Fourses are real all about them. Furri in Russia: the connection of the best qualities of a person and the beast

There are many different subcultures in the world. They include people who differ in their behavior and appearance from the majority. In an effort to stand out from the total mass, they are looking for like-minded people. So the deplorations are created.

Examples of subcultures

• Musical - these movements are associated with certain directions of music. For example, hippies were fans of rock music and differed with long hair and pacifist glances.
• Internet communities are associated with the emergence of new technologies. Their number is constantly increasing.
• Sports - attract the fans of various sports, such as football in their ranks.
• Art subcultures - come from enthusiasm by any kind of art in addition to music. A bright example is a role-playing movement, which is closely connected with fantastics and fantasy. Animation of Japan gave rise to Otaku, whose representatives are passionate about pop music, manga, anime, drama and other things.

In Russia, as in the whole world, the movement of Furri has recently spread. Who is it? We learn from the article.

Community Furry

Translated from the English "Furri" means "fluffy". This name is due to the fact that representatives of this deputation are fond of anthropomorphic beasts. Basically, human habits are attributed to predators and rodents, the body of which is covered with fluffy fur. For example, foxes, rats, cheetahs, lions, wolves. Because of this, they began to call them in English-speaking countries "fluffy."

The singularity of the community is that people seek to embody the image of the anthropomorphic beast in themselves or their work. Many identify themselves with the selected character.

Anthropomorphic animals are representatives of fabulous characters that combine the vivid qualities of the beast and man. They behave like people.

Who belong to Furri

The subculture unites those who identify themselves with anthropomorphic creatures, and those who create images of favorite characters. Among them may arise contradictions regarding belonging to one subculture. Sometimes they do not at all recognize each other. However, it is worth considering the details of whom unites the community under consideration.

Furri (subculture) includes:

• The admirers of artistic and animated works in which anthropomorphic animals are involved. For example, "Ninja Turtles", "King-Lion", "Mischi Gammi", Roman "Radvoll" B. Jakes.
• Artists who love to draw fictional heroes. They also produce furry art.
• People who perceive themselves as characters animated and artistic works.

The representative of the deputation may have one or all the qualities listed above. In any case, it can be attributed to "fluffy".

History of origin

It is believed that the community originated in the United States in the 1980s of the twentieth century. Today, Furri (subculture) exists in many countries of the world, including England, Canada, Germany, Japan, Australia, Russia. In different countries, the number of representatives of "fluffy" is different. For example, in the US there are more than 100 thousand people.

The appearance of subculture is associated with the passion of animation films in which the heroes are presented as anthropomorphic animals. For example, Disney Robin Hood is designed in the form of a cunning fox.

The community received widespread due to the worldwide Internet. Fans and like-minded people can communicate, shares creativity, appoint meetings, create thematic sites.

Creativity Furry

The fans of this direction are fond of various types of creativity, with the help of which they embody the idea of \u200b\u200bunity with nature and the favorite character. There are many artists among them, the authors of scenarios, illustrators, sculptors, musicians, writers.

Not everyone has the same level of skill, so beginners strive to purchase as much such products as possible. Furri-comics, dolls, pictures are very popular.

Among the works of this direction there are also works of military orientation. Among them are very popular among them, furry-militarism, who live in the world of wars and apocalypse.

Representatives of this subculture distribute their own works on special sites. Very often they are not inferior to professional publications.

Costumes for Furry

To achieve perfection, it is necessary to completely reincarnate in the favorite anthropomorphic animal. For this, special costumes are sewn, which are called Fursiuti.

In many countries, Furri enjoy their costumes in ordinary life. They go to them for walks, ride motorcycles, play basketball. Many of them perform in children's events, entertaining all those present.

In different cities, meetings of representatives of one community are held, they are called furs. They all have fun, get acquainted, participate in suits and drawings in contests.

How Furri support the image without a suit

Most of the "fluffy" do not seek to stand out from the crowd in everyday life. They do not wear a job fit or study. However, without him, many support their image. To do this, it is enough to apply one of the ways:

• change the hairstyle - when bleaching the tips of the hair, the image will reminister a fox;
• make-up - to emphasize the necessary parts in the form of large eyes, animal nose, feline mustache;
• details of clothes in the form of tail, ears, paws will add a realistic image.

For greater realism, the tail is not just a pinch to clothing, but to turn it through a small hole in the pants or skirt. Although it is most often hanging on the belt. What to use in order to fit your anthropomorphic hero, solves each Furri separately.

Subculture in Russia

In our country, this direction is not very popular yet. The direction of Furri (subculture) is just beginning to gain momentum in Russia. Those who consider themselves part of the community, just a few thousand. Well, those of them who walk in special costumes, units.

Unlike the United States, the movement of Furri in Russia originated from internal worldview. His adherents believe that the path to perfection lies through the union of the best qualities of the animal and man. The compound must pass both in the soul and in the body.

They show their aspirations in creativity (furry art). Many of them compose poems, sing songs, draw ideal characters.

Meetings of Russian-speaking Furri began to be held in Russia since 2001. Often it is possible to hear how they are called "Rusphurges".

That representatives of Furri think about themselves

All Furri belong to their hobby. For some of this lifestyle, for others - the game.

Here are some basic postulates:

• Furri is the meaning of life in which inseparable communication with nature is felt. In the image of the beast (real or mythical) there is a feeling of harmony with nature.
• This is an ordinary game. The same as paintball. For military games, people are changed into camouflage, take a weapon and hide with him in bushes and buildings. However, they are not soldiers and Furri - do not beast. They play something unusual to know themselves from an unknown side.
• Furri is the state of the soul, in which the shackles of ordinaries are broken. A person has the opportunity to show all his positive qualities, complementing their features of the beast. All this is embodied in artwork and in art.
• Many attracts nature and then the feeling of peace that she gives. It is better to sit alone in the image of your favorite cat, than to crowble among the mass of people on the disco.

