@ wikia. Well, you can indeed set up the definiion in such a way, but you can't  expect people to agree to it, simply because it is way, way too broad. For example this is by your definition a furry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_anthropomorphism  Now with reagrds to the face, well, the reason is, at least for me, that haveing a animal-like face as opposed to a human-like is the line which stops any possible doubt on whether or not the char in question is a furry and simualteniously  it is something I personally find unattractive to the point of killing any interest in the character.

@Party: while I can kind of agree with the definition you give I have to object to the claim that most mg's were animals in both KC' world, and in the real world mythology.

First I am going to state right out that the reference to the "lower species" is BS as far as I an concerned, because the "great chain of being" which is where the idea originates from has been disproven pretty much since Darwin. As such we need another criterion for what make a mythical creature an animal and thus it's MG version a furry. So if we look at it, all of a sudden centaurs are not furry because they were sentient race in the original myths, harpies are very questionable, considering their origin as sort of divine punishment, mermaids tend to be potrayed as sentient as well, Japanese youkai are also mostly sentient in the original mythology. Werewolves(and by analogy other were-somethings)  are usually humans with curse on them rather that animals. Lizardmen in the form given in the setting(that as far as  I am aware originates with D&D) are sentient beings from the get-go, arachne rips of driders which start as divine punishment and then become (in D&D)a blessing, dragons being sentient goes as far back as edda, and is a most common portrayal in modern fiction etc.

Additionally, I do not agree that any mix of human and animal characteristics in one character immediately makes it a furry. If the char has only a couple animal characteristics i.e. Ears and tail but is otherwise human in appearance(10% or kemonomimi), the character is not actually a furry, on the account of well, not being furry(as in covered in fur).
