>>42457123If we really have to argue semantics, the furry “culture” is a relatively recent thing that came from a scifi convention in 1980.
It doesn’t mean no one lusted over anthropomorphic entities, mind you, since whatever that lioness from the Star Trek cartoon was called has been romanced by the captain and “admired” by people irl. And we also have the ancient fertility statues with animal heads, and anthropomorphic goddesses that were related to fertility and intercourse, you get the idea.
But still, that doesn’t mean all those ancient worshippers of half-human half-animal sex deities were furries since they don’t attend fursuit cons, have fursonas, or rant on twitter about which Pokémon is the most “fuckable”.