Furri. (eng. Furry. - furry) - This is Fandom. Community of people who are connoisseurs of anthropomorphic (humanifs) animals and the ideas of anthropomorphism as a whole. In English, writing this word in the plural is slightly different: "Furries". Also, the term "furry" is made to call anthropomorphic animals (characters), and the members of the Fandom. This multivalucy of the term contributes a fair confusion in the initial stages of acquaintance with the concept of furry-fandom.

I will not paint a lot, what is a global furry hyperfand, but I will simply introduce you to the case through the description of the main terms. Most likely, if you hit our site, you are already familiar with the concept of "furry" and are now engaged in the search for "His parties".

It is less likely to be so called any works containing anthropomorphic animals using the term Anthroph art. Creating and discussion of Furry Art is one of the main classes in Fandom and the most basic in the network of its part. In some cases, Art may be mistaken to the furry-fandom (why?).

Such events are mainly held in the summer and in a suitable climate. "Furri-Camp" does not experience problems with the placement - from the participants it is expected that they will independently provide their own housing and food. The main concern of the organizers is the safe and conflict vacation of the furs in an informal setting.

Furry or Furd

[English. Furry House]- This is a private house, known as the habitat of a large number of furs or as a place of furry meetings and events. Here, the guests are often a lot of Furri or there are several furs (usually from other cities). Furren houses continue the idea of \u200b\u200bSCI-Fi-houses.

Fourrist

FURRIST] - In narrow circles, it is so accepted to call people who are interested in the topic of Furri or carrying out some regular interaction with the subculture, but at the same time denying their involvement in the furry-fandom (or not suitable for the definition of a furry participant).

[English. PhiPaw] - "furry identifier", the symbol that the participants of the furry-fandome indicate, implicitly giving it to understand others about their belonging to the fandom. It looks like a symbol "φ" ("PHI"), surrounded by fingerprints of the paws, which forms a general graphic image. Initially, it is customary to use the elements of the wolf paws, but later some participants began to use the paws of other beings: foxes, cats, rans, various eases, etc. You can use a furry-fandome symbol, for example, wearing a badge on a bag or print on a T-shirt. Among the older, a simplified version is often used (simply "φ", without paws).

Furri Code (Forkodes)

[from English. FURRY CODE, FURCODE] - In narrow circles there is a tendency to encrypt its basic data related to furry fandom. Through a special program, passing the survey, the participant receives a specific code in which basic information is encrypted. Furcode is used for compact presentation of information about yourself, which will be understood only by the furs. Furcode was created by Ross Smith (ROSS Smith) in 1996 and since 1998 was not updated (therefore, some categories are outdated). We have developed your own furcode if it is interesting to you.

Furica

Furiction with hybrid furry characters

[English. Furotica] - The connection of the words "Furri" and "Erotic". This word naturally occurs when discussing erotic content. It can be synonymous Yiffa, but denote the "sublime" direction in its genre or at all opposite: in the discussion of art there is a distinction between eroticism and nodognografie, although different sources determine it differently. First of all, the hauling should carry cultural value, both for furry-fandom and the sphere of fine art as a whole. Furication is filed as a kind of refined phenomenon, as a spiritual attraction of an instinct of continuing, focusing on the perfection of forms and relations.

Yiff

[English. Yiff] - General name for all types of pornography with the participation of anthropomorphic animals. The main difference between Yiff-Art from Furotics - focusing on the image of frankly sequeous scenes. NOPNOGRAFIA is fixed on the descriptions of the contacts of the organs, in addition to acts and does not carry any cultural value, and instead serves as a means of satisfaction of the pock. Later, the term has increased additional values \u200b\u200bas: "Sex", "sexy", "excited". For example, the expression "Yiffs" means "lustful" or "exciting". If you are engaged in the spread of Yiff Art, we strongly recommend refusing to use tags # Furri and #furry. In their posts, not to exacerbate the reputation of the entire furry-fandome with their search spam. This recommendation has existed since 1990, but most of the Jiffer ignores it. Historically, before the intervention of Jiffer, the word "Yiff" meant joyful "Hi" (on the artificial language Foxen).

Yiffer

[English. Yiffer] "This is an ero-furrist if you can say that a member of the hyperfenopoma, which allocates pornography for itself in full fandome. His main The motivation of the stay "nearby" with the subculture of the Furrey is interest in erotic creativity, as well as the potential to find a sexual partner. Such motivators encourage Yiffer to actively disseminate Yiff-art and fight for the dominance of erotic content in Furri-Fandom, giving all the rest of the work and ridicuing art connoisseurs (in the event that art does not generate income). Jifferm in Furri-Fandom is tolerant, mainly due to the fact that Yiffers stimulate the economic component of the fandom. However, our community ("Furri Culture") does not consider Yiffers with full-fledged furs and refers them to the category of furries, which is sufficiently destructive (why?).

Klinfur, Wedge-Art

There may be your art 😉

[English. Cleanfur, Clean-Art] - This is word formation from "clean" and "art", and the abbreviation "Cleanfur" can be translated as "pure fur". These phrases were invented as search hash, when the amount of yiff content in the hyperfandom reached the limit and good content of neutral content became difficult to search. These hashtags help to find, mostly, only cultural furry content.

