You said a “humanpup is a furry.”

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies furries, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls humanpups furries. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

If you’re saying “furry family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Pheggodae, which includes things from anthromorphic cats to blue cats to dragons.

So your reasoning for calling a humanpup a furry is because random people “call the masked ones furries?” Let’s get humancats and humanbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an dog? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A humanpup is a humanpup and a member of the furry family. But that’s not what you said. You said a humanpup is a furry, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the furry family furries, which means you’d call blue humanpups, humandalmatians, and other humanpups furries, too. Which you said you don’t.

It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
