Is Sonic a Furry?

Even if sonic fans won't embrace the furries, the furries will embrace sonic

[@Emammany]

I think Sonic fans refuse to think Sonic is a furry because of how cartoony he is. The same thing probably happens to a lesser degree to Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and allat

[@raye6624]

every sonic fans biggest fear is the answer to this question

[@Orange_Swirl]

Because they know the answer will be "yes."

[@TheSonicGuy40]

I say no immediately with no hesitation

[@Imout06]

@@Orange_Swirl actually it’s no you have to be human to be a furry Sonic is a fictional hedgehog (with style) and can’t be classified a furry if he was so are the cast of looney toons and Mickey Mouse which we know aren’t furries

​@@Imout06yeah, made by a human. Our fursonas are fictional too so it wouldn't change a thing.

Hi im ash (the person with the badly faded dyed blue hair). It was pretty fun participating in the interview

[@filipinosonicfan]

Sonic was intended to be a mascot for sega, but with the ever growing furry community because of the internet, sonic, i guess can be identified as a furry. He's an antropomorphic hedgehog. He can also be interpreted as a cartoon character like mickey or spongebob or bluey. But, that's always up to everyone since respecting beliefs is a thing.

[@M3lonplush]

Bro I had a argument online about it and the person said I’m autistic but I’m not

[@darthvader473]

Well techically, he is. Any anthropomorphic animal character with human characteristics are techically furries.

[@iamapokefanyt]

So you’re basically saying Mickey Mouse and bugs bunny are furries too

[@darthvader473]

@@iamapokefanyt Yeah, technically. 😂

[@CanaldoZenny]

Sonic characters are modeled after Felix the Cat. Do you consider Felix a furry? By definition he is, but he doesn't fit the mental image most people have about furries. Disney became the template for what a furry character is, and what doesn't fit that Disney mold gets sorted in this gray area. I think Sonic fans don't want to be associated with the Furry fandom because NSFW art is still taboo within the Sonic fandom.

[@seonssissi]

Not seeing anyone mention it but the person at 5:32 complimenting wallace’s sonic hat was SO cute

[@Trance88]

It really all depends on your understanding of what "Furry" means. Is it an all encompassing slang term for anthropomorphics, or is "Furry" a state of mind? In my opinion, Sonic is not a furry. "Furry" to me is, "a person who is a fan of anthropomorphics." Yes. Sonic is ANTHROPOMORPHIC animal, and a MAJOR gateway to the furry fandom, but he'd only be a furry if he was a fan of other anthropomorphic animals. His best friends are anthropomorphic animals, so... I guess that would make him a "fan" of certain anthros and furry in that sense but that's a bit of a stretch in my opinion.

[@Wyta_TidalHound]

The easiest way to knowing if someone is a furry or not, is simply to ask them this: Do they want to be a furry? If yes, congrats, they're a furry. If not? They're not a furry. Even if they make art of anthros or wear fursuits, there's plenty of people out there who would rather not associate themselves with the furry fandom despite liking similar stuff, and that's totally okay

[@lorelaimorace-kk1xz]

he is ANTHRO ANIMAL

[@Trance88]

Yes. Anthro animal. Not a "furry." Everyone keeps applying the term furry as meaning "anthro animal" which is completely incorrect. "Furry" is the pronoun given to those who enjoy anthropomorphic media and characters, not the characters and media itself.

[@thestickmansavioryt1941]

​@@Trance88 I thought a furry was someone who wears an anthro based fur suit, not someone simply interested in anthros.

[@AbnormalAbnorman]

My thoughts: If the likes of Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and Crash Bandicoot don't count as furries, then Sonic does not. If anyone, Mario would be the one whose a furry because he's the one who dresses up in a fursuit. And I say this as a fan of Mario. Edit: Then again, Mario doesn't do it as a hobby. He does it for a different purpose, in his case for using it's abilities to assist him in saving the princess, to differentiate his clones in races, and especially in Bowser's Fury when he obligatorily had to get into one in order to defeat Fury Bowser, in turn causing him to return back to normal Bowser, and allowing Mario to return home. If I were to count him, then theme park mascots would be furries too. So on second thought, Mario isn't a furry either.

[@Orange_Swirl]

What if I told you that I consider Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and Crash Bandicoot to be furries, too? What would you say then, bucko?