Unfortunately, at present, the commercialization of the Fandom is pushing "Clean content" to the side and to preserve it, it is necessary to create separate narrow-grayscale communities (for example, such as "Furri Culture"). Some communities distributing "clean" art use phrases cleanfur and Clean-Art Among Hestegov, as well as in the names of their Internet resources and galleries, in the struggle for the "purity" of the furry-fandoma.

Furspich

[English. FURSPEECH, FURSPEAK] - literally "fluffy speech". The general word to designate the conversational slang inside the furry-fandome (and some adjacent subcultures). Fandom terms, and established expressions, and species terminology are included here. When Furspich is used too actively, making it an incomprehensible even for other furs, it usually causes disapproval (and we do not recommend abuse).

If we talk about furry characters, it would be more correct to call them "Zooanthropomorphs" , and the idea uniting the furry-fand itself - "Zooanthropomorphism" . But it is too long and difficult, like "Anthropomorphic animal" - Therefore, frequent furry characters are called just furries. This is a key concept in Furri Fandom. Anthropomorphs created inside the furry-fandome are often a totality better from the animal (visual acuity, hearing, smell, touch, fluffiness, external signs of an animal of a particular type) and a person (straight, facial expressions, details of anatomy, the ability to think, various sublime social aspects, etc.).

In the first role-playing games such monsters were often dragons, trolli, gnolls, kobold And other creatures that were previously taken to be dangerous and causing fear or disgust. However, in our time, monsters can be, on the contrary, friendly or even accessible to playing for them, and creatures that do not cause fear or disgust can be performed as a "material for extermination".

A generally accepted canonical criterion to determine this status is not yet.

Tailhole] - The term from the furomics, meaning a special structure of clothing (mainly, pants), where there is a cutout for the tail, or a jumper that allows to hold the pants without interfering with the tail.

Jargonisms ("convert")

"Fursonal", "Lapodens", "Laptank" and etc. [English. Purrfect, Fursonal, etc.]- "Wonderful", "Personal", "applause", "Handshake" and other combined words. Some of them are immediately intuitive, and some are pretty difficult to communicate and understand the interlocutor.

Sound resistance ("meal / cravings")

"Me", "MESS / TEN", "Mafftki / Tiffka", "FIR", "Moore", RRP, "Ravr", "Agor" et al. - Sound-resistant borrowing that can mean anything, depending on what value is investing in this author. Often "meat" and "taiga" are used as "I / me / My" analogues and "You / You / Your", as well as for greeting. Usually, these sounds simply express emotions, but we recommend not to abuse them in everyday speech - it often leads to misunderstanding. Usually too frequent use of these words causes disapproval in Furri-Fandom.

"Yay!", "Yay!", "Yai!" [English. Yay] - This is an expression from the Fandom MLP, which, in mind widespread, fixed in furry-fandome. Timid "yay!" Usually quoted orally, because in the text intonation is not felt. With her armor can express their sincere or careful joy.

Trends in global hyperfandom

Furry Art.

In Furri-Fandom, the most popular topic for discussion is the work of furry artists, images of drawn characters and plots.

Furry comics

One of the most popular options for filing Furri Art (in addition to single drawings) are comics consisting sometimes, from several pages. There are furry comics more than 1000 pages!

Furri-artists

These are the participants of the furry-fandom, which draw predominantly furry characters and support the development of creativity in subculture, being connoisseurs of art as a whole.

Anthrop-artists

Thus are called artists who draw not only anthropomorphic animals, but also in the genre of anthropomorphism, in general (that is, any anthropomorphic creatures). Often, anthropra-artists do not recognize their involvement in the furry-fandom, and their drawn furry characters - furs / furry creativity. "Furri Culture" clarifies this moment:

1. Anthropra-artists are not furs ( members Furri-Fandom) is true. Even if the participants of the Fedoma ordered their work and actively interact in other areas (for example, the exchange of experience between Furri-artists and Anthrop-artists or joint creativity).
2. If the character is suitable for the definition of a furry character - this is a furry character. No matter who the furs draws and for what purpose. Obviously. Therefore, for example, Sergali is hybrid furry characters and refer to the category of "fictional species" (Alter-Furri, to be accurate), despite the fact that some may be against such involvement, referring to the ENT of the Universe Comics about Sergalah ...
3. Although Anthropra-artists draw a furray if their work goes into open access - they contribute to the development of furry-fandom (and the drawer, including) and carry some (at least moral) responsibility ... Therefore, to speak that Anthrop-artists do not contribute to Furri-Fandom or do not affect it - in the root incorrectly.

Role-playing chat rooms

(Rolling) [English. Roleplay, Rp] - These are games in which you create a fictional character and interact with the characters of other authors, as a rule, through the Internet. The term "role-playing games" is usually reduced as "RP", especially in chat rooms and forums. This is a joint inventing history with the participation of personal Furson of two and more players, in a variety of genres and conditions.

Loans, Convetern / Furrencies

Participants of the furry-fandoma love to meet on special furry events, or arrange mass walks around the city, often in Fursyuts (Fursing).

Fursoying

[English. FursUiting] - In the furry-fandome, the idea of \u200b\u200b"cooling" into the image of his Furson is popular, right up to the creation of Fursuit - a special costume of the anthropomorphic animal (his Furson). Fursing literally means "wearing Fursuit", often implying public walks in it in the city or in nature. Fursing is one of the forms of Cosplay [English. COSPLAY].

Furri Studios / Workshops, Krafts

In Furri-Fandom, there is a tendency to organize workshops engaged in the production of crafts and less frequently - Fourses. Often such workshops are private and consist of one person, but there are also cases of even official registration of studios, as a store or enterprise at the state level.

