Fursuits

Further Confusion is one of the biggest international traditions celebrating anthropomorphism in all of its guises. With the attendance of over 3,000 and developing, it's one of the premiere events of its type. Further Confusion includes charitable benefits, educational seminars, art shows, panels and overall social activities.

A Furry monster is anthropomorphic, where human and animal traits are both present. It can be physical, psychological or both. They can be funny or serious. Utilization of the term furry is restricted almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other ethnic groups aware of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also sometimes utilized to refer to fans of their anthropomorphic arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and actors, actors, voice talent, literary writers and songwriters.

Within the accepted use of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny animals:" they're anthropomorphic, largely behave like humans, and may be considered the animation equivalent of character actors. On the other hand, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles don't have fur). They're generally more"realistic" in appearance compared to humorous animals and behave more like crosses between humans and animals. They're sapient and equally as much"people" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as animals for laughs.

For instance, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to one another, but their behavior and psychology is very closely derived from that observed in real life rabbits. Additional furries aren't so closely tied to their own creature sides, but there's always some furry art amount of critical consideration given for this.
