>>58183157Some people with less than ideal experiences with other people often at a young age will gravitate to what gives them comfort or satisfaction. If human faces and bodies produce dread and animal shapes are associated positively, then this can be the result. I suspect it's why furry's exist, as it dehumanizes something enough to avoid that response to human shapes.
People are inherently social creatures, and barring misanthropic exceptions they will seek to fill that void somehow.
