I'm sorry but thats not entirly true... and its a very ignorent thing to say its based on fetishism what so ever, even to the smallest degree. I know there was no malice in your comment (I don't think so anyway) but its really hard for me to see that even with good intentions. Sex has nothing to do with being a fur in any sort of way, its not even close to being part of the definition. There are some who are just into furry art and thats fine, call them what you will but by and large the fandom
is about the art. People who take it beyond that (roleplaying etc etc) are often normal sexualy.
There are however those who do practice sexual fetishes but that is not what makes someone furry, although to a small minority it is the biggest part to them. Most of the fandom try to seperate them from the rest of the community because of misconceptions (like this) placed on us as a whole. Furry fetishism exists, but don't get it mixed up with what makes someone a furry.
Best blanket description for those who want to know:

What a furry is, by the furry community: (please read, everyone)

I do however agree that its a shame anyone brought the subject up in the first place.
I'm extremely sorry for this post and I do apologise to the Lucario players. I second him as of yesterday and wanted to learn more about him so thats why I'm here. I just can't stand the misinformed spreading more misinformation.
By definition, a "furry" who doesn't partake in sexual fetishism is a "FURITAN".
The reason we try to split the fandom into separate pieces is because it's not fair that one side fo the fandom generates a negative image that transfers over to other parts that have nothing to do with that particular group.
For that reason, the different groups within the fandom exist: Furry, Anthro, Kemono and Misc. interest. Each relates to a different set of ethics and preferences.
Nobody will take this great art form seriously if one particular group drags it down for everybody else. For that reason, some anthro artists try to separate from that part.
But yes, now that most of this confusion is cleared up, we should go back on topic.
On Topic: While I did say earlier that Lucario players are generally defensive-minded, I didn't exactly mean the "total defense" mindset you often see associated with Acolyte-class characters in MMOPRGs. I think it's fitting for a Lucario player to try not to start fights, but to fight back fiercly when under attack, and as more pressure is applied.
I'm not maining Luc, but he is my "pet" character, as in the one I spend most my attention on. In Melee this was Mr. Game and Watch, but since he's awesome now, I'm turning my attention to Lucario.
Because like, I was one of the people who wanted him in the game since it was first announced. XD
Anyone remember the leak with Ness, Jigglypuff and Lucario? That was awesome.