Collecting plush

Some fandom participants love to collect soft toys in the form (most often) miniature animals. These are usually animals of those species that the participant sympathizes and / or to which his Furson belongs (if it is). Such toys in the Russian-speaking community are often called "buns". Also, the participants of the Fandom are ordered in the workshops "Buns" in the form of their Furson.

Furri-literature, fan fiction

The community appreciates the stories that describe various plots of adventures of furry characters. Fan fiction is often published, which are a continuation or alternative history of some other popular work or a cartoon, in which furry characters participated. Also, fan fiction can be written, for example, on films that are not related to anthropomorphic animals, but in history itself replaces all the characters on the furs. Currently, there is a decline in interest in literature and replacing it for audiobooks.

Furry Animation and Cartoons

In Furri-Fandom, the cartoons with furry characters are of particular value (for example, Disney Robin Hood or Zverstopolis). Recently, the participants of the subculture of Furri themselves have become quite high-quality animation, which is very pleased with the whole community.

Highup

Some of the first Tamagoti

[English. Virtpet] - Trend "Clearing" for virtual cartoon animals in the form of the game. Such games involve the interaction of the player with the "pet" (feed, clean, treat, raise, etc.). Most often in applications on smartphones and social networks. The progenitors of such games are gaming devices "Tamagotchi" (Tamagochi.).

Computer games with furs

Recently, more and more high-quality scene games with zooanthropomorphic characters is becoming. In some games, multiplayer modes are provided, which allows participants of the furry-fandome to get large in the role of their character and interact with other furs. Also on the way VR Gameswho will enable the creation and management of their own ex-avatar in the form of personal Furson.

Furri-Ergonomics (Furonics)

Example of a driver's seat adapted for brass

Fouronics is very important for furry characters.

[English. Furgonomic] - Simple words, this is a "science" about what should be the usual life objects should be convenient to use furry characters (there are no ordinary shoes on the paw on the paw, ordinary headphones will not be climbing on the ears). Some furry artists are present in the work of the elements of furomics, various theories and concepts of "alternative" human belongings adapted under the furs.

Furriesofia or Unasofia

Furri Philosophy, Furri ideology [English. Furrysophy] - a certain component of psychology, philosophy and behavior of Furri. It is obviously believed that both furry characters, and the participants of the furry-fandome, there must be some kind of a certain worldview, character traits, behavior. The basis of furry philosophy is the idea "Connections of the best qualities of animal and man". This idea allows you to move away from human society, thinking and standards, to deduct from self-defining with them and on their influence. When someone believes that humanity is greedy, cruel, petty, boring, closed, limited ( conclusive thought in many life situations and in transition), then Furri, "Fluffiness" as opposition human, becomes salvation. Contrasting humanity (negative representation of him) gives a "fluffy" look at life openness, compassion, generosity, playfulness and eccentricity. Furri-ideology lies in the pursuit of public idealization (endowment of characters and their worlds with the best qualities, as well as personal interest in a certain "perfect society"), which is brightly reflected in the favorite characters, plots, the image of relationships.

Unfortunately, such concepts like furrixophia, furomics, furry literature are small or completely rejected by most of the hyperfenopoma, since it is difficult to understand and perception. Sooner or later, it is necessary to admit that the participants of the hyperfeno are the same people, the same frantically, the crowd, Humanov, humanity (in a negative impact of him), who does not wish to think about and seeking only to pleasure. This is a topic for a separate article ().

Facial makeup and body art

Facial maker, body art

[English. BODY ART] - Alternative reincarnation in his Furson is body art. It is drawing on the own body of a special texture depicting the cover of the skin / fur, and on the face there is a similarity of the animal muzzle, bypassing human anatomy. Sometimes in addition to the face makeup, masks use, if the paints are not enough to create the desired image.

Furication and Yiff-art

In Furri-Fandom, many connoisseurs of erotic and frankly pornographic genres of fine creativity, where the main characters are furry characters (zooanthropomorphs). Both directions in creativity belong to the furry-fandom, if they represent cultural value or at least aesthetically attractive. However, it is important to note that the participants of the hyperfeno, which consider such aspects the main value of furry fandomIn fact, the furry fandom does not belong. Such people are part of the community yiffer or xenophilBut not furs (why?).

Purism

(purist) [from lat. Purus] - A participant who adheres to those or other views on the purity of the fandom or fan creativity. The appropriate views and the course, their adhere to, is called purism, although the word "Polytor" is used in the fandom circles much more often. In other areas, this word denotes similar phenomena, for example, "Language Purism" - This is a condemnation of foreign borrowing and neologisms in the language. One of the popular topics of discussion in the community is to consider Furri, and what is not. In various stages of the existence of the Fandom, groups arose, promoting one or another concept of "True Furri". For example, this topic was visible in Furri's relationships to armor and hot disputes, whether the Faratral Pony Furrians are or not. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe principal separation of the hyperfenopoma on furry-fandom and armor-fandom is a bright manifestation of purism. The Burned Furs group condemned the excessive passion for Jiffe and laid the foundation for the principal separation of the hyperfenopoma on the "full-fledged" furs and so-called Jiffers. In our microfandom, many those who support the idea of \u200b\u200bseparation and classification of fandoms in the hyperfandom is also a manifestation of purism.

