Meow and welcome! The RPI Furs are a social group focused on
creating lasting connections and bonds for individuals with a common
interest in anthropomorphic animals in media. This includes furries,
artists, mascot enthusiasts, therians, and more. Drawings, paintings,
animations, costumes (both cosplay and fursuits), music, and beyond --
if it includes anthropomorphic animals, it's something we're interested
in appreciating, discussing, and creating.
Events
If you want to meet other furries at RPI, we do movie nights, game nights,
and other fun events throughout the semester! Join us on Discord or Telegram
for event announcements!
What Are Furries?
This is community of diverse interests who come together to discuss and
appreciate media featuring anthropomorphic animals. You might think of the
characters in movies like Zootopia, with its metropolis of animals walking and
talking with each other. Alternatively, you might think of video game icons
like Sonic the Hedgehog, or even the rabbits whose adventures are chronicled
in the book Watership Down. This community includes fans, artists, writers,
cosplayers, gamers, role players, and more. There is no exact definition as to
what makes a furry, as so many people participate in so many different ways,
or what makes media furry instead of popular culture. In general, though, we
would define a furry as someone who both enjoys the idea of anthropomorphic
animals and describes themselves as a furry.
For more information about furries, including a robust body of scientific
research, we recommend Furscience, the public face of the International
Anthropomorphic Research Project (IARP). The IARP is a multidisciplinary team
of scientists studying the furry fandom via psychology, anthropology, and
sociology.
