Eye sockets.
Yeah the wendigo probably has a wendick that is going straight up your ass.
Creepy ass furries, always trying to stick your dicks in malevolent spirits and helpless farm animals.
I can hear the down votes coming. “Thats nawt true! Its purrfektly normal to want to has sex with a Wendigo!”
Eh.
Kinda with you on that one. Never understood furries and with their porn/erotica overflow on the internet them saying “it’s not a sex thing!” seems pathetic. Especially that this is popular enough to breed a joke about struggling artist giving into the dark side of furry porn.
That being said, the best (and only sensible) way it was explained to me is that they perceive it more like xenophilia rather than anything close to actual animals. They perceive these chars more like aliens rather than animals crunched into human form.
Still feels iffy but I grasp them better with that explanation. Helps that they actively hunt down zoophiliacs in their fandom so there must be some meat on that explanation.
Even without actual animals I still see it as likely a group that people with certain mental illnesses are attracted to that encourages them to sexualize imaginary animals. It doesn’t seem like there is any healthy outcome from that. At best it’s encouraging sexual attraction to something that doesn’t exist, and at worst those things that don’t exist look like a cross between humans who do exist and animals who do exist and that could cause people to fall on the wrong size of that actual animals part.
I met a 20 something year old in prison who had molested one of his relatives. When he was out after that sentence his parole officer checked his phone and found videos of him fucking the family dog. It would be much more surprising to find out he’d never seen any of that ‘art’ than to find out he had a big stash of it.

Which is literally xenophilia. People want to bonk with weird shit all the time - look at all the cases of people needing to be cut out of exhaust pipes or objects stuck in ass or vagina. Deviancy is normal, even if we all have different levels of it. That was the main part that made the xenophilia explanation work for me. Is xenophilia bad? Honestly not for me to judge, as it hurts no one and is pretty much unexplored when it comes to morality as we, kinda, never met any aliens in the first place. At least not en masse, if we try to keep open mind to conspiracy theories ;p
People want to bonk Transformers and we just give them weird look and carry on. People want to frick Cthulu and again, get weird look and carry on. I am of opinion furries also qualify there - they want to bonk something that doesn’t exist. Give a weird look and carry on.

Yeah, I get ya there. But also there is a well documented thing of furries staying vigilant and hunting down actual zoophiliacs in the fandom. If someone gets too close to actual animal sex art, even if said animal is suggested to be sentient, fandom tends to implode on them and report them, which supports the idea they draw a very clean line between themselves and zoophilia. Which again supports the xenophilia claim.
About the guy you mentioned, I’m actually willing to bet he had nothing to do with furries. If furries were connected to zoophiliacs it would be mentioned more - people love attacking associated stuff and furries already have a huge target on their back. But almost every single time I saw an article about caught zoophiliac, it was a case of peanut butter and deviant curiosity with no moral brakes.
Heck, I have a furry friend, and while teasing him for shit and giggles once I wrangled the topic into more serious rails and it pretty much resulted in him saying he is still fully attracted to humans (and as dude is hetero, specifically women), it’s just that he likes the aesthetic. Similiar to catgirls, basically, just taken into full alien mode. I believe it’s safe to assume this applies to most furries - they are still attracted to humans rather than animals, they just like said humans having weird traits, basically not being vanilla. Which makes these furrsonas actual xenos rather than animals. Which supports xenophilia claim.
Which is still weird but not morally wrong, so there’s nothing wrong with letting them be. Althought they could actually try to minimalize the porn overflow T-T

