For me, I stumbled upon the word “furries” browsing a random forum while procrastinating school stuffs, unfortunately, got curious and looked it up.
I didn’t know there was a community for people who liked anthro animals and hadn’t even made the connection that quite a few childhood favourite movies (like Robin Hood, Lady and the Tramp, Jungle Book, Aristocats, and Oliver and Company, to name a few) had anthro animals in common.
This is definitely me.
