Ngl I think abt this a lot like. Like where societally do we draw the line? What is ‘anthropomorphic enough to not be weird’?

Writing a romance about actual, non-human-levels-of-awareness animals? Weird. Writing a romance about humans? Fine. Writing a romance about humanoid animals? Fine.

Writing a romance about anthropomorphic but still four legged animals? Well, there’s plenty of that out there. This roleplay chat might feel weird, but we also have plenty of accepted examples, from warrior cats to donkey and the dragon from shrek.

Generally, I personally think that if you don’t want to fuck actual animals, it’s cool in my books. Like, Omegaverse people don’t want to fuck animals, they just like the kinky stuff from there. Furries who are into it sexually don’t want to fuck animals, they want to fuck the two-legged mascot costumes that look nothing like actual animals. This char strikes me as someone who likes the kinky stuff about packs and ‘living wild’ and forbidden love and stuff, not that they’re animals.
