Said as if the whole industry as we know it wasn’t spawned by an indie animation of an anthropomorphic mouse wearing clothes and piloting a steamboat.

There are 2 types of furries. Those in tech who are suspiciously wealthy, and poor artists who get commissioned by the former. Furries run IT btw. 10+% of my MSP team are furries.

Why are people acting like any animal based character is a furry? Did everyone forget about Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Cats Don’t Dance, Aristocats, Mickey Mouse, American Tale, The Secret of NIMH, Adventures from the Book of Virtues, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Oliver and Company, Lion King, Bambi, Chester Cheetah, The Great Mouse Detective, the Trix Rabbit, basically anything made for kids, old fables and folktales, etc feel free to add to the list

None of this is new and it reminds me when people were losing their minds over actors playing different characters like it was a new thing

Looney Tunes and Time and Jerry didn’t wear clothes, or pretend they were people.

The Looney tunes characters were all animals in animal settings, personified for comedic effect.

Then you’ve got all that Don Bluth stuff that is definitely furry, which kicked of a lot of furry imaginations.

Also pretty sure Disney is responsible for a lot of furries. Gadget alone fucked up a lot of kids.

I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t watched cartoons where animals pretend to be people before, what a day.

Furries are anthropomorphic animals, i.e. non-human animals with human characteristics. Which describes everything you just listed.

Furries are a community off-shoot of the broader sci-fi fandom that started in the 1970’s, characterized by a fondness for anthropomorphic reprisentation in media. It expanded from it’s sci fi roots into fantasy, alt-historical fiction, slice of life, and yes, porn, because nerds are horny.

Furries is also the term for the characters that are created by the members of the community, and also has been used to describe other characters in other media, but it’s worth noting that not all of these come from furries (the people), though by now nearly all do. The lead character artists for Zootopia and Sing are out furries, for example. And Vivziepop and the Lackadaisy team certainly are furries.

It's not a disease, you're not gonna wanna start fucking Teddy bears just because you watched something made by or for furry fans.

It’s kind of weird playing a furry made game like Dust and realizing the creator probably drew the fairy character getting fucked.

TimeSquirrel ,
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

This may be surprising to you and go against the common stereotype, but not all of them are into it for the porn. It's just another fantasy genre.

The extreme weirdos always get the most attention, because they're extreme weirdos. Like when somebody is heavily into anime and people assume they also like hentai tentacle porn.

Tb0n3 ,

Not all. Only 98%. Honestly it’s the most degenerate hobby.

I was rather taken aback at the art style on Luna. It’s not necessarily the idea of a hell hound, but the art style is very furry.

Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.

It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they've been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it's getting more posts recently.

That’s exactly how it is. Bullying LGBTQ+ is shunned upon these days, so bigots are redirecting their hatred to the next thing on the list they don’t understand, furries

Squirrel ,
@Squirrel@thelemmy.club avatar

Eh, I guess, but it is a bit harder to understand. You mention LGBTQ+, so considering the sexual aspect of furries… sexualizing animals… yeah. As long as they’re not going to actual bestiality, I don’t really care. But no, I don’t understand.

Tl;dr: You’re probably right and I’m rambling.

Mothra ,
@Mothra@mander.xyz avatar

It’s not harder to understand, it just has had less media exposure which means it feels more alien to the majority out there. There is a lot of nuance in anthropomorphism, most of it isn’t even sexualised and doesn’t count as furry. But the masses have an aversion to nuance.

Imo it’s very similar to drag, furries have an alt ego that just happens to be an anthropomorphic animal, period.

Saying that liking any of these shows makes someone a furry is about as right as saying you must be queer or something if you liked watching Ms. Doubtfire. It’s clearly trolling.

InkstainTheBat OP ,

Hey, I want to clarify, I’m not looking to bully or harass the furry community or any of its members, I’m a furry myself, and I made this meme simply because I thought it was intresting how common anthropomorphic animals are in animation

Mothra ,
@Mothra@mander.xyz avatar

All good with you, also agree it’s interesting to see anthro characters getting more screen time lately. What disappoints me is the creeping tide of hate, one can’t bring up the topic without trolls starting a fire

Oka ,

Anthro does not have to mean furry. You can still like them without being a furry

Lackadaisy is a work of art and you know it
