[ insert long rant about people calling things 'art' that simply are not ]
The word 'furry' gives me the willies. Especially in combination with words like 'erotica' or 'porn'. Furry porn is porn from the 70's - wonderful for a laugh, but one cannot help but wonder if people with that many hair ever existed (take that, theory of evolution!)..
I do know what is being referred to as 'furry-porn' here - don't ask me why - but I think we should rename it to 'fable-porn' or something along those lines. ;]

so-called 'furry erotica' or 'yiff' artwork used to be referred to as anthropomorphic, then shortened to anthro, then less and less as it stopped being art and turned into porn.
I'd imagine it has something to do with a lacking social life and piles of repression.
Hentai anime is similar in the regard that much of the worst is almost a direct product of sexual repression finding somewhere to vent, hence the overabundance of rape, multipartner sex, misc impossibilities/exaggerations rather blatantly showcasing the artist, and by association the consumer's, utter lack of sexual activity.
As for pedophilia, that's a mixed issue. While I generally frown upon sexual activity at that young of an age, japan's legal limit is 13 as I recall. Americans tend to be rather prudish on this as well, but an age difference of 5-10 years has been relatively common for some time.
Younger females are viewed favorably when it comes to mating in general. Genetics is funny like that, as soon as a healthy mammal is capable of producing offspring, a large number of them get right to it. Carrying and birthing a child is extremely taxing, and most women undergo relatively major change after the second or third child. Whereas the average male is capable of producing sufficient genetic material well into old age.
Efffectively, a 40+ year old man ogling early-to-mid teens girls is most likely frustrated both sexually and with the loss of his youth. Almost like an inverted Oedipus complex.
Trivia aside, most of this is simply because people need to get laid, and just won't admit it.

There is other furry artwork other than the porn.. but hey, I look at both. So whatever. I mean, something as simple a guy drawing a ripoff Looney Toons comic can be considered furry.
Yea, I look at both.. but I more prefer being a fan of the characters that already exist... Bugs Bunny, Tony the Tiger, Chester Cheetah, Minerva Mink, etc. All of which I only look at in a non-erotic sense.
The trouble with people is that they can't get past the stereotype set by lord knows who. Granted, the majority of the fandom fits into that stereotype quite well.. but not all of them do.
*rant deleted*... In all seriousness, 'normal' people are just as bad as furries when it comes to sexual kinks. And often times worse.

Well when it comes to sexual kinks, at least the furries are honest about theirs. Everyone has their kinks. I find more often than not it's the "normal" people who tend to be in denial about what does and does not affect them, which tends to give them over more to unwanted temptations they might not act on if they acknowledged them in the first place. It doesn't mean you have to share these feelings with other people, nor should you let them rule you, but you should be aware of your impulses and not lie to yourself about them, especially if they go against your beliefs in some way and you wish to maintain control over them.
There is always the question of cultural acceptence of course, people tend to react badly to things they do not understand, which is why some things are best kept private. It's a question of what is culturally taboo. I tend to take a dim view on unwritten cultural laws. They are "mob rule" mentality and repressive. How many people in the past have been beaten or killed simply because someone else thought they were a "freak" because of such prejudices? And why, what harm did they cause to their assailants, just by being different in some way? Feelings of personal guilt or discomfort should never be based on these sort of rules since society as a whole is often dead wrong on many things. My belief is that if it does not violate any personal moral standard, nor break any civil law, nor violate your religious beliefs, nor cause injury to someone else (human or otherwise), then there's no problem with it, and it's not my business anyway.

Now if we could beat a similar stance into everyone's head the world would probably be a better place. Anyway it seems some people here didn't get the memo, so here you go... The internet is for porn. wether or not it'll disgust/nauseate you is just a side effect. |

I personally don't do the porn thing, but I have no qualms with people who want to.
I mean, we condone all this violence in our society, heaven forbid we see boobies.

To tell the truth, I'm rather into hentai, but the furry/anthro kind...I don't like it when humans are involved, they're ugly. I'm mostly attracted to female avian/reptile type anthros though.  |

Uh... yeah. I'd be a bit upset running across something like that in a search too.
