This is what I scored:

The Lost Furry
Your furry score is 33%!
You might be furry, you might not be furry. You know almost nothing about the furry culture. Do some web searching for "furry", "yiffy", and "anthropomorphic." Afterwards, come back and take the test again.

How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 52% on FurPoints

If you liked my test, send it to your friends!

I found the test rather annoying, myself. Inaccurate and QUITE partial. But that's just myself.
This is what I'd have liked to score:

The Ex-Furry
Your furry score is -78%!
You were furry once, and then you got disappointed 'cause you were interested on anthropomorphics, not in kinky fursuit sex or SPH on stuffed animals. You know way too much about furry fandom, that's why you prefer NOT to be furry. Do some web searching on CYD. Afterwards, come back and take the test again.

You scored higher than 2% on FurPoints

One of these days, I'm gonna create a test myself.

What does anthropomorphic mean?
Attributing animals with human characteristics.

Uh, no.

Let's look it up! Bolding mine.

Attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to inanimate objects, animals, or natural phenomena.

Yes, animals is in in fact in there, but is that the definition? No. I mean, The Brave Little Toaster is anthropomorphic but certainly not furry. :P

I scored the same thing as m_estrugo, which is bullshit.

Here's what you get if you score 100%:

Yay! You're a furry. You probably didnt need me to tell you though. I'd like to chat with you fellow furry, check my profile and IM me.

Gee, no wonder the test is inaccurate.

No, I think the problem is that I know more about furry culture than the test author would like to admit. If the intent was to shoot down all those claims that the fandom is all about sex, actively making over half the questions about sex is kind of self-defeating.

What answer on the fursuit sex question gets you 100%?

At least by asking people to search yiffy they'll figure out right away it's not a harmless little fandom of people who like cartoon animals.

You are pretty darn furry. Furrier than most people anyway. You should explore the furry culture a little more since you obviousy have some interest in it already.

You scored higher than 65% on FurPoints

I have no personal stake in furry stuff, but when your best friend is one of the most sought-after/reviled artists in furry culture ('sup Micah? I'll see you Saturday), of course you're going to learn something about the moist stinky underbelly of furry. I don't think it makes me yiffy-by-association, however.

The quiz itself comes across as a desperate effort to swell the ranks of furrydom. "OMG, you watch Looney Tunes and you're not ten? YOU ARE SUCH A FURRY!!!" I guess that makes my dad furry. He also liked Count Duckula, too. Outed!

m_estrugo · Vociferator Joined: 13 Nov 2003 Posts: 534

Well, yeah. It's decided. I'm going to do a longer, more accurate test later, and am going to try to differ between those kinds of people:

- Not interested on anthropomorphics

- Funny animal fan

- Anthropomorphics fan

- Furry fan

I guess I know enough to tell the difference between those collectives.

I got a 41%, that test sucks, specially the the whole "do you watch looney toons if your over 10" or whatever. That's just stupid since looney toons were geared towards adults and kids. It should have been a seperate question if you watch rescure rangers or the like, cuz those shows have no apeal to adults unless you really want to fuck gadget.

What does anthropomorphic mean?
Attributing animals with human characteristics.

Uh, no.

Oh my YES. The word anthropomorphic literally means "in the image of man". When my bleeding-heart-liberal history professor was struggling to spell it correctly on the board, I had to bite my lip to not say anything.

Quite literally, Greek gods were the anthropomorphic ones. They were gods that looked like men. The Egyptian ones would be theriomorphic (I made that up, shoot me).

When someone calls a furry an 'anthro' it's very friggin' misleading, since that would literally translate as calling it a 'man'. Technically, it should be a synonym for human. Combine that with the fact that most furry works are humans in animal form instead of animals in human form... and it's precisley the wrong description.

Yeah, I've thought about that, too. Due to the inexplicable popularity of furry web comics, I kicked around the idea of doing a webcomic about a world where some animals wear humansuits and going to humancons. Luckily, I can't draw very well and I know it, so nobody will be plagued with that any time soon.

