"Misunderstood" furries have lifted the lid on their unique community slamming claims that their "fur-sonas" are just a fetish.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Furry fandom is made up of people who express an interest in animals with human qualities. The trend began in the 1980s but has since boomed worldwide, with members spurred by the love of anthropomorphic animals like those in Disney movies and video games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the furry community, 84% identify as male, 13% female and 2.5% trans. Some spoke out in a Real Stories documentary on YouTube to dismiss common misconceptions surrounding the subculture.<\/p>\n

One Furry named Bandit said: "My fur-sona is basically to memorialise my dog. He was bouncy and fun and loving and I guess whenever I'm wearing Bandit, I'm a little him.<\/p>\n

"I could say it is the opposite of my life because I'm a pretty laid back guy out of suit – and I get in suit and I get 'party' fun."'<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Addressing the idea that the community is spurred by fetishism, he said: "It angers me when I find people that say 'oh all you do is dress up in those suits and party and carry on and have sex in those suits.'<\/p>\n

"If you've ever had vigorous sex naked you know how much you sweat, can you imagine doing that in a full fur suit? You would die. It can quickly get to over 100 degrees inside the head. So no, that's a false statement to even think that's all it does."<\/p>\n

But he admitted: "Yes, there is sex that happens in the fandom – I remember when I was in my 20s – but the fur-sona, fandom thing is about helping other people, to put a smile on people's face and let them forget about the real world and all their troubles."<\/p>\n
