Wouldn't that be the Egyptians or something like that?

AHAAHAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAHAAHHAAHAHAAHAA
no

Egyptians did not jack off to their gods

and Walt Disney however, had a passion for his fictional dr. Moreau-like animal-people

There doesn't need to be a sexual appeal integrated with the character for it to be a furry. That's an illusion borne of a dense jumble of horny internet junkies.

WD invented colon three

Calling the Egyptian gods and cynocephali and other classical animal-people furries is just an excuse from furries to make their shit look normal

The Egyptians believed in their gods, and worshipped them.

Furries draw furries because
A. they identify themselves with animalpeople
B. they jack off to animalpeople
C. they just like drawing it

The motive is completely diffirent

By that theory, if there are two guitarists, with great skill, but one does it for the music, and the other for money, then the latter one wouldn't actually be a guitarist because his motives are different, despite the fact that he plays guitar, fitting the description.

Although, this could be academic...wouldn't the furries be the people in the "fandom" and the characters would merely be the anthros? So this could be being looked at wrong by all [pointlessly] concerned parties.

So, Furryfandom is being obsessed with everything which slightly looks like an anthropomorphic animal?

Well that certainly doesn't mean that Egyptians invented "furry fandom".
They believed the gods could incarnate into animals, it's not that they were like "OH ANTHRO ANIMALS R SO AWESOME"
seriously

I suppose it was presumptuous of me to assume you didn't have a time machine so you could just go ask the Egyptians what they really thought. I apologize.

there ya go

A+++

Would LOL again.

You know I was thinking the same thing o_o.
