Question

How do you refer to furries as a whole? I'm writing a story and I'm stumped. Here's what it is: There weren't any other ________ around. What do I put?

There weren't any other (furries) around. There weren't any other (people) around.

Answer 1

It depends on the context. You could simply say "furries", as well as "furs" and "anthros" (if you're referring to the characters themselves and not the people in the fandom), and if you're wanting to be humorous, you can throw in something like "furmanity" or "furrykind", although those wouldn't make as much sense in the context given.

Answer 2

People. It makes it more interesting compared to people because when you like animals, not having other furries around make it seem like you are bored and not interested in anyone. You could go off and say like since they weren't any humans/people around you could do something that shouldn't be frowned upon. Just some insight!
