I get it. I understand your concern, but consider an island full of 20 Ft tall King Kong esque-gorilla women with literally gigantic lips. TITANIC monkey lips. And different tribes have different cultural characteristics. The some are pretty chill. They Do a little farming. Do some hunting of the island's gigantic monster population for food. They get along with the island's population of normal-size human/furries/whatever you want there. I imagine they style themselves kind of like old school Native Americans. And some of them get along VERY well with the their tiny non-monke friends.

And then there's the dickhead gorilla tribe who war with them, and also occasionally steal tiny humans as prizes/tiny husbands/status symbols. It very important to note that these ladies also have gigantic lips, and you MUST kiss the bride. With tongue. Giant monke tongue.
