A furry fan is a fan; i.e. short for fanatic. I mean, a guy who likes one show about anthropomorphic animals enough to consider himself a fan(atically devoted follower) of that show and that show only is not the same as a guy who likes instances of cartoon animals enough to consider himself a fan(atically devoted follower) of all or most instances of anthropomorphic animals, in any media, even if he prefers the pony dolls stay pony dolls rather than be arbitrarily turned into Monster High dolls.
There is a difference between liking an instance of something and liking something in all instances; heck, there's a difference between liking something and being a fan of something. The latter implies a bit more devotion; if a guy can't fess up to being a furry fan in a completely consequence free, anonymous survey, can you really call him a furry fan?
On the other hand, if [adjective][species] has any say in the matter, you can actually dislike cartoon animals and still be a furry.
That's not fair, Sonious.
