ugh why...

[kijib]

why is the main character a furry? you don't have to do this dev, it's not too late to change it and keep your dignity

[Merik72]

There are so many animal hybrid characters in the Hyperlight drifter universe. it would be strange if there weren't playable characters in that archetype, if there were to be several available playable characters

I don't think they are furry, they may be liked by furry tho, but from what i get a furry is not a character but simply someone interested in anthrophomorfic creatures this then based on how much someone is interested in them can get to the point that he possibly decides to create their own version of themselves as an anthromoporfic animal or even a costume, so it really depends overall and how much someone likes something.

Rayman, Sly Cooper and all the characters are not furry, they are simply anthropomorfic animals, even most of disney characters are anthropomorfic, you can like anthropomorfic characters and if that makes you a bit furry then i guess i am, but there are are also other aspects of being a furry which other people prefer to delve into because they enjoy it, some creates fursonas and costumes and such and that is another thing.
I simply love cool characters and using anthopomorfic characters is something that has been done from centuries to narrate stories even for children to convey messages, like aesop's fables

Rayman, Oddworld and so on, are not furry themself, they are anthropomorfic characters that you can like or not, i personally like them because they are cool simply as that,
Animals have been used to narrate stories for century, sometimes it is also a narrative tactic based on what story you want to narrate, feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
I think you can simply like anthropomorfic creatures without being a furry,depending on what we intend with the term furry, and characters are not furry, they are simply anthropomorfic characters.
Have a guud day :D

They are all furry by every conceivable definition of "furry" (Anthropomorphic character).
The character is an Anthro they're either Furry or Scalie.

From what i understood a furry is not an anthropomorphic character, but someone who likes anthromoporhic characters.
You can say " that character is furry" in the sense that he has a lot of of fur but that is that.

Being a Furry is being a part of a fandom, and liking anthropomorphic characters doesn't make you a furry unless you decides that it makes you a furry.
Anthropomorphic characters are just anthropomorphic characters, since they are not part of a fandom, they are just characters.

Maybe if it's a fursonas then it's a different thing since it is an anthropomorfic character made for a person that is a furry and part of the furry fandom.

Its both. I've been part of furry stuff for ages. Furries are furred anthro characters (which can include certain non-furred anthros, Scalies are scaled anthro characters.
Furries are also people who like furry characters, scalies are also people like scalie characters.

The names have double meanings. The rule of thumb is, is the character an anthropomorphic animal especially if they have a muzzle? Then its a furry or scalie or whatever.

Sly Cooper, and Carmelita Fox are 100% furry characters in every sense of the word.

yhea but i mean aren't anthro characters furries simply because they have fur ? A character is furry simply because it has furry, which is a way to say that he has a lot of fur, but being furry is another thing, characters aren't furry in the other sense, they are just furry characters meaning they have a lot of fur ?

I like anthro characters but i am not a furry, for being a furry you need to identify as part of a fandom, characters are simply characters they are not part of a fandom

You don't need to be a furry to like Anthro characters, but anthro characters are furries.

Furry (when not talking about the fandom) is simply shorthand for anthropomorphic character.

You don't need to be a furry to like Anthro characters, but anthro characters are furries.

I agree on the first but not on the second.
Furry is just a label you decide to put on things based on your perspectives, it's not like every anthro character is a furry per se, but if you see anthro characters as furry you can definitely classify them as such.
For me anthro characters are simply anthro characters.
These things are just labels and ways to categorize things and the perspective that you wish to use to categorize things is only yours.

If someone decides to create an anthro character and doesn't consider it a furry, it may be not considered a furry by the creator but maybe the furry fandom may consider it as one simply because the perspective being used by them is anthro = furry.

I have searched online and i have not read anywhere that anthro characters are furry, unless considered furry because they have lot of fur in an adjective way to describe them.

Even Lion king can be considered feral furry if we really want, but that it's just a label, i myself simply see him as anthropomorphic character since i don't use those labels and because anthro does not equal furry, anthro for me is already a good enough way to describe animals with human traits based on my perspective.

In a QnA, Alx confirmed that everybody in the hyper light universe is "some kind of humanoid animal", therefore, everybody has always been and always will be a furry.

Dude you're thinking too hard about it, its not that philosphical.

If the character is anthro and looks animalistic in some way its a furry or scalie. Its that simple.

bigger issue: no watermelon sized bahonkers. Dropped the game...

If you think furry degeneracy hasn't been forced into this you're in denial.

That is because we mashed up the terminology.
This is from wikifur: "The plural form of furry in all its contexts is furs or furries; the subjects of furry interest are also known as furries. Because people in the fandom tend to identify closely with their avatars (or fursonas), the word is often used to mean a group of furry characters in art or roleplay.

Cartoons and games
Interest in anthropomorphic animals and/or creatures can be as simple as the many popular furry cartoon characters, known as funny animals. These may include Bugs Bunny, Tony the Tiger, Sly Cooper, Star Fox, etc. However, someone who merely happens to like these characters is not necessarily a furry; the degree and nature of one's interest are relevant here.

Art and creativity
Some furs may be interested only in the creative aspects of the furry fandom. Furry content, both online and off, is easy to obtain, and available in vast amounts, and furs produce new works regularly. Furry artwork is also done by many non-furries as well in targeting the fandom. Others may disassociate themselves from the fandom and refer to themselves as funny animal artists. Furries may also enjoy role-playing a particular furry character or fursona, sometimes writing about this character or recording their online interactions for posterity."

Furry is a word that is used by the furry fandom and it obviously also part of the internet sub-culture, but the word "Furry" itself while it can be used to classify anthro characters based on your perspective and used a synonimous it does not necessarily equal those, it is just a word part of a culture.
Some artists may simple like create funny animals artwork and you based on your way to see things may refer to them as furry artwork while the artist himself is not making furry artwork, it is just something that is coincidentally part of it.

Still from wikifur: "A funny animal is typically an anthropomorphic bipedal being with such characteristics such as speaking in human languages or displaying facial expressions. Others may display a more feral look closer to their real life counterpart, but still displaying some humanoid mannerisms (human grasping via hands with thumbs or prehensility), or be completely animal looking, but with all possessing human sapience."

Anthro characters may be furry characters if you are part of that culture or use the word linked from that culture, but you can also use the word "funny animal" to classify them maybe especially if you are an artist and don't want to be associated with furry culture, if you are just someone that happens to like anthro characters it does not mean that you are a furry.

Overall the word can be used interchangebly as a synonymous if you really want in a way to describe something (which i guess it is the case now) because it is much easier and faster in some cases to communicate that way, but the word itself when used to refer intentions ( if you like this you are a furry, or this artist made furry characters and so on) may simply not be completely appropiate since you can make furry content simply by making anthro characters and you can like anthro characters without being a furry.
Some people maybe don't like their art be associated with a type of culture simply by existing because anthro characters are in all forms in all media simply because they are valid ways both in terms of visual and in narration to create stories.

If this game is obviously influenced by furry culture, so be it anyway, i just like cool character and anthro characters in general then it obviously depends if it is good.
But what i wrote before is possibly for other situations.

OP trolls in other game discussions as well, just ignore.

Too many insecure people trying to justify their interests to other people that they'll never physically come in contact with.
