What is a furry
Furry could be said to be a lot of things, but above all, it’s a collection of people. People, with all of their differences and similarities, their overlapping sub-societies, their petty arguments and tangled relationships. The goal at [adjective][species] as a metafurry resource is to take a look at that from the inside (and maybe occasionally from the outside) and explore this jumble of a fandom.
The name [adjective][species] is a synecdoche, a way of expressing the whole of our weirdness through a smaller part of it. Our mascot is, accordingly, RandomWolf, rendered accurately in the banner by Floe.
