Furries

Furries are a subculture that are huge fans of and sometimes dress up as anthropomorphic animals. These people can do this for many reasons (most commonly socializing and artistic expression). 
Furries usually inhabit the Internet as a method of communication with other furries, as well as other social activities with furries including conventions, roleplays, and more. They are a closely knit community, but not one without their own issues.
A furry usually has a fursona, (which is basically an anthropomorphic animal persona) that they use as part of their their social identity. These fursonas can range from animalistic versions of themselves to completely different characters.
== Incidents in the community ==
=== William Afton controversy ===
In 1985, Furries were put under hot water by the media after one of their members killed 5 children and hid their bodies in the animatronics. Despite future child murders being connected to Afton, none of the investigators bothered to check if they actually got the right person in the prison. This was further escalated when Vanessa (one of the most popular members at the time) publicly defended William's actions. Despite the near universal criticism from the rest of the community, the public perceived her response as the consensus amongst furries. Vanessia claimed that her mind was controlled when she said it, but the public didn't take the ukulele apology as a real one. The outrage caused by this eventually led to the formation of the furry hunters.
=== The Furry Hunters ===
The Furry Hunters are a militia of space marines. The motive of each member varies between hatred and vengeance to watching an anti-furry meme compilation when they were 12. They kill furries on sight, innocent or not. They see the violence they commit as "ridding the world of cringe and bluepill".
=== Gamer vs. Furry wars ===
The Gamer vs. Furry war was a war that resulted in millions of casualties. Both sides were forced to participate in order to avoid getting killed by the other. The brawl raged from across the UnWorld. The war ended after a massive proportion of soldiers were drafted by both sides. The leaders of both the gamers and the furries decided to truce so that they don't have to spend years sorting out legal issues.
