Just think, you have an international fandom known for:

  1. Cool fursuits
  2. Doing creative indie art projects

You'd think someone would have thought, "Why don't we fight monsters while in our fursuits and then film it and put it online", but I haven't seen this yet. WHY THE FUCK NOT??

I read this as tonkatsu and got hungry and strangely horny.

Thank you for verbalizing what I could not

Because they just want to put the fursuit on and fuck. It's not that complicated.

PIGPOOPBALLS the "furry fandom is not about sex" people are usually just trying to throw the "weirdos" under the bus, but there are also furries that are genuinely just not doing it as a fetish.

That doesn't preclude killing monsters as well, though. Also, do you think people that wear Power Rangers type stuff don't want to fuck as soon as they put the costumes on??? And they still have plenty of time for some on camera monster killing, so there's really no excuse.

I'm not a part of the whole furry culture, but I completely agree with you. It feels like a natural extension of the extensive sex-and-violence action-movie genre.

No but come on. The closest they've gotten is Beastars which has a lot of themes and complexity, but does have a huge sexual element to draw you in. Let's just call a spade a spade here. You can explore a lot of themes, but there's a hook.

That anime makes me feel weird
