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.

    I'm surprised so many people have ranked this as not normal. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a passion, it might seem a bit random to me but there's nothing wrong with it.

      I think they ranked it as not normal because the read the title and assumed it was a sex thing like most "furries".

        But most furries aren't sexually attracted to furries, that's just a small percentage of furries.

    I personally have only heard of the sexual side of furry-ism, so perhaps, you should come up with a different name for it.

    Not normal but as you’re not yiffing I don’t see anything wrong with it. Carry on.

    Furries tend to blur the line between pretend, lifestyle and sexual practices. So to a normal person a furry is a pervert or a person who cant grow up.
