So.
During my recent foray into the all my furfagotty-tastic internet communities, I've been taking mental notes on all the different breeds of furries. I've tried to bring it down to a science, and I've whittled it down to five different classifications. Since deciding on these five, I've yet to come across a single subject that didn't fall into one of the five categories.
No offense intended to the owners of the example profiles, if they somehow manage to stumble upon this thread.
Type 1:
Someone who is interested in furry stuff/faps to it, but that is the extent of their interest. Type ones are rarely found in furry communities, and rarely seen with furry avatars elsewhere. One would not be able to tell these people are furries unless they go out and say so.
Type 2:
A fair balance. Type twos are typically in furry communities and make it noticable through their profiles, avatars, etc. but are not commonly outgoing or flamboyant about it, both in the communities and elsewhere. Twos are typically friendly and nice people, but not on an intense level like fours are. They are usually open to and accepting to all different breeds of the community.
Type 3:
Type threes have a similar level of involvement to Type 2, but with a much different mindset about it. Threes have a much more rough exterior, usually with a more "internet tough guy" attitude. They do not show much enjoyment in the whole thing, and instead come off as corrosive intead of friendly like a type 2 would. There isn't much to describe about these, but they're pretty common and very recognizable.
Type 4:
Type four is very similar to type five, with extreme infuences from type two. Fours are also very flamboyant and take their furriness everywhere they go, but instead of doing so through "furry pride meters" and such like a 5; they act excessively huggly to everyone everywhere they go, often to the point where it blurs their actual personality. Type fours are often seen forming short-lived relationships out of nowhere and talking as if they've been together for years, only to break up several days later. They are typically more into cute/feral artwork rather than anthropomorphic.
Type 5:
Your typical "furfag." Type fives shove their furriness in everyone's faces everywhere they go. They can be classified by joining copius amounts of furry groups, having furry pride signatures on forums, and shunning all types of furry art other than western drawn anthro. Type 5 is the extreme, and portrays the typical outside view of furries.
So, I challenge you to think of some random furfag you know and see if he/she fits nicely into one of these categories. If not please tell me, as I plan to keep refining the system.
I like to think I'm a 2, but I guess I'm not really in any place to say that.
