Krystal = Delicious little hamburgers. Also a furry character.
Bowsette, Octolings, Squidlings = Not furries. Only have some small animal-like attributes.
this has actually been up for debate a lot and is constantly argued, the general agreement was that characters like bowsette were "eastern furry" (which is dumb imho) but it's argued about a lot, or was when I used to look into it anyways a few years ago
I'm personally on the side of "they aren't animal enough not everyone is a furry" but the opportunity presented itself to tease people and it was 11/10 worth
also you're actually really cool bork, like legit, I was kinda scared of you at first but you're legit
Whoa whoa whoa dolphins aren’t fish either, c’mon now
i'm torn between making a dumb joke and responding seriously but fuck it ill just respond seriously bc the joke wasn't that funny anyways
people don't put that much thought into it bc they just wanna fuck animal people and as long as they can easily find what they're looking for it's not really an issue (also dolphins are hot bc they're all rubbery and latex is
)
i'll also probably get called out by people hard in the fur community for saying fish fur but i'm not actually putting that much thought into it either, the only time there's actually a real debate is when someone posts like, when someone like bowsette gets popular and the art floods fur affinity and the Great Debate on What Is A Furry starts all over again and it's pretty funny