"Bambi-Effect"

[English. Bambi Effect] - The procurement of the public is stronger than the troubles of cute animals, such as cats and deer than non-patious, such as alligators and hippos. This is an important factor in the struggle for animal protection. The name comes from the Disney cartoon "Bambi", published in 1942. Bambi had a powerful influence on the world (first of all - American) culture and social thought. The film has become one of the most famous, popular and sustained checks of the symbols of the struggle for the rights of animals, especially because of the presence of the main character.

"Drama"

Jargon, ironic name of disputes, excitement and scandals in the community. It is applied by various communities and fandoms and relates more to the hyperfend. The cause of the drama may be personal conflicts made to the public or taking place in the public; ideological disagreements; Events concerning entire groups and communities (for example, changing the course of the site); aftere and fraud; as well as intentional provocations. Inside the furry community it is called "Furri-Drama". A common cause of drama is the "theft of art" and the contradictions of the administration, moderation or other tops between themselves or with users of the Internet resource. In addition to the Internet, the drama can unfold on confurry. This is not an integral part of the furry-fandome (why?).

Black PR

[English. Black PR] - According to Wikipedia, "black PR" can be attributed to the methods of knowledge of the information war. He has many intermediate goals aimed at making the position of a competitor on the market shaky and unsure of antipagaganda and informational displacement. Previously, this phenomenon applied more to competition between artists and workshops for the right to serve customers, but when Furri Fandom collided with "ideological wars" between Fandoms (for example, Jiffer's attempts to plant their ideology of furs through the displacement of the neutral consultant to the Palospace in social networks, as well as Organization of demoralization groups) - Many old-timers expressed concern about such a state of affairs ... This phenomenon is not an integral part of the furry-fandome, due to the specifics (why?).

Sex minorities

Furri-Fandom very tolerant refers to people with unconventional orientation, so Furri was accustomed to openly recognize their orientation, especially on the Internet. Such tolerance takes its beginning in Furrisofia, which underlies the "furry worldview". Unfortunately, the most of the Furrisofia, as well as about the "furry worldview", does not know that it gives modern society the illusion that Furri-Fandom - and there is a stronghold of MENSHTVTV, but this is an extremely annoying misconception, an exhausted group of famous yiffers, affecting this The topic ... Such delusions entail not only the criticism of a negative nature to the Furray, but also give the CM community to make public statements on behalf of the furry community. For example, "demoralization groups" in social networks VKontakte actively convince their subscribers in the fact that Furri is only a Fatish owned by the LGBT community. "Furri culture" is extremely outraged by such false inclogs. This phenomenon does not apply to the furry-fandom, due to the specifics (why?).

LGBT-incloud

[English. LGBT-INCLUDE] - "LGBT" This is an acronym, which emerged in English for the overall designation of sexual minorities. Over time, this acronym became synonymous with the CM community, which borrowed its leaders and ideology, cooperated, turned into an official movement for minority rights under various abbreviations and even organized a separate conditional "kingdom". The main goal of the LGBT movement is to distribute its ideology and products. LGBT activists periodically lead on furry Internet resources financed popularization Fetish and advertising intimate products. Act of propaganda (as a rule, this is the redemption of Internet resources in order to substitute content or the introduction of symbols of the CM community and product images in neutral creativity) is called LGBT-del From the English word "include" (literally "inclusion in content"). At the moment, the most active such methods are used by LGBT activists in the fandome of animeshnikov, furs and armor. The main influence on the world culture is the incloud symbols in popular films and cartoons. Most supporters of such propaganda methods are yiffera. This phenomenon does not apply to the furry-fandom, due to the specifics (why?), And also negatively perceived by the participants of the furry-fandome and especially participants in Furri culture.

Fetishism

(Fetish) [English. Fetishism, fetish] - sexy idolatism, symbolism or parcialism. The variety of sexual behavior, in which inadverted items, things, sounds, smells, separate parts of the body are becoming a source and incentive, things, sounds, not related to sex initially (instead of traditionally overall perception, both the partner and the process). Thanks to LGBT propaganda, in Hyperfandom, an incredibly huge amount of Yiff-Art, dedicated to fetishes: from innocuous "Lapophilia" [English. pawfetish] to a completely unimaginable bent slag, in an amount approaching more than 80% on some, in the past neutral, Internet resources redeemed by LGBT activists. In most cases, this phenomenon does not apply to the furry-fandom, due to the specifics (why?), And also negatively perceived by many participants of the furry-fandome and especially participants in Furri Culture.

Microfend Furri Culture

Microfend

Logo Microphone "Furri Culture"

[English. Microfandom] - as a rule (no, even as an exception), so a group of people who previously held in Fandom and who separated from it on ideological (or other reasons) appear in order to establish their similar Fandom with its amendments. The microfend does not become an independent fandome, and logically exists inside the old fandome, while it is no longer part of it as a simple community (subgroups). Because the new values \u200b\u200bof the microphone are not interpretation of the values \u200b\u200bof the old fandome, and exist separately, without being based on generally accepted (perhaps, partially, and perhaps - completely).

Application:

"Furri Culture" believes that the Old Fandom did not take care of his informational security and integrity, therefore began to degrade. We will be foresight ...

If desired, even on "Wikifur", you can dig such definitions that quite clearly indicate the position of the participant of the furry-fandome, despite the summary.

For example, criteria for determining the furry participant from the site "Wikifur".

Wikifur does not forget the sources of fans of zooanthrokomorphism, nor extracts that explain that the zooanthropomorphism is the original historical basis of the furry-fandome, and the animalism is only practical - for self-improvement.

Extract from Wikifur, sharpening on the origins of the interest of the Furray to Zooanthromorphism.

