    Just in case I get you right. I think you are confusing being a Furry with practising sodomy. As a Furry I can assure you, that this accounts for a very small subgroup that - at least I - tend to avoid. Sex is nice as long as everyone consents and is mentally able to consent.

    If I got you wrong please clarify what you meant. I don’t want to accuse you of anything ^-^

      Nah, I was under the incorrect impression that it was primarily/exclusively a sexual fetish. I still stand by my point because according to wikipedia it seems like sexualization is, at least, a major subculture within it, if not an outright majority.

        I do see your point (I think). On the other hand yiff has a wide range from humans with animal features (catgirls, cowgirls, …) up to the more hardcore furry porn. I for example would also say that I have “a minor sexual interest” but that interest does not include the real hardcore stuff.

        And with Furry content showing strongly humanified animals it is arguable how bad/harmful said fetish is. But I have to admit that I have too found myself questioning if a bit of yiff I had just seen was a bit too much, but where to draw the line is ultimately highly subjective.

        I still wouldn’t compare them to people that sexualize underage (anime) kids just from the matter of fact that kids exist irl whilst humanified beasts are just a product of imagination.

          This is not a fetish that I think is bad at all. Seems completely harmless to me, assuming it’s all consenting adults.

          I’m just pointing out that this is why I believe people view furries differently than mascots.
