@starkatt I don't, I call myself "furry-adjacent," for several reasons:
* early experience with furry folks (specifically alt.fan.furry.lifestyle) who vehemently (and sometimes venomously) insisted that "mythics aren't real furries, yeah they can be Otherkin but they aren't One Of Us"
* having scales/feathers instead of fur, claiming "furry" feels--etymologically incorrect
* never had more than superficial interactions with furry/fan social groups
* weird semi-phobia of fursuits :\
