Fetishes
12 years ago
So because I'm an RMT, I literally have like 6 hours each shift to daydream as I work. So todays topic was about what people think of first when they hear the word "furry". Basically everyone I asked told me they think of gross fetish porn, and that that's "all furries do! neeeeeeeh!" -.- So I thought about it more and more and you know what I came to realize? All the fetishes us furries have were in fact started (for the most part) in human fetish art. Look at things like all the massive boobs and dicks people are drawn with in cartoons and stuff. That equals hyper. For like scat what comes to mind is that "2 girls one cup" video -_-; tentacles? -> japanese school girls. and while I don't know a lot of other examples, I'm pretty sure that at some point all fetishes have their roots in the human art before being moved to furries -.-
I guess part of the reason that that's all that people think for us is because we can do it so much better than humans. To us, the laws of physics don't always apply. We can do whatever we want because of what we are. Humans are limited because to go way out of physics is wrong and difficult to imagine. But hey if we want to inflate by various means, we do it without thinking twice really. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we seem much more free-er and expressive in these things than human's seem willing to openly illustrate.
And really....humans tend to be sick with some of the things that get them off -.- So the next time someone tells me all about how "gross furries are with their porn", I'm going to first point out all the fetishes found in human art and porn that aren't even related to furries and tell them that that's where it started, and then ask what they were even looking up when they came across said "porn".
Edit: forgive if this makes little sense -_-; I was half asleep as i typed this up.

Why try to turn it back on them? We're the ones with interesting sex lives. ; )
Rather, I think that there's already a sense of suspension of disbelief when it comes to furry artwork.
The idea of anthropomorphic animals is already pretty far fetched, so anything else following that is somewhat believable by contrast.
Plus, I think some fetishes might invoke an "uncanny" feeling when they're applied to realistic characters.
I also think that whether the fetishes involve cartoonish or photorealistic characters is also a large factor.
As for why people associate the more fetish-based art with furries, I think that's just a matter of the extremist cases speaking louder than normal cases.
