Am I a furry? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

A bit of a weird question.. If I want to have fox ears and tail (like, all the time if it was practical and not taboo), some cute noises, but still consider myself mostly human, what does that make me?

I often call myself a fox girl. does the label furry apply according to this community's standards or is that more for full bodies/paws/suits etc?

thank you! <3

Furry can apply.

So can Kemono (Beast), the Japanese version of furries.

Though what you describe usually goes under the more specific label of Kemonomimi (Beast ears).

Kemonomimi is what you see in most Japanese media like Tayutama, Kanokon, Nekopara, Spice & Wolf, Hyper Police (though it does have one character that is a full Kemono), and Wagaya no Ō-Inari-sama.

Kemonomimi also has the major exception of being more palatable in anime communities compared to Kemono or Furry. (Just because they are 90% human, 10% beast.)
