "based on everything I know and everything I've seen on that hard drive."
But police still had those pictures, and the harsh child porn laws made going to court risky for Matthew.
"All the jury would know is that there were these images on the computer," Matthew said. "And here's me sitting in the courtroom … let's blame him because he was on the computer, obviously he did it."
Even if he was only convicted on one count, Matthew would have faced 10 years in jail, and have his "life ruined," said Novak.
"We had no faith," said Jeannie Bandy. "Our lawyers had no faith. We were told he more than likely would end up in jail."
So the Bandys took a deal from the prosecution. In exchange for dropping all counts of child pornography, Matthew pleaded guilty to the strange charge of distributing obscene materials to minors -- a "Playboy" magazine to his classmates.
"To be precise, he was charged with showing [a Playboy magazine to other 16-year-olds] before school, at lunch and after school," Greg Bandy said.
But the Bandy family nightmare was not over. While the prosecution deal offered no jail time for Matthew, he would still be labeled a sex offender. Under Arizona law and in most states around the country, sex crimes carry with them a life of branding. Matthew would be forced to register as a sex offender everywhere he lived, for the rest of his life.
"I have to stay away from children," said Matthew. "I cannot be around any area where there might be minors, including the mall, or the movies, or restaurants or even church. To go to church I have to have written consent from our priest, I have to sit in a different pew, one that doesn't have a child sitting in it."
The judge couldn't believe the prosecution was insisting on sex offender status and invited Matthew to appeal. "20/20" was there when two years of fear and misery finally ended. A message arrived from the judge, ironically on the computer, informing them that Matthew would not be labeled a sex offender. Matt and his parents had won his life back.
In the den of the Bandy home sits the family computer, now unplugged from the Internet. The Bandys learned that, for them, the Web is simply too dangerous.
"It means that computers are not safe," said Jeannie. "I don't want to have one in my house. Under even under the strictest rules and the strictest security, your computer is vulnerable."
