@me474: At the risk of getting political, furries get a bad rap because the 20% is what gets the exposure 100% of the time. It's the same thing the media does with bad cops and religious extremists: they report on the small minority of bad eggs vs the larger minority who are actually quite pleasant. Because of it, people get hard-wired into thinking "furries are sexual deviants" when it's really more like every day is Halloween for these people, minus the candy (sometimes).
Another reason for furries is that it's a subtle dig into their identity. It's a good outlet for some in the LGBT community who still feel oppressed for being what they are, but when you're a giant cartoon fox, it doesn't matter to anyone. Maybe it's more personal or maybe it's an artistic representation. Maybe it's a costume or, like red, it's just what you draw. Maybe it's just for fun or maybe it's a version of yourself. The reason is different per person.
But like red said, there's the other 20% or so that act like idiots and use it to express their carnal (aka "animal") desires. They do it for attention and unfortunately, that's exactly what they get, not thinking about the consequences of their actions. Or maybe they do and just don't care (hint: That's exactly why). These people like to cause problems and need to see the inside of a cell yesterday.
