Delving deeper, another argument you may run into is the literal definition of an anthropomorphic animal; an animal with human characteristics. This can be anything from being fully bipedal with hands and fingers, to just being as smart as a human. Series like HTTYD aren’t considered furry media because the dragons are just animals, if slightly more intelligent than your average creature. However books like Wings of Fire or Warrior Cats are considered furry media because all the cats and dragons are fully intelligent and think like humans do. But also keep in mind the furry community is just that; a community. You can’t really be a furry unless you believe your a furry, and you can still enjoy reading or watching stories with anthropomorphic animals and not be a furry, and that’s kind of where we reside.
