Furry culture is a subculture centered around an interest in anthropomorphic animals—animals with human traits, such as walking on two legs or speaking. Participants, known as "furries," often create and share artwork, stories, and costumes (called fursuits) that depict these characters. The community is diverse, encompassing various interests, including art, writing, and role-playing. Furry conventions are popular events where furries gather to celebrate their shared interests. These conventions often feature panels, workshops, and social activities, allowing attendees to connect with others who share their passion. The culture promotes creativity, self-expression, and a sense of belonging among its members.
