@RustyCrab @teto @WhitestTemplar @Morghur The sexual aspect is definitely part of it, but there's a creative aspect as well - creating your own characters and telling stories with cute animal creatures. I used to think the community was 99% entirely sexual, but the more I learn about the sheer volume of SFW media that could be considered furry, the more I'm willing to believe there really are people who just enjoy the cute anthros without wanting to bang them. This video was kinda enlightening in this regard, it JUST covers literature and yet there's so many furry books and stories (some of which are genuinely interesting):
