I absolutely hate it when people call kemonomimi "furry".

[Dehps Sekrit]

I identify as a catboy myself and I hate that many people lump kemonomimi characters with anthropomorphic animals AKA furries. It makes me sick to my stomach and it really makes me feel bad. Seriously, what do I do?

There's no reason to be so pedantic.

I have no idea who that is lol

as someone who identifies as a catgirl, I don't have much of a problem with it. Maybe we're not quite 100% furries, but we're still on that spectrum. I do get how it would be annoying that everyone would assume that you are a full blown furry although I'm not exactly sure why it would make you sick to your stomach.

To be honest, I think we have more in common with full-blown furries than not. I'd like to know what your thoughts are though.

I mean we are different though, that's true to me Kemonomimi is really not my thing, but we also kind of have similarities yeah.

Well i mean Kemono and Kemonomimi are similar.

Cause, I myself don't really consider them (or even want to consider them) anthropomorphic animals, which are called "furries" as slang. (to describe the character, i already know furry also means enjoyer of anthros, but still)

It really does makes me feel sick that something like, say, the NEKOPARA characters or characters from anime games (such as Rabi-Ribi) was compared by people or deemed similar to alot of what you see at FurAffinity and other places

It's a very anime thing so objectively it's not what most peoples thinks.

You don't have to if you're wearing cat ears all the time.
