Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make
(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 12:58 am (UTC)(link)This fits somewhere on the spectrum, and is a conversation of its own, but that's really not what most a/b/o is like, at all. You know that, right?
The majority of a/b/o, the characters think and behave almost entirely human, except when they're in heat. And even in heat, they remain human-looking, they talk, they move like humans, they kiss, they engage in anilingus and fingering, often they worry about getting proper consent, sometimes they worry about pregnancy, and sometimes they use contraception. All human things.
The animal basis for a/b/o is almost entirely incidental. If people liked a/b/o because they were into doggie porn, it would be about a hundred times...doggier.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 01:25 am (UTC)(link)Like to be fair, you could say this about most furry porn too:
The majority of furry porn, the characters think and behave almost entirely human, except they look like werewolves for example. They talk like humans, they move like humans, they kiss, they engage in anilingus and fingering, often they worry about getting proper consent, sometimes they worry about pregnancy, and sometimes they use contraception. All human things.
I guess to me the defining factor of whether a character is "human enough" is their inner workings and human personality, and most furry characters in my experience parse as "human enough" regardless of their exterior. An alien could be "human enough" too. So can a robot brain in a jar. And A/B/O. To me, all these things parse the same way, as "human enough to count as basically human for the purposes of shipping, without being actually human."
Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make
(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 01:45 am (UTC)(link)The appearance of humanity does still make a bit of difference to me, though. So, like, fucking Jessica Rabbit definitely isn't the same as fucking Thumper. I guess because, no matter how unrabbit-like Thumper is on the inside, you're still left with the mental image of fucking a rabbit. So like, in theory, I would have to really, really love who that rabbit character was as a person, in order to even begin to get past the mental imagery of bestiality.
Whereas, with Jessica Rabbit, there is no mental image of bestiality to get past. She is clearly a humanoid person in...a lot of very key ways.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)A character like the ones in Zootopia or Disney's Robin Hood is what most "standard" furry porn is like. Basically human or close enough, at least to me.
That's why I see that kind of stuff, and A/B/O, and werewolves and all, as pretty equal on the "not quite human but human enough" scale.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 02:18 am (UTC)(link)I know it's starting to sound like I've seen a lot of porn, but mostly I wanted to see for myself what it was that everybody was hating on, and it turned out to be pretty standard fare imo. I did the same for A/B/O mpreg fandom when hating on that was popular too.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)Me too. I'm surprised. I figured if people seemed to find something disgusting, they'd know what it was like before blindly disliking it???
Furry isn't my cup of tea, and neither is A/B/O, but I looked at both to see what they were about for myself. And I found the standard versions of both of them to be pretty mundane.
But I guess, at least, now I know why people who are into A/B/O don't see furry stuff as pretty similar. Because they've got no clue what furry stuff is like.