I mean, if you really think about it, using this thought process you could claim that the Donkey from Shrek is a furry, as he talks, something only humans are known to do to the extent and significance as he does, despite the fact he remains donkeyish in every other aspect. Edit: Also, feel free to correct me on this, as far as I am aware, a furry is a human being whom depicts themselves as an an anthropomorphic animal in some form as a hobby (a pfp, a fursuit, etc). Sonic isn't a human whom depicts himself as an anthropomorphic animal as a hobby, he IS an anthropomorphic animal. And not as a hobby, as far as I'm aware he was just kinda born like that in the lore. Feel free to correct me on that too. I'm pretty certain that's how it is, but I've always really been more of a Mario lore type of guy. Big fan of folks like Seandwalsh.

[@Orange_Swirl]

@AbnormalAbnorman I also consider anthropomorphic animals furries.

[@Kharivr]

I don't think he's really a furry I think he's more like a mutated hedgehog because in the movie you can see that he's from another planet

[@budget-27-koofy-63]

in my opinion, he is more of a mobian, and i kind of consider him to be a reverse furry, unlike actual furries, sonic did NOT choose to be one but was born into it, this is probably for the others, also he lacks a snout, has actual skin on some parts of his body, and he is more humanoid rather than animal like while furries want to be animal like, and did choose to be one. sonic in my opinion is just a mobian and probably a reverse furry.

[@baggelissonic]

Sonic is a furry but he doesn't possess the elements people dislike about furries. (At least in the franchise itself).

[@dabatman5187]

The real question is if Mickey Mouse is a furry

[@CottenVee]

Yes, he is. He is an animal that walks and talks. Yes.

[@muff1n36]

@@CottenVee Ahh, but no, he is really just an anthropomorphic character. Search the term up if you don't believe me and go back to your cocomelon.

[@Banettho]

​@@CottenVeenot all anthropomorphic characters are furry

[@soulver7]

Personally, I don’t think anthropomorphic character automatically means furry, since usually a furry at its core is about self expression, which is difficult to argue for when it’s made a by Japanese cooperation in the 80s designed to be the exact opposite of a particular human. If the furry community wants to use him as some mascot-esk character for themselves, all the power to them, but I don’t think that automatically means Sonic himself is a furry. Let alone his fans that don’t align with that label

[@herebybuu]

We all know when we google "is sonic a furry" we get no. And I strongly agree. Especially with the design, its too unique for the furry shit.

[@BL8DM8N]

I've always subconsciously thought of Sonic & friends as being anime characters moreso than furry characters, but I guess they're a combination of the two styles.

[@Ryuga1908]

I dont think he is a furry because he got spikes, tails is a furry, Big is a furry, Cream is a furry, blaze.... and team chaotix trio is a chad trio of non-furries. So, Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Amy, Knuckles Amy and team chaotix are not furries

[@Sunmonkey1234]

As a sonic fan I still don't think sonic is a furry. Sonic was not called as a furry back then. Sonic has been called a sonic video game character since 1991. I don't ever see sonic as a furry

Furries are cool but it cant be possible for sonic to be a furry when hes literally a furry blue hedgehog

[@thestickmansavioryt1941]

No A furry is someone who wears an animal suit and that's that. Sonic doesn't wear a thick sweaty blue suit, he IS a blue hedgehog. Ironically enough Mario is a furry, but Sonic isn't. Furries embrace Sonic because it's easy ownership from the link in anthro personnas. Sonic fans don't embrace furries because Sonic isn't a furry, and the idea of wearing a sweaty, 50 pound animal suit, for the sake of embracing your strange childhood isn't appealing. The answer is no.

[@TigerClaw305]

Sonic is a furry the same as the TMNT also being furry, No matter what, Any character that's an animal that walks on two legs, Is a furry regardless of how one looks at it.

From my experience i haven't considered sonic to be furry for quite some time until i just connected the dots. I think the reason why i didn't see sonic as furry was because i discovered Sonic before i discovered the furry fandom. But yes, Sonic is unquestionably furry

[@CurtRichy]

Yes

[@notshardforwork5502]

As someone who got into the furry fandom because of Sonic I feel seen here. Like the guy in my pfp rn would not exist if it weren't for sonic as he was originally a sonic OC. My first REAL exposure to my fondness of the character and series came from a couple gaming sessions with some old friends I used to have who had a DS and a copy of Sonic Rush on there. I loved how the game played and I loved how cool both Sonic and Blaze were. Blaze actually became my favorite character in the entire series and that's really how I came up with my guy when I eventually stumbled into the community online years later as a little teen who saw all these, in my opinion, cool lookin fan characters. Then it was all downhill from there, god help me :^) It's all still fun though, the games and the fandoms.

A furry is classified as a person who has romantic interest in or dresses up as an anthropomorphic animal

[@IAmOffended-Dk]

Correction: A furry is a person who has taken interest, romantic or not, to furries. It can be simply the interest to draw them, or the liking to the design. You don’t need a suit to be a furry.
