    I’m cool with roleplaying as an animal person, wearing a costume, the fetish aspect, whatever. Live your life.

    I just don’t understand why they’ve all standardized to using the same terrible art style. It doesn’t look like a human, an animal, or even a sonic character (which I assume is the root), but a fourth thing. You can tell a furry by how they draw a normal human because of how deep set the habits are. Is there any other group as exclusively committed to an art style?

    If I spent that kind of money on a wolf costume I’d at least want it to vaguely look like a wolf.

    Edit: If you think these don’t heavily share a style (as compared to anthropomorphic characters from non-furry animated series, for example) then I don’t know what to tell you.

      That just isn’t true. There are as many art styles in furry as there are outside of it. If you’re talking about popular artists that’s something different. But if you take one look around an artists alley you’ll see more that’s different than the same.

        Not trying to be offensive but I seriously doubt there are “as many art styles” in the furry scene vs the entirety of art that isn’t furry…