Uhm, no.

The complete Greek word to mean man/person/human is anthropos. From it, the "anthropo-" prefix used to mean human-related stuff, like anthropology, anthropometry, anthropomorphic...

"anthro" means nothing by itself, as it just stands as a contraction of a more complex word to be used on a casual way. It's just a neologism used by a few people (like yours truly) to name a special genre featured by anthropomorphized creatures.

English is a live language, and as such, it evolves, creates newer words or newer meanings to older words. For most of the English-speaking people out there, the word "furry" just means furlike or hairy, while for us it means something else.

But still "anthropomorphic" art just means that the subject looks like a human. It implies at no time that there is any animal aspect. The Brave Little Toaster is an anthropomorphized character, as mentioned. Now, in a field where most art is human based, saying yours is 'anthro' means nothing special. An anthropomorphized comic would imply that the layout of the panels itself is humanesque. You need the word 'animal' somewhere in there to denote that it involves anthropomorhized animals.

Hence, something like Ozy and Millie is an anthropomorphic animal comic, a funny animal comic or possibly even a furry one. Just calling it 'anthro' doesn't imply it has a fox and a wolf as its main characters.

As for English being an evolving language... That's just... ugh. That's an excuse used by people who don't understand proper diction. Tell someone that 'ignorant' means 'chosen stupidity' rather than 'rudeness' and they'll try pulling that existential English crap on you. Words all have a definition in dictionaries, and until 'yiff' gets its own entry and thusly ruins the credibility, those dictionaries will hold the end all authority on what means what.

Well, I know what you mean, but I still wouldn't say that. Being interested in language and information and all this. You have standardized language like you'd find in a dictionary or thats taught in classes.. but you also have dialects and slang and everything else thats just as valid , especially the more its used and how widespread it is. There is a lot of slang out there that evolves very fast with the culture around it (hell even technology and trade languages). And in some cases it would be very necessary to understand it to know whats going on or what people are talking about.

Its why I think, often, its more important how a word is actually used in reality than its dictionary definition (when there is a discrepency, or, if it even has a dictionary definition). Language is used to relay and recieve information, ultimately. So to me thats really the most important part - that that aspect is working - not the form. Yeah, ideally everyone would be on the same page all the time, but I don't see it as even being realistic. Theres always going to be physical regions and different social groups were words will have different meanings, or different levels of importance, or different words will be used entirely. So its always going to come down to understanding the context and the group using the words, even in the most basic sense. I would say most of the time its automatic, you can infer what someone is talking without even thinking about it, but its still happening.

AngryPuritan · Needs to get out more Joined: 15 Jan 2005 Posts: 1361

But under certain circumstances, word uses are just plain WRONG. "Ignorant" doesn't mean 'rude', unless you are ignorant yourself. "Furry" doesn't mean 'an innocent, unsexual, and perfectly respectable form of art practiced by well adjusted professionals'. "Up" doesn't mean 'towards the pull of gravity, downward'.

Certain things in language exceptions are not only wrong, they are the opposite of what the word really means. "Anthropomorphic" being interpreted as animal-like is a great example of this, since it actually means "in the image of man".

Hence, my whole point for e-arguing this so fervorously.

No youre right, Im just saying if, for example, 90% of people believe or feel otherwise, whats the point ?

Without trying to turn this whole thing in on itself: Try arguing furry fandom is purely about the plutonic appreciation of anthropomophic animals.. No matter how many FAQs get written , no matter how many balanced articles get written, no matter what it meant 10 years ago, no matter what the actual facts are -- theres too much shit out there to the contrary and even just public opinion and perception get in the way. Not that anyone in the real world cares enough, but at this point there would really need to be an onslaught of outright positively spun articles (to the point of being inaccurate) slamming the media to change that perception :)

Directly to the subject tho, M_estrugo nailed it, 'anthropo-' is technically the prefix you are refering to , "anthro" is the predominatly furry (and just general, as far people who follow web comics etc) abbreviation for the term/idea/concept/whatever -- Anthropomophic animals, anthropomorphized animals, or just "cartoon animals" -- whatever you want to call them. Its just more clique jargon. Not that Im looking down on the term at all...

