Except that's not even close to the generally accepted definition of "furry." There was a good article written by the founder of Anthrocon...I'll have to try and find that again.
I don't think furries are any weirder than any other group, they just have a considerably worse rep because the major internet communities picked them as a target (not to mention numerous TV shows and such that fail to do any research). Some individuals deserve every bit of scorn that they get, naturally, but, again, that's no different than any other group. There are people in Anime circles who act like the stereotypical weeaboo faggot (ZOMG I HEART POCKY I EAT IT WHILE I WATCH NARUTO LOL ^^;), just as there are some furries who run around screaming "YIFF YIFF YIFF YIFF" with their dong dangling out of their Robin Hood fursuit. Stereotypes get made for a reason.