But who will read it, right? So it turns out that the only way out to enjoy the art and be in the "His party" - it is clearly to understand the rest of the Hyperfense participants that we have other values, more exalted anything, rather than universally adopted in the humanov society, as well as Clear and understandable.

Hyperfandom

Furri-Hyperfend (not to be confused with "hyper-furry") - it is so historically called the Fandom of the connoisseurs of certain, furry characters, farars, dragons, xenomorphs, mythical beings and other fictional species, combined. But there is a logical error. Immediately determine what to use the word furry in phrase "Furri-Hyperfandom" - wrongbecause Furri is one of the small components of the hyperfeno.

• Hyperfandom
  • Fandom Bestiari
    • Furri-Fandom
      • Furri ( the main full part of the furry fandome)
      • Alter-Furri (alternative part of the furry-fandoma focused on fictional species and visual)
    • Yiffer ("non-furry", mostly concentrated on the yiff-component and interacting with other yiffers)
    • Furrists ("non-furry", regularly interested in furry-subjects, but not interacting with furry-fandome)
    • Other non-Furri ...
  • Other non-Furri ...

Alter Furri or Alterfurri

[English. ALTER-FURRY] - This term is invented by us to designate border states morphanities Furri characters. So called furry characters, who, in their biological structure or the image of thinking, are far from the classical idea of \u200b\u200bthe furs, but still look like a furray, for some signs. Read more about how to determine the furry of the character, you can learn from this article: the difference between furry characters from others. The graph shows the ratio of three major "species components", which determine most of the types of characters. FC believes that the main "components" are: anthropomorphism, zoomorphism and xenomorphism.

Furri. (From the English. Furry - Covered Fur) is at the same time subculture of people united in the style of Furri, as well as Fandom, which includes fans of creative works with the participation of anthropomorphic animals.

The whole everyday life of Furri is built around the furry art, literature (fan fiction) and the craft of their own costumes. You can also meet the term teriantropic - This is a person identifying himself with some animal, introducing into his daily life elements of its character and appearance (attributes).

How did Furri appear?

We will not dig deeply in history, we only note that all the fault was the emergence of human-like animals in animated series. The emergence of the very movement researchers usually refer to the beginning of the 1980s, when the term "furry-fandom" appears in various fantasy communities and minor editions of comics (English Furry Fandom). With the development of the same Internet in the 1990s, sites that unite representatives of this subculture are formed (for example, Furnation, Furrymuck). From the same time, Anthrocon and Further Confusion (since 1996), Midwest Fur Fest (2000), Further Confusion (2002) begin.

In Russia, the subculture of Furri begins to actively spread in 2000, the basis of the association is also the Internet community (for example, Furnation.ru, www.yiff.ru, Wikifur, groups on social networks, etc.). The main topic of these sites is Furry Art.

Appearance Furry

Most Furri do not stand out from the crowd. But there are representatives who are also trying to be similar to animals, for this they use four main ways to look different:

• hairstyle (if discouraged the tips of the hair, something appears in the image);
• make-up: allocate the main details (for example, draw nose) or make a full coloring;
• additional details of clothing: tail, ears and paws. The tail is hanging, as a rule, on the belt. For particularly wanting realism - any adhesive fastening (tape) and a hole in the pants.
• fursuit (full suit).

Worldview

Some of the Furri are convinced that man and animal are the essence of the indivisible natural spirit. We will learn a lot from animals, and never break the sacred chain connecting us into a single intelligent live condition on the planet Earth. As the researcher, O. S. Lisitsyn notes, the path to excellence, from the point of view of Furri, is to combine the best qualities of a person and the beast at the body level and soul. On this basis, the fandom participants build all their worldview and seek to embody this perfection. Creativity is for Furri a way to satisfy their spiritual search, expressing in drawings, stories, songs, verses, etc.

In Folklore, Furri is distributed by the tradition of dreams, where they completely feel like animals, inhabit the animal environment, running low clutching to the grass, float under the thickness of turquoise ocean water, the land will fly, the wings are flying widely over the unknown expanses of the planet ... such dreams have a clear sign The presence of an animal spirit in us. Everyone is similar to his twin animal, and the furry can tell a lot about this.

Furson and role-playing games

Commandable social practice in this community is the creation furson (English. Fursona from Persona - Mask) - anthropomorphic image of an animal or avatar. More than 95% of representatives have anthropomorphic avatar or their image. For many Furri Furson have personal significance, representing a meaningful representation of the ideal. Furri can portray their Furson on their own, or order an image of a furry artist, such orders are sometimes called commisisheans (from English. Commission - to give an order).

Furri use Furson as characters to participate in the sessions of the role-playing game on the Internet, multiplayer text computer games, web forums and in correspondence. The oldest multi-user world is "Furrymuck" (although it was preceded by BBS called The Beastie Board, in which the discussions often moved to the role-playing game). Another popular group furry game is "Furcadia".

Opinion of sociologists

The subculture of Furri is prevalent mainly in a youth environment, it can often perform a form of social adaptation, with a violated socialization process, the result of which is an attempt to socialize in closed communities, a sense of one's own exclusivity, care from reality, replaced by new social practices.

According to researchers, participation in subculture can also be a modification of totemism, personifying themselves with the image of the animal in order to borrow a certain set of psychological, social or physical qualities. For most young people, it is rather the possibility of incarnation of their creative potential in drawings, stories, modeling costumes and makeup and music.

Researchers noted that furry characters are represented mainly by predatory mammals (approximately 52% of catfish ( in the Russian anime culture they are called NEKO), 39% pins and 9% of other predators). There are also hoofs and other mammals, birds; Relatively rarely appear reptiles and amphibians. Feline characters are represented by lions, less often with tigers, chepads, leopards, jaguars, panthers, cats and lysy. Doggy characters are predominantly foxes and wolves.