Also, not refering to you or anyone at all specifically, but lately I'm beginning to notice the difficulty people on the internet tend to have with distinguishing things that occur on the internet almost exclusively with real life. Maybe its the type of people I hang out with, but if I ever want to express to anyone I know what type of cartoons, comics, and media I tend to enjoy -- I have to use phrases like "stuff with cartoon animals in it" or "surreal" and "fantasy", if I have to get very general.

I never said "anthropomorphic" is a word that applies only and exclusively animals. I was with Trista on this one:

What does anthropomorphic mean?
Attributing animals with human characteristics.
Uh, no.

while your immediate reply was

Oh my YES.

Anthropomorphic only means "human-like". I never ever said it applies ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY to furries, since it doesn't. It's a simple adjective.

I refer to "anthro" as a contraction of "anthropomorphic animals" or "anthropomorphic creatures" to mean something broader and including things and creatures other than animals, like vehicles, objects or even blood cells (like Osmosis Jones. And, honestly, I don't understand what's wrong with using neologisms when some other words are shrunk to a new word without anyone complaining.

The word "fax", for instance, is a contraction from "telefax", and this word is also a contraction from "telefacsimile" (from "tele", distance, and "facsimil", copy, literally "remoter copier"). However, since the "fax" word has its direct origin on "facsimile", it could apply to ANY device that makes copies of something, yet nobody says "I'm gonna make a fax of this paper" when they mean "I'm gonna photocopy this paper".

And nobody complains by the inaccuracy of the word "fax" on the strictest meaning of the world.

The Brave Little Toaster is an anthropomorphized character, as mentioned. Now, in a field where most art is human based, saying yours is 'anthro' means nothing special. An anthropomorphized comic would imply that the layout of the panels itself is humanesque. You need the word 'animal' somewhere in there to denote that it involves anthropomorhized animals.

Well, duh! You're assuming "anthro" is a contraction of the word "anthropomorphic". As I said before, it's a contraction of "anthropomorphized creature", at least to myself. Therefore, if I say a comic is "anthro", I really mean it's a comic featuring anthropomorphized creatures. Got it now?

As for English being an evolving language... That's just... ugh. That's an excuse used by people who don't understand proper diction.

Why, thank you very much. I guess you're saying the little collection of books about theory of language, semantics, semiotics and communication I've got and love to read are totally useless. I suppose you're saying my interest for semiology, rethorics and communication are just... ugh. So well expressed.

Tell someone that 'ignorant' means 'chosen stupidity' rather than 'rudeness' and they'll try pulling that existential English crap on you. Words all have a definition in dictionaries, and until 'yiff' gets its own entry and thusly ruins the credibility, those dictionaries will hold the end all authority on what means what.

Ignorant:
1. Lacking education or knowledge.
2. Showing or arising from a lack of education or knowledge: an ignorant mistake.
3. Unaware or uninformed.

Rude:
1.Relatively undeveloped; primitive: a rude and savage land; a rude agricultural implement.
2. a. Being in a crude, rough, unfinished condition: a rude thatched hut.
- b. Exhibiting a marked lack of skill or precision in work: rude crafts.
- c. In a natural, raw state: bales of rude cotton.
3. a. Lacking the graces and refinement of civilized life; uncouth.
- b. Lacking education or knowledge; unlearned.
- c. Ill-mannered; discourteous: rude behavior.
- d. Vigorous, robust, and sturdy.
- e. Abruptly and unpleasantly forceful: received a rude shock.

Estrugo... You're going to argue that you're shortening two words into one, and attacking third rail points to prove why if a mob says that 'July' is the first month of the year, that I should shun common sense and say DEMOCRACY WHOO and just join in celebrating a cold ass July.