There’s a huge difference between honestly saying you don’t like a given thing and hunting the people who do that thing down to force them to stop it or die. People on the internet have started to think simply voicing an opinion they don’t like is hate and persecution and intolerance. It screams of never having dealt with genuine intolerance.
I love when people wear clearly racist shirts, because that lets me know from a distance this isn’t a person I want to associate with. They’re allowed to have their asshole opinions. They’re not allowed to attack me or try to drive me out of town because of them.
Same opinion honestly, free speech with free consequences of it community-wise. If you’re an asshole, be an asshole but if people start avoiding you or straight up telling you to shut up it’s a you-problem.
And while on internet many folk became quite intolerant of different opinions, on lemmy especially it’s visible as the whole fedi is built around smaller, tighter knit communities. Which is cool, and I love it but it does tend to create echo chambers and skew perception of norm.
It’s still so weird to me. Not noting what instance a given post is from or knowing their tribal norms and making a simple comment and having a dozen people call for your death, and all of them feel that’s a sane and normal thing to do. This place becoming popular could be whole new fields of research in sociology and psychology.
The bait is strong with this one. I didn’t understand furries I still barely do. That said I learned a good bit about them by making this post. Maybe some of the comments will help you to have more realistic views.
I made my own a while back. Nothing is ever going to convince me that wanting to have sex with roughly human shaped animals is any less creepy and wrong than if they were saying the same about kids.
Some people do. The whole anime girl clearly designed to look and act 10 who it’s “ok” to sexualize because she’s really thousands of years old. WINKWINK
Coming up with imaginary scenarios where it’s suddenly moral to have sex with kids or sheep is super weird and creepy.
Some guy in that thread defended it by saying that some people get off eating shit and it’s not alright to make fun of that. Yes, it’s definitely fine to say that getting off eating shit is creepy and abnormal. He might have been the same one who said that not all furries are in to kids. It didn’t help do anything other than sketch me out even harder.
I say all of this completely cognizant of where we are having this discussion. I personally am strongly againt lolicon drawings of any kind, to the point I think it should be illegal material. Treated with slightly less severity than CSAM. I don’t view that as “kink” I view it as genuine evil and dangerous material. I’m also not personally into anything non human. That said, I think there is a pretty large distinction between a furry drawing two furries fucking and someone drawing a German shepard fucking a lady. The latter maybe could even be classed in the same realm as lolicon. The former though, thats just consenting adults with extra imagination. I’m not seeing the throughline you are between furries and pedophiles. Humans are humans, kids are kids, animals are animals and furries are a fourth who gives a fuck category the way I see it. So, in your estimation, what’s okay/Kink and whats not?
I don’t really have a list of sexual kinks I’m a fan of or dislike. Anything forcibly involving non-consenting participants, whether they’re aware of that fact or not, I definitely see as being wrong.
There are over 8 billion people in the world with tens of thousands of combinations of cultures, ethnicities, religions, regional histories, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We’re not all going to agree on the morality of anything. Too many people online have decided to see simple honesty about that from people who feel differently about things than they do as hatred.
Furries don’t engage in non consensual acts by and large. It feels like this is just something you don’t connect with so it makes you uncomfortable. Because you’re uncomfortable you’re railing against it extra hard. Claiming people just see what your saying as hatered seems reasonable. You’re connecting consenting adults participating in innocuous (admittedly strange) behavior with actual pedophilia/zoophilia. That’s an easily hateable position. It’s definitely reasonable to push against that.

You asked “in your estimation, what’s okay/Kink and whats not?” right up there. I was answering that question. I never connected furries to it at all.
I’m not railing against it. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable, but it does trigger a disgust response. It’s at odds with my values and morals. It seems sort of like seeing people eat dog meat or something. A sexual desire for imaginary beings based on animals is weird as all hell to me. I’m not the one who chose to use animals. They did. When someone is a fan of sexualized images of vaguely human shaped animals that connects itself to zoophilia, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to do that.
There’s a big difference between giving your honest opinion on a thing and actively hating a thing. And a difference again between that and being intolerant and falling to violence against those who don’t see the world and the things in it in the same light that you do.
The only thing you were able to list not being okay with was non consensual acts. I specifically asked the question to understand what about furries is against your moral compass. From what you’re saying its just that you think its weird. Which is fine, but a different animal from pedophilia/zoophilia completely. It being weird/not your thing makes sense, it being against your morals/values doesn’t. Based on what you’ve said. Again I really want to understand how you’re connecting it to pedophilia/lolicon. Also, I don’t understand what you’re trying to explain in that last paragraph at all.
