Furries are people who enjoy dressing in costumes of anthropomorphic animal characters. Some of the characters are from anime or other cartoons. Many furries have created personal characters, also known as fursona(s). These characters can represent many things, such as their interests, a spiritual guide, or things they find attractive or perhaps an alternative version of themselves. During the mid-1980s, furries as a group or "subculture" grew out of science fiction fandom communities to having their own conventions in 1989. The media has portrayed furries as group with a sexual fetish for furry costumes however this is not a complete or accurate depiction of what furries culture entails. Furries describe themselves as fans, artists, writers, gamers, and role players. Furries are a extremely diverse community and there is not a "typical furry". As a whole, the fury community is made up of a number of different sub-cultures, some of which do have a sexual element to them. Group demographics
