Re: Does anyone find characters with animal-ish features or traits hot?

I know absolutely nothing about catgirls (I was thinking more along the lines of centaurs or fauns or animal-demons or Saiyans with tails), but I do know two things:

1) Using big words doesn't make you right. They're still fundamentally different categories to the human subconscious, no matter how irrational or illogical the distinction may be when we describe it.

2) You sound reeeeeeaaaaaalllllly defensive and insecure. Cheer up hon.

Yep, you're a furry.

1) My goodness, you're mixing Freudianism with your cognitivism and still? No, working with people who do character design professionally makes me right. Actually having read the primary research you're misrepresenting makes me right.

2) I'm sick of the second page of FS being a playground for trolls, ignorance, and kinkshaming.

No, you're objectively incorrect. Furry is a distinct type of art that INCLUDES FACES. ALL of the furry creature is animal, just in a human shape.

Cat ears, tails, etc are more accessories than anything. In the case of someone finding a catgirl hot, it has nothing to do with being attracted to cats (or humanoid cats) but the aesthetic plus the well-developed concept of sexy, "catty" personalities (not actual cats but sly, sensual, etc). Anyway, any animal doesn't matter. If the animal part is merely accessory to an otherwise HUMAN looking character, it is not furry.

It's not even about kinkshaming. People who are into furry would even disagree with you.

Do I really need to point you to wikipedia on this:

"The furry fandom is a subculture interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics."

Note, face doesn't appear anywhere in the article in reference to what makes a furry character.

Or here http://furrydolphin.net/furry-dict.html

"1. Possessing human characteristics. These include the physical as human/animal hybrids (i.e. Centaurs, the Sphinx) and/or possessing qualities such as intelligence and/or human-like emotions and reactions to various scenarios (i.e. Lassie, Rin-Tin-Tin, Flicka, etc.)
2. The center of interest of Furry fandom"

Or here: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Furry_fandom

"The general idea being a combination of human and animal attributes, for which there is no documented science regarding what degrees of mixture are required. Even characters like Josie and the Pussycats are considered of interest to furry fandom, though they only wear costumes with animal ears and tails."

Whether some furry people would disagree with me is irrelevant. The full spectrum of anthropomorphic art exists, and has been a feature of furry fandom since the early 90s. Crying "but not the face" is just constructing an arbitrary line across one part of the spectrum.

Bob damn it. On usenet and furry mush the fawns and centaurs walked to school, uphill, both ways, in the snow and we liked it!
