#is this a furry?? are anthro bugs furries???

[jayrockin]

What would a "fursona" look like for furries in different sophont societes? Like a human's fursona is an animal walking on two legs with two arms (even if the species wouldn't have them, like snakes) but with an animal head and tail. Also: what's the morality of having a fursona that's a sophont? What percentage of humans' fursona are based on "animals" from other planets?

To be clear. Furry subculture is specific to humans, and it's no longer really present in RttS's modern day because it's been centuries and the cultural context has shifted too much. Humans in RttS are about as likely to identify as furries/have "fursonas" as a human from 2025 is to identify as a Wandervogel. There are a few modern RttS subcultures and fandoms with a focus on humanoid animals, but they are as dandies are to hipsters, a comparable social pattern repeating in a different context. I can't say for certain if anything resembling furry culture exists in other sophonts, but if it does the vibes are gonna be quite different.

Animal-headed and mashup designs are fairly common for centaur and avian cultures like they are for humans, sometimes as monsters, or mythical beings and gods, or speculative fiction species. Bug ferrets are not big on "anthro"pomorphism and animal mashup designs tend to be exclusively a horror and monster trope. Appealing bug ferret "anthros" tend to have some minor unobtrusive feature tacked on to indicate their status (think catgirl ears and angel wings), or only a vocal or motor tic.

As for having a fursona of other sophont, I, hm. I think that exclusively within the context of this setting... where those sophonts actually exist as beings from other worlds with complex social histories and political relationships with other aliens... having a fursona of one is closer to race kinning or being a weeaboo than anything else. Cringe at best, insulting and harmful at worst. If you live in the RttS universe, I don't recommend doing this. Luckily, you don't, so you are safe from having to worry about appearing culturally insensitive to foreign nations of hexapods and wing-walking birds.
