Topic: Not_Furry not used enough, Feral is over-broad and Anthro is vague

Wodahseht said:
Furry here doesn't really mean "of general interest to furries" here. It means the individual/creature is at least somewhat animalistic in nature.

Elf -> not furry
Goo -> not furry
Lizard creature -> furry
RL cat -> furry

Check out not_furry wiki for categorization.

Feral just means a body form equivalent to the real-world creature. Which would obviously also include the real-world creature. In the picture you posted it is for the horse since it's got default body (what we see of it).

I don't think any part of what you said I disagree with. Others in this forum say its for posts that are not of interest to Furries. I disagree.
I agree with the usage of Feral on this site but it has the implication of including non-Furry characters that is what this thread is about.

Example of zoo that is furry:
post #605201

attempt at distinguishing: feral -human -anthro_on_feral
still includes these:
post #867951 post #101582
and would exclude these:
post #529806

Body type tags might help along with proper use of "realistic"/real only because those can cut away more at not Furry. But its heuristic at best.
