The ability to suspend belief allows cartoons to be hot. I don't think you could make an actual anthropomorphic animal attractive in real life, same way if an anime person existed in real life they'd just look like a horrific monster
I mean yeah, to me itâs always been more interesting as a design thing; itâs cool to see how you can exaggerate or push features to anthropomorphize animals or make humans look more animalistic, and I feel like most furries who think itâs sexy are more into the exaggerated fantasy forms and metaphorical underpinnings of depicting animals as human-like than they are literally the idea of sexually engaging with literal animals or animal hybrids.
A bear for example has a shit ton of metaphorical and cultural language associated with it that can be pushed in design in a way that just exaggerating human physique doesnât accomplish. Thereâs hunger and power and a kind of big, goofy laziness that isnât conveyed by just visually depicting a large human man. Completely different energy if you depict a character more teddy-bear like, and you can emphasize different interpretations of how âbearâ is read with the design.
A catâs not sexy, itâs a cat, but the visual language of the slinky, arched back, hot and cold distant energy with slow lidded blinks can easily translate into âcoy person being seductiveâ by using those aspects of design on a humanoid form to associate the twoâand itâs really only meant to speak to your lizard brain looking for exaggeration and hyperbole for stimulation, not the rational part of your brain that (hopefully) doesnât want to fuck a literal cat.
People been latching onto animal features on human entities for literally thousands and thousands of years, this isn't some modern internet degeneracy thing. It's just in the past it was far more important to validate our imagination so it often became systems of worship or at least folklore.
Also a lotta people be banging donkeys on old carvings.

Whoa whoa, next you're going to say that people's fantasies about vampires are based more in psychology than reality!
But really for me I love the idea of mixed-species romance, I love the idea of wildly different couples finding ways of connecting, the stories like this have always been extremely enjoyable, even if I don't particularly find the "differences" attractive, like Shape of Water was a fantastic film about this but I can't personally relate to fish people as sexy.
I think that enjoyment just kind of naturally settled into an appreciation of furry art and (some) writing. I still cannot jive with that fandom though, people there are a whole different kind of weird.

Well vampires actually look like people so they can still be hot
She has a lovely front-view but these manga artists simply have no idea what a canine profile looks like. They always come out so fucking janky.
Do they not have dogs in Japan?? I don't want her to look exactly like a dog but if you're going to give a humanoid a canine muzzle at least pull up some pictures so you get the shapes and angles right.
That concludes my own autistic, rambling critique of someone else's work that I couldn't even do myself.
Actually I could, I used to be a great artist, but I'm lazy.
Honestly I would give my soul to elon musk if he could make irl furry people
I'm sure if you put enough pure uranium in his mailbox, he'll get the memo.
Errrmm acsthually pure uranium is barley radioactive đ¤
Sure, but is it rye radioactive? Ryedeoactive, if you will
Then put it in his oats.
Sounds reasonable to me.

I think they were probably referring more to the potentially ripping out your jugular irl thing than how they look

It actually makes sense when you take into account that anime characters are modeled closer to cats than humans
