Is it normal to be a furry?
I've been a furry (fan of anthropomorphic animals) for a few years now, and I even had those feelings since childhood. I loved Sonic, Animal Crossing and other anthro-animal based media. I also drew anthro characters in my spare time. Since I've been more vocal about my hobby, I've been receiving a LOT of backlash. (Kys furfag, dogfucker, degenerate, etc.) Is this not a normal hobby? Why do people criticize me so harshly for it?
EDIT: I am not part of the sexual side of the fandom. I do not make furry porn nor do I yiff. To me, it's not a fetish.
