Feral
[edit]How relevant are feral characters to the fandom at large? Furscience barely touches on them (there's a graph showing that less than 10% of furries would describe their character as more feral than anthro) and I couldn't find any free usable images of feral art (presumably why a non-free image is used). I don't know that it should be the first image someone sees after scrolling down though. -- Reconrabbit 15:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- anecdotally feral art/sonas are decently common, but thats moot if no sources cover it. it might be worth mentioning that plenty of characters that enjoy popularity in the fandom are themselves feral/non-anthropomorphic, e.g. The Lion King ArkHyenawoop! (she/they/it) 16:13, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Im curious to know about one thing (I'm just curious): but can you be a therian/ feral, as well as a furry? (not trying to be rude to any therians and furries out there) ~2026-31314-00 (talk) 17:14, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- yes, you can be both scourgezoned (it/its) 17:38, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Translation/expand
[edit]I reverted the changes by @Bencefo just now. If you disagree with my revert: can you explain what changes you want to be made? There is already an abundance of images on this article. Also, the article hu:Furry may cover different topics compared to this article in English, but translating that here would be entirely inappropriate, since all of its references are to Wikifur and German Wikpedia, which are open encyclopedias. -- Reconrabbit 14:42, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- The Hungarian page tells a completely different story, it needs a complete rewrite Bencefo (talk) 13:36, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- I don't see what is so different from the English article besides some information on furry in Hungary that look like original research. -- Reconrabbit 15:50, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have to agree. The sources on that page are utter junk. Historyday01 (talk) 16:20, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

The BBC created an article called "Who are the Furries?" and I've heard of it, but not seen it before. So I was actually quite happy and proud for the BBC to create an article about it. But as a furry, I have never seen one of us in real ife before, but only on YouTube. I'm quite sad about that, so when im old enough and have enough money, I will go to a con and see how it goes. Plus, if you have any questions, I'll frequently check back here and answer them for you. ~2026-31314-00 (talk) 17:27, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Spoken article
[edit]
I removed the template for Spoken article from this page because it is hideously out of date. I will probably do a re-read of it some day myself. I was about to nominate this for GAN but it's got that move discussion going on right now at Talk:Furry pornography that needs resolution. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 20:07, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Reconrabbit The entire spoken project is hideously out of date itself - it needs to be replaced by an AI. In fact, there are already services that will read a page pretty well, so it's really is just a dinosaur waiting to be put out of its misery one way or another.