Sociologist A. A. Chibur expresses the opinion that the presence of predators in Furri-Arth is probably due to the subconscious search for an imaginary patron at the ancient peoples (TOTMOMIS) up to self-identification with him - an attempt to become more powerful through the image created on paper or in thoughts. The mechanism of the birth of the images of zooanthropomorphs at the modern representative of the subculture is not very different from the mechanism of the birth of images into the brain of the Paleolithic artist (Chibur, 2007).

A. A. Chibur makes the assumption that the subculture of Furri is archetypical thinking. A splash of interest in Zooanthropomorphs, he considers as a protective response to mythological thinking, to overcome modern social problems (alienation growth, morality crisis, religion, ecology, etc.) (Chuburn, 2009).

Leon since childhood was interested in animals - It began at all at a young age after the cartoons "King Lion", "Spirit" and "Balto". He painted them a lot - all toys at home were also in the form of animals. Then it was Anime "Legend of Silver Fang Whid" about dogs. "I communicated with people on the Internet, drew fan art. Then I already knew about Furri, but it was indifferent until I saw Fursiuta in one park. At first, this fand shake me strange and expensive, but somehow went, and recently I completed my seventh costume, "says Leon.

Leon - Furri (from English "FUR", fur), that is, loves anthropomorphic animals - those that behave like people. Talking animals are familiar to us from the times of Ezop, what to talk about "Disney". Nevertheless, the appearance of subcultures is usually referred to by the 70th and the first underground zinam, which did not create an improved version of Mickey Mouse, and offered their own view on humanoid animals. Fandom historians Octavia Wulf and Fred paten tie his appearance with the publishing house Votie and the Omaha, Cat-dancer comic. "Outdoor said about sex between anthropomorphic animals.

However, the word "furry" began to gain popularity after the global convention of science fiction in 1980, where they discussed the first character from the future comic "Albedo Anthropomorphics" - an anthropomorphic cat, which serves in alien troops. Since then, Furri was only gained popularity: in the early 90s, the first conversion was already passed, and the appearance of broadband Internet helped the subculture to grow on the whole world. In essence, Furri is not much different from representatives of other fandoms (lovers of science fiction or anime) - the truth, most often they prefer the genre of "Original", where the character needs to be invented independently, and not take ready-made pop culture.

Fursyuts and Furson

"People often come to the gatherings without costumes, and they are not so little. Not everyone has money, and someone does not want to change clothes for their reasons, "says Leon. Most often, we think about Fandom Representatives as people in Fursight, that is, animal costumes, but their minority. According to the results of the interdisciplinary "international anthropomorphic study", the costume is only 20% of people in the fandom. Ivan, Furri with a two-year experience, says that ordering Foursuit in a decent Russian workshop will cost a minimum of a thousand dollars.

Furson - A unique anthropomorphic animal with which Furri associates itself, simply speaking, Alter Ego. Fandom participants think of all the little things about their Furson - from the color of the eyes to character

"It is difficult, it is expensive. One head costs twenty thousand rubles, and this is still very cheap. Russia earn less than in the West, and we are accustomed to low cost. Although in the United States to give two and a half thousand dollars for Fursuit, it is absolutely normal, "says Leon. Ernst, in the fandome for four years, explains that for a good Fursuit, even its own production will have to wait and well pay: "The basis for a suit is at least twelve thousand rubles. Plus, it is necessary to understand that the Russian fur is a safe cat, and American dear. One delivery will cost no less than two thousand rubles. " Because of the high cost of workshops, many Furri make costumes themselves, however, they recognize that it is not very simple. "Sometimes it seems to me that Fursuit makers are gods. These are very talented people, "Ernst believes.

The costume is usually sewn, copying the customer's "Furson" - a fictional fluffy alter ego, in which appearance, and character. Ernst says that the development of Furson is the opportunity to choose a new personality: "A person cannot change his character or floor, while here you are led by yourself like plasticine. Here I feel like a punk rocker with the source, green eyes and black hair, but in reality I look absolutely different. "

How often to use your Furson - everyone decides himself. Ernst puts on a suit when he feels sad and evil, and only the collar is wearing in an ordinary life. Mila often puts the costume for a walk, goes around the house - it can even fall asleep in it. "A couple of times I came to study in Fursuit - reacted funny. But it is so, once everybody. In general, I like to go to concerts, but in general it is dangerous for a costume and can be hot. I don't do it like that, but I know Furri, who in everyday life wearing tail or gloves, "says Leon.

Yiff and sex costumes

Ernst and other Furster told us that they almost never came across aggression on the street. Furri love children - True, sometimes they twitch too much for the tail or ears, which threatens the costume. "My favorite audience is district alkashi, they perfectly take my suite. They are the coolest, "says Ernst. True, it does not mean that on the Internet and media everyone thinks the same way. Since Furri has become noticeable in the West, the first attempts to explore them were at least unsuccessful.

Who are Furri: subculture, self-identification, behavior.

Furri.Otherwise ferri (from English. furry - fluffy coated fur) - This is a subculture that combines people, one way or another interested in anthropomorphic animals in visual arts, animation, fiction and design. A feature of the subculture is the desire of its representatives to the embodiment of the image of an anthropomorphic animal in creativity or in itself, by identifying it.

Anthropomorphic animals are fabulous animals, that is, fictional creatures, combining the qualities of a person and an animal in both anatomical and behavioral plan.

