DID is believing you have multiple people living inside of their system (their mind). Furries do not believe there is a cartoon character living inside of them.

The closest bridge between furry and DID is the tulpa community, which is more of an anime community generally.

>Heavens no. That would be absurd.

Absurd or not that's what DID is. DID used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder, but got renamed. A furry doesn't have multiple people living inside of them. They might RP as a character or characters, but if that is DID so is Dungeons and Dragons.

It's easy to misunderstand psychological disorders from a description, so I don't blame the confusion.
