    Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.

    It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they’ve been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it’s getting more posts recently.

      That’s exactly how it is. Bullying LGBTQ+ is shunned upon these days, so bigots are redirecting their hatred to the next thing on the list they don’t understand, furries

    Anthro does not have to mean furry. You can still like them without being a furry

    Why are people acting like any animal based character is a furry? Did everyone forget about Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Cats Don’t Dance, Aristocats, Mickey Mouse, American Tale, The Secret of NIMH, Adventures from the Book of Virtues, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Oliver and Company, Lion King, Bambi, Chester Cheetah, The Great Mouse Detective, the Trix Rabbit, basically anything made for kids, old fables and folktales, etc feel free to add to the list

    None of this is new and it reminds me when people were losing their minds over actors playing different characters like it was a new thing

    It’s not a disease, you’re not gonna wanna start fucking Teddy bears just because you watched something made by or for furry fans.

      It’s kind of weird playing a furry made game like Dust and realizing the creator probably drew the fairy character getting fucked.

        This may be surprising to you and go against the common stereotype, but not all of them are into it for the porn. It’s just another fantasy genre.

        The extreme weirdos always get the most attention, because they’re extreme weirdos. Like when somebody is heavily into anime and people assume they also like hentai tentacle porn.
