Member"Anthro: socially accepted"... Nothing I've seen in 17 years.

MemberMost of the feral content on the site thankfully have some cartoony aspect that anthropomorphise them a bit.
Trying to make them too realistic is an easy way to fall into the uncanny valley.
Also I like when they're still sapient/sentient in any way.

MemberI love that you can draw just a regular-ass animal, then with a few minor tweaks give them nuclear bedroom eyes. 🤣

MemberTezuka loves that too.

MemberSwap around "oh no now I'm a furry" and "socially accepted" and this is pretty accurate. Although, socially accepted could still fit in the anthro category considering how much media people have consumed with mainstream anthro characters throughout their lives and never really complained about it.

MemberRealism goes too far for me. As a person who likes to keep the kink separate from reality, I want my stuff to be wild.

MemberIt depends of which context. I feel like to some people anthros are "coomer bait" while kemomimis from animes are normal and for others it's vice-versa...
Realism is also a part of a spectrum (with stylistic in the other end of it), I think I'm fine with pokémon that has a more realistic looking fur texture than a flat color that makes them like they have skin (same with mobians) and anatomically accuracies but I totally understand people prefering cartoonish styles.
I still believe that even people liking the more realistic pics on the site can still separate fiction from reality like with modern games with violence.
Also some great 3D animations with dragons can make you feel like they're actual characters with a life outside of the lewd moments thanks to romance which improves them than just being there for sex.
