| 1 | '''''The [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Furry]]-O-Meter:''''' |
| 2 | * 4 -- '''[=SuperFur=]'''. Includes those who get quite in touch with their animal side, building their life around it or [[UsefulNotes/{{Otherkin}} wanting to be their fursona instead of human]]. Much of their identity is based around their fursona, and they go to every convention. |
| 3 | * 3 -- '''Regular Furry'''. Loves to roleplay, has a fursona, commissions art and stories, attends cons, haunts the websites, has a fursuit, and is generally passionate about the furry world. May or may not have an anthropomorphism fetish. |
| 4 | * 2 -- '''Honorary Furry Fan'''. Feels comfortable around them and appreciates their works, but does not cosplay, wear a fursuit, or attend conventions. They are generally willing to participate in online communities, provided that they can remain somewhat anonymous. Might have a fursona, but may hardly use it, perhaps only in the occasional roleplay setting. Many furries that reach 3 or 4 on this scale start here for a time, while they "dip their toes" in the fandom and decide whether or not they want to get more involved and embrace the fandom as part of their identity. |
| 5 | * 1 -- '''The Tangentially Related Artist'''. Has a non-fandom rationale behind featuring anthro characters in their works, either because FurriesAreEasierToDraw, they like [[TalkingAnimal Talking Animals]], they enjoy a work that happens to be PopularWithFurries, or because they simply want to draw {{fanservice}} that simply happens to be furry, which they see as being no different to regular fanservice. May still appreciate their attention and be friends with some members. |
| 6 | * 0 -- '''The Neutral'''. Unsure of their relationship to the Fandom, or just indifferent to them. |
| 7 | * -1 -- '''The [[FanNickname "Mundane"]]'''. [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday Definitely]] not a furry, but doesn't tend to mind them, except for those approaching type 4. |
| 8 | * -2 -- '''The Mildly {{Squick}}ed.''' A little uncomfortable around furries and may ask them to keep to themselves. Still capable of civility, and may even call people at -3 or -4 out for their behavior. |
| 9 | * -3 -- '''[[FanHater True Anti-Furry]]'''. Generally has a NotInMyBackYard attitude towards furries and wants them off their [[TheBully forums]]/[[LackOfEmpathy chatrooms]]/other regular haunts so they don't have to deal with them. |
| 10 | * -4 -- '''[[HateDumb SuperAnti-Fur]]'''. Committed blind basher incapable of being reasoned with. Unlike the previous category, the [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence mere existence]] of furries seems to enrage them, causing them to actively seek furries out and [[TheBully harass them]], or otherwise post malicious comments about them at every opportunity. They might even oppose anthropomorphic animals in general because they see them as being inherently connected to furries. |
