>The characters are still anthros, period.
And? Do you consider pic related a furry also? Walking around on two feet doesn't make something furry. Again, your entire perception is skewed, I guess because you weren't around back when "furries" were a specific sub-culture that orbited around a specific visual style and not some generic tag thrown around by underage children.
>Sonic fans pretending they're not furries
There are definitely Sonic fans who are furries, but Sonic himself is not a "furry" character. He's too cartoonish.
