legal is fine, but when you start actively trying to creep people out for yucks, there's something else going on

I don't know why, after a year or so of lurking, this is the thread I feel I should respond to. But I think people have a very narrow view of anthropomorphic entertainment, and immediately label it all furry stuff. Even fans of it call everything anthropomorphic furry. And I can't really disagree, but I feel like that's the same as calling anime "cartoons". I'm not at all a furry or into furry stuff in general, but I do have a nostalgic affinity to Gadget and Princess Sally. But they aren't nearly human enough for me to say as an adult I would be attracted to them if they were introduced now. But there's a wide world of anthropomorphic entertainment that shouldn't be ignored just because "animals". Barely any of it gets sexual at all
The Secret of NIMH
Redwall
Mouse Guard
Zootopia
Ghost of a Tail
Blacksad
All pretty good, mature and thought provoking stories about anthropomorphic animals
And then you have things like Watership Down, which is just straight up animals with human personalities, and they legitimately go insane, and die and stuff. Very mature, not sexual, not furry stuff, and I love when entertainment goes there
I love mature non-sexual anime as well
Mature and thought provoking puppet movies like The Dark Crystal are pretty good as well
Now that I think about it, it's kinda funny how video games so quickly went from being just kids stuff to legitimate drama and entertainment for adults, when cartoons, animals, and puppets always have to wear a stigma badge even still
Edit: I do plan on checking out Beastars, because the trailer snippets looks like good character drama, not because it has sexy animals or anything
I've always rolled my eyes at the fact that Dale wears only a Hawaiian shirt, Chip only wears a leather jacket, Monterey Jack doesn't wear pants, but Gadget needs a full body suit.
There's a history of half dressed male anthropomorphic creatures and female anthropomorphic creatures being completely/or more fully dressed. We're even uptight about how naked our fictional animals ladies can be in media. We simultaneously sexualize and sanitize even fictional women. Culture is weird.
You're weird. Now put on the cat onesie I sent you.
Onesies make me think of the sad halloween store mascot outfits furries wear for their orgies. I do not have nearly the exaggerated imagine enough to think of that stuff as sexy. I like playboy bunnies and Japanese catgirls, but those gigantic stuffed animals freak me out. My anthros need to be appropriately proportionately human for me to s/o to them.
To clarify my statements, it is not my intent to physically upset anyone. My format is more/less ribbed for your humor. But as per any thread, if what I say upsets you, you don't need to be here. Bunch of narrow-minded sycophants.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
