[[File:Lavalavavixyvix.jpg|thumb|200px|Example of a Postfurry character -- a lavalamp vixen, created by [[Postvixen]] and illustrated by [[Egypt Urnash]].]]
'''Postfurry''' is a micro-movement within the [[furry community|furry subculture]] that uses the intellectual toolkit of '[[W:Postmodernism|postmodernism]]' to challenge, expand, and play with the definition of [[furry]]. It is strongly influenced by ideas from the [[Wikipedia:Cyberpunk|cyberpunk]] or postcyberpunk approach, [[Wikipedia:Magic realism|magical realism]], [[Wikipedia:Postgenderism|postgenderism]] and [[Wikipedia:Post-structuralism|post-structuralism]] movements, as well as "other things that draw those with an interest in a cyberpunk or postcyberpunk aesthetics to postfurry beyond just the transhumanist leanings, and ditto with magical realism and postmodernism." <ref>Drab Makyo, "On Postfurry", http://adjectivespecies.com/2015/06/17/on-postfurry/</ref>

== History ==

Postfurry coalesced in the early 2000s around [[Postvixen]], [[Egypt Urnash]], and [[Postrodent]], who are responsible for naming it.{{fact}} It primarily expanded through their social circle via [[LiveJournal]], [[Fur Affinity]], and [[MUCK]]s. It underwent acrimonious debate about the meaning of the term,{{fact}} and by 2010 it had settled into being a loose group of creators, [[W:Tropes|tropes]], and themes all producing work that could be identified as postfurry, without identifying ''itself'' as such.

The tropes in question tend to blend [[animal]], [[human]], and mechanical forms: [[science-fiction]] tropes of mechanical personhood are often used, as well as visual puns (for example, a "phonogriff" character with strategically placed woofers and tweeters). Sexual content in postfurry is strongly influenced by latex [[fetish]]ism, [[hypnosis]], [[transformation]], [[W:Robot fetishism|robot fetishism]], and [[xenophilia]]. Postfurry content in general is preoccupied with questions of personhood, [[gender]], the future, and the mind, and it tends to approach these questions in optimistic, sex-positive, and self-consciously experimental ways.

Postfurry is commonly associated with cyberpunk/postcyberpunk and [[Wikipedia:Transhuman|transhumanist]] science fiction, but it is also influenced by psychedelia, rave aesthetics, anarchist philosophy, [[Wikipedia:Retro-futurism|retro-futurism]], and [[Wikipedia:Post-structuralism|post-structuralism]].

Postfurry [[role-play]] and [[fiction]] often takes a postmodernist view on culture and reality, especially in testing the boundaries of what constitutes a "real furry." Postfurry characters are usually linked to their supposed [[species]] only in a symbolic way that may have nothing at all to do with real-world zoology.

== Artists with postfurry-themed work ==

Not all of these artists are self-consciously postfurry: rather, these are artists that postfurries themselves draw inspiration from or whose work often displays postfurry themes.

* [[Egypt Urnash]]
* [[Turbine Divinity]]
* [[Nek0gami]]
* [[W:Michael Manning|Michael Manning]]
* [[W:Jean Giraud|Jean Giraud (Mœbius)]]
