Thanks for another PoV. The previous I got was that fursonas are pretty much closer to alien - that is with rationality on human level and full conscience of their actions yadda yadda - than to what we perceive as animals, and that quite a lot of furries don't go into the smut side of force. Also that ya guys are reportedly rabid when it comes to hunting down people who are actually zoophiliac in your fandom. Wouldn't surprise me if that were true, looking at how much reputational damage those cases can give you.
But even between that and your explanation I cannot help but feel kinda...off about this whole thing. There's no hate, mind you - the more I understand the fandom the more I am of "be and let be" approach but...
Man, no matter how you put it, at the end of the day it's animal looking character boinking human or another animal character and folks fapping to it. It is kinda yucky, even if I understand that perception is shifted within the fandom.
Nevertheless, hope folk will fuck off from attacking furries for being. ^^'
To reiterate the characters are representing human rational actors not animals. Its more adjacent to costume play.
Like I said, I do understand that. I just underline that for whoever who doesn't ask and judges by the cover, it looks how it looks.
