Further Confusion is among the largest international traditions celebrating anthropomorphism in all of its guises. With the attendance of over 3,000 and growing, it is one of the premiere events of its kind. Further Confusion includes charitable benefits, educational conferences, art displays, panels and overall social activities. This was the first event sponsored by Anthropomorphic Arts and Education Inc. and has been its biggest.
"Furry" is a colloquial term used to describe a particular category of fictional animal. A Furry creature is anthropomorphic, where human and animal characteristics are both present. It can be physical, mental or both. They can be funny or serious. Usage of the term furry is restricted almost exclusively to members of Furry Fandom or other ethnic groups aware of furry fandom. The expression Furry is also occasionally utilized to refer to lovers of their arts arts. Such artwork range widely and include animators, illustrators, filmmakers, costume designers and performers, actors, voice talent, literary authors and songwriters.
Within the approved use of"furry", Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse are"funny creatures:" they're anthropomorphic, mostly behave like people, and can furry art be regarded as the animation equivalent of character actors. On the flip side, Usagi Yojimbo, Omaha the Cat Dancer, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are furries (even though turtles do not have fur). They're generally more"realistic" in appearance than the humorous animals and act more like crosses between humans and animals. They are sapient and equally as much"individuals" as any fictional character, but they aren't presented as critters for laughs.
By way of example, the bunny characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down are sentient and speak to each other, but their behavior and psychology is quite closely derived from that detected in real-life rabbits. Other furries aren't so closely tied to their animal sides, but there's always some amount of serious consideration given for this.
