Edit: would like to clarify that I don’t have anything against furries. But saying there isn’t a sexual aspect about it, is not true.
I have a few furry friends as well, and they all are into the sexual aspect of it, one used to be a roommate, I always got a chuckle out of the animal noises they would make when having sex.
The sample they used is likely not representative of the whole fandom; they only interviewed 334 furries in the study, from a fandom made of millions of people. And the participants were all male, too.
…I can’t be the only one who actually reads these things, right?
OK but that’s very, very fucking different from saying that furries are attracted to animals like you originally said, and that’s what is really fucking offensive, especially considering that pretty much anyone who gets outed as an actual zoophile is swiftly exiled from the furry fandom
Hey, is there some reason you changed the phrase that the researchers very consistently used, which was anthropomorphic animals, which they defined in the very first sentence as being like Bugs Bunny? You get how that is not the same as looking at a living rabbit and feeling sexual arousal, right?
I guess “most furries want to fuck characters like Bugs Bunny!!” was just obvious shit everyone already knew.
I did read your comment, which if you reread it yourself you might notice contains the sentence “Incorrect, most furries are attracted to animals” and no further clarification.
If you were trying to get across that you were not talking about fucking animals when you said “most furries are attracted to animals” and linked to a study about sexual attraction in furries you might want to edit that in, because it doesn’t actually say anything like that right now.
I didn’t say there was no sexual aspect to it, but I stand corrected that there’s some sexual aspect involved for the vast majority (at least of the men they interviewed). I wish the rest of that study wasn’t locked behind a paywall, 'cause I’m curious about the details now. I wanna know what they mean by “some aspect.” However, it’s disingenuous/misleading to say that furries are attracted to animals, as that’s zoophilia and is on the same level as pedophilia. Grouping the two together like that is like “MAPs” claiming they’re part of the LGBT. My general experience with furries is that the animal fuckers are treated on the same level as the Nazi furs.
Whenever this kind of thing comes up, though, I can’t help but think about the internet outrage from when they made Lola Bunny’s boobs smaller in the new Space Jam movie and wonder how many of those people are the same people who call furries gross, lmao.
Incorrect, most furries are attracted to animals.

My new place is more soundproof, lol.

2000 is considered the perfect size for surveys. Anymore and you’re wasting resources on diminishing margins of error.
Well out of curiosity I checked the reddit furry sex groups, hundreds of thousands of members. But sure, the study is wrong.
As long as they aren’t into fucking animals or children, I don’t give a fuck.
I didn’t mean to offend you furries, but the sexual aspect is a huge part of it, not sure why you are in denial. https://furscience.com/research-findings/appendix-1-previous-research/summer-2020/

Bruh, take anything and you can probably find a sexual aspect about it.
There’s a sexual aspect about Sports Illustrated. I’m not going to turn around and say everyone who subscribes to Sports Illustrated is a pervert.
Facts. I mean, I know I don’t need to, but I’m going to quote Rule 34 in its entirety:
Take anything and I guarantee you, someone, somewhere, has sexualized it. And if not, there is Rule 35, which states
Some can interpret this as, “If you discover that something has no porn, you have a responsibility to make it.”

If you read my comment intead of just rage replying you would have saw the part I said I wasn’t talking about fucking animals.
