Anthro Does Not Always Equal... — Description

What this stamp is trying to say is: all furry characters are anthropomorphic, but not all anthros are furry. Not all anthros are humanoid either.
E.G. Lion King or My Little Pony
I see too many people using anthro as a synonym of humanoid and/or furry and it bothers me.
While making something humanoid is a common way of making something anthropomorphic, it's not the only way. Anthropomorphism is also not only applicable to animals, it can be applied to objects, plants, weather, or anything else as long as the subject is non-human. That's all the base word means, giving human traits to something that is not human.
Yes, object show characters count as anthros. The Brave Little Toaster is also anthro.
