Furry is a distinctive, cartoonish style, I think. Creatures that stand like humans but are otherwise animals with like Disney faces.

Hmmm, really? I thought furry referred to anyone sexualizing animals with some level or another of anthropomorphization.

In general use, as examples:

A character like Lola Bunny is furry. This level of anthro is what furry generally refers to.

A character like Pikachu would be referred to as bestiality or beast or feral, and it'd be a mistake to assume most people who call themselves furries are into this.

A character like Simba is somewhere between those two, more to the Pikachu side. A character like The Beast is also between those two, more to the Lola Bunny side.

Characters ranging from Lola to the Beast seem to be the most popular and generic type of furry fandom.

The Genie is xeno, or alien, or monster.

Furry doesn't require sexualisation. You just have to like anthropomorphic animals, usually humanoid ones.

You can be a furry if you're just a fan of anthro-style films, to be fair.

You don't have to be interested in the sexual side of the fandom any more than you have to like hentai to be called an anime fan. If you like furry artwork and only dip your toes in to mainstream anthro-style movies and shows, you can call yourself a furry.

The dirty art is optional, not a requirement.

That makes sense. Still not sure I see hard lines between that, xeno, and monsters. Someone else above talked about Venn diagrams, and that makes sense. There is too much overlap for me to personally see them as completely distinct categories with hard lines, though.

If you dont know what furry is, maybe don't try to correct others on it?
