Hey BRG the SCA is:

Quote:
The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.

The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. Our "Known World" consists of 18 kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world. Members, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events which may feature tournaments, arts exhibits, classes, workshops, dancing, feasts, and more. Our "royalty" hold courts at which they recognize and honor members for their contributions to the group.

If you look for an article on the web entitled "My life as a furry" it's an interesting read, I would include the link but well it is not totally G rated There is quite a number of sub groups to this particular group and only a very small percentage of them are the one that the media seems to fixate on.

Men in rabbit suits and girls in tails and whiskers: cute and cuddly, or sexually perverse? The world of fur fandom is rich in nuance and contradiction. Not surprisingly, the media always seem to get it wrong.
Plushies, furries, plushophiles, fursuitophiles are other names used to describe them.