Human qualities are endowed, mostly predatory mammals - lions, cheetahs, foxes, wolves, as well as rodents. But there are and homemade cats and dogs. These animals are covered with fur, so in the English-language part of the subculture they were called "fluffy" or "fluffy" (Furries). This word was given and determined the name of the subculture.

The subculture of Furry is closely related to the communities of the fans of Disney and Prejenyev's animation: "King Lion", "Chip and Dale", "Barshie Gammy", "The Secret of Rats". It is in Disney animation that the anthropomorphic animal comes to life full, acquiring certain traits of a person, becoming kind or evil, cowardly or brave.

Furry subculture feature is the self-defining part of its representatives with anthropomorphic animals, which manifests itself as the desire to resemble the animal outwardly and behaviorally and, possibly, in the form of preference to draw a certain type of (species) of animals. Thus, the consciousness of the Furré can form a certain ideal of appearance, behavior and peaceogenous, embodied in the image of anthropomorphic beings.

The furs, depending on the degree of passionateness, secondary features can be manifested - openness, sincerity, friendliness, guilty and positive interest in themselves like. Interestingly, these features are often interpreted by some furs as unique differences between their ordinary and as qualities inherent in the entire community as a whole. However, this is not consistent with reality - as in any time of the extensive community of people, some furry can put themselves aside from the community, be closed, unfriendly and aggressive, but at the same time not less than other furs love anthropomorphic animals, draw them and Identify with them.


For that part of the furray, which retains communication with the community, is characterized by the formation of a special furry lifestyle, which, again, is characterized by the most trusted and warm relations to itself similar, participation in joint events, meetings, campaigns. In Russia, since 2001, the meetings of Russian-speaking furs (the so-called "confiscation" or "Rusphurrenition" are held annually. American and European Furry communities spend charitable exhibitions of Furry Art and the so-called Fursuit (animal costumes).

Dragonship.

Dragonship, otherwise the dragon (eng. DRACONITY) is a concept that means the condition of being a dragon, dragon-shaped, or similar dragon. This word from slang subculture, whose representatives feel like dragons in role-playing games; Also used in slang fans Furri.

The rapid flow of dragons and the emergence of a variety of dragons in role-playing games has become a reason for the concern of the oldest representatives of dragon virtual communities. They fear that this contributes to the dissolution of the "genuine" dragons in the total mass and discredits the subculture as a whole.

Usually, the dragon self-consciousness is based on his own understanding of the Being of the Dragon, that is, the feature that dragons found in themselves in the process of self-knowledge. It is important to note that the idea of \u200b\u200bthe "ideal dragon" differ greatly from different individuals and can be very different from traditional ideas. But sometimes dragons identify themselves in accordance with the mythological ideas about dragons in the West or East (Europe or China).
The life of the dragon community, mainly occurs on the network, and the thematic meetings of dragons, usually referred to as tears - in various places around the world.

Dragons possess individuality and, in particular, in various characters. Some represent dragons as noble, wise, intellectual creatures, while others characterize them as repulsive, stupid, aggressive monsters. Both of these characteristics are true for some Dragon subset. It is impossible to determine the only thing that makes someone a dragon. There were attempts to allocate some major set of qualities that are characteristic of all dragons. The appearance and character of the dragon is a popular topic of discussion on the community forums. But the universal set of qualities suitable for all dragons is not yet defined.
Many of the dragons first realized their dragonfly, being involved in a more extensive community, known as the subculture of Furri - the association of people who are somehow passionate about anthropomorphic animals, or identify themselves with them. The dragons relate to Furri as anthropomorphic creatures, that is, having human qualities and inhuman form (regardless of whether they are covered with fur or not).
An unambiguous answer to the question "Are the dragons to the subset of Furnry phenomenon?" not. Often, on the basis of subjective ideas about morality, morality, intelligence, self-consciousness, worldview and behavior, some dragons, the phenomenon of dragonfly is carried out in a separate class of phenomena and in one degree or another is opposed to Furry. However, this position should not be considered the only correct, since the ideas about the cultural idea of \u200b\u200bFurry can vary in the same wide range as the ideas about the cultural ideal of the dragon. In fact, the only significant difference in Furry from dragonfly is the form of an anthropomorphic creature. The dragon may well exist in the framework of the Furry movement and consider himself to be his representative, not bringing additional entities.

Like the term teriantropic , you can form a similar term danchatrop (eng. dracaanthrope), which can more accurately designate the dragon in the human body. However, this term is practically not used in the dragon medium. The reason for this is the existing negative experience of attempts to renaming and branching a new community on the basis of a "bad reputation" of the present. "We are dragons, how can we be called?" - approved by some representatives of the movement. Thus, the introduction of a new term Duancratrop into the use of a new term is a potential source of "elitism of the title", which does not contribute to the structure of the community and not solving the problems of existing ones.

Yiff

Yiff (yiff., IFF) - eufhemistic (that is, a congestive) name for the image of a sexual intercourse between human-like creatures, as well as drawings with portraits of genital organs of human-like creatures, often pornographic nature, unlike Furri graphics in general, which may not wear any erotic subtext. This is a word from the slang used by the Furry community.

The word is a sound resistance and similar pronounced foxes of the sounds published during the marital games. In his English spelling (YIFF), the word is similar to the sound-powered Scottish verb Yaff, meaning barking, busting, squeal.
For example, the expression "Yiffs Furri" means in the slang fans of Furri - "Fluffy, soft manoid character who excites someone," or, the phrase "yifly drawing" is an erotic drawing, more often an anthropomorphic animal, and so on.