Just go draw a furry. Then call it an anthro, or a funny animal, or a cartoon critter, or whatever, but just fucking draw it and knock yourself out. Next you'll be defending the legitimacy of 'tailhole' as a word.

All living languages shorten words or change their meaning ALL the time, and that's part of their evolution. That's something all linguists agree with.

The word "comic" originally started from "comic strips". Many comics aren't comical at all and nobody complains at the real meaning of the world. It's just a neologism that was first widely used by the public decades before it was recorded by academians and introduced on dictionaries.

The word "trekkies" is also a contraction of "Star Trek", and it's widely known and accepted as a way to call that series' fans even if the word sounds like a contraction of "trek", and nobody complains. Anyone within the geek groups know what a "trekkie" is, and even the Webster's new millennium dictionary of english includes that definition.

"Meme", "blog", "to google", "spam", "spyware" and many others are also Internet-related neologisms that spread and get popular (and sometimes outfaced) before academies have time to react. I've found at http://www.wordspy.com/ a list of current neologisms, still too recent to be included on any dictionary. Who knows, maybe in 25 years or so some of those words will appear on classic dictionaries.

Neologisms are abundant on fandoms, and trying to get too academical on them is a total waste of time, since it's the academies the ones that catch on after the term is widely known and used by general public.

And now, regarding the "anthropomorphized andimals" stuff, I wouldn't have any problem to call my creatures "furry" if there was a general agreement that "furry" means "anthropomorphized animals". However that definition isn't accurate, since both inside and outside the furry fandom many voices disagree with it.

I've called my stuff "funny animal" for a while, since it's characteristically cartoony and I use to narrate humorous stories with them, but am aware anthropomorphized animals can be used to narrate more complex and intrincate stories featuring characters with a deeper personalities and thus be used as a more sophisticated way of communication.

I thought furry fandom would eventually bring such stories featuring those creatures, but it got stuck way too much on sex at the point there's little else than sex on them at this point. However, both me and some other folks have faith that, eventually, more stuff like "Fritz the Cat", with its acidical satirization of the American society of the late 60s, or "Maus" and its crude, down-to-the-point narration of the Nazi holocaust as seen by a survivor would emerge. To make it different from simpler "funny animals" or lustful "furries", I call this peculiar style "anthropomorphic animals".

Or "anthro".

Any questions?

Trista · Prattler Joined: 30 May 2005 Posts: 156

Ack! I didn't mean to start all this quibbling over "anthro." Regardless of what that means to anyone, my initial post was simply about the fact that the quiz which in fact says that "anthropormorphic" means "attributing animals with human characteristics." It doesn't say simply "anthro" but rather "anthropomorphic" and changing the meaning of that word to refer exclusivly to animals would involve changing the opinion of writers and literary scholars who use the word to describe attribution of human traits to anything.

Regardless of what "anthro" really means, it's rarely used by itself outside of the furry fandom. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep it, so long as they leave changing the definition of "anthropomorphic" out of it.

Then again, if "anthro" is short for "anthropomorphic animals," why do I so often see phrases like "anthro animals," would that mean "anthropomorphic animals animals?" I'm a bit confused. Then again, it's not like people never say "ATM machine" which would of course "translate" to "automatic teller machine machine." ;)

And Estrugo, I use websites that officially use 'Anthro' to mean anthopormorphic animals or 'furries'. Like dA or AnthroArchives. It just doesn't mean I have to agree with the usage. Although, it was rather humorous to see someone from a Spanish speaking nation pulling out more English referrences than most native English speakers could.

I've always found the idea that a random quiz can determine exactly what you think through a few silly questions is ridiculous and a little insulting.

I mean, people aren't so shallow and dumb that one quiz could reveal every single opinion, stance and thoughts on something, especially something as drama filled and complicated as furry.

... aren't they?

For Halloween I dressed up in Deer and Coyote furs... ran around smacking deer horns together.

(I am really immature)

Does that make me a fur suiter?
