Well considering having love with animals is legal in more states in the south than gay marriage, this doesn't surprise me in the least. People like to forget horses and others like to forget sheep. Good for them.
People have been loving animals since the beginning of time. But lets just include them with furries 'cause that's the only argument we have.
I'm not really sure how to respond to you telling me that you're absolutely okay with animal love. How can you honestly believe that that stuff is okay?
And while people *have* indeed been loving animals since the beginning of time, it was an offense punishable by death by nearly every ancient civilization in recorded history. The hebrews, hittites, romans, moors, and basically every significant power throughout ancient history given the death penalty for love with animals. The fact that you're trying to actually defend bestiality doesn't lend credence to your claims when data suggests that at least 20% of your fandom forgets farm animals.
no it still works
No, it doesn't. Let's find an easy example of why you're wrong: Don Griffith was the art director for the 1973 Disney Movie, Robin Hood. The entire cast of characters were anthropomorphic animals, and their character's animal was chosen on what the individual animal suggested (the fox was sly, the lion was regal, the bear was big and dopey) and not on any loveual preference of the designers. Don Griffith never once said he was a furry, he never once said that he was part of the "furry fandom." He produced content where animal characters could appeal to children and communicate basic character traits in a very simple way, but he never obsessed over it like you loving freaks do.
