    furries is just a term. its like gay and lesbian. why no term for male gay. because often when people said gay they meant gay males but sometimes they just meant gay for what it means. its not quite the same but furry is just slang and pegged to the majority thing and its catchy. Maybe it should be like anthros or something but it is what it is.

      Yeah, “furry” is just a fandom term for “anthropomorphic character”. Adding stuff like “scalies” and such is fine, but it’s still all under the “furry” umbrella
