On the subject of furries

[bzarcher]

I have about a half hour before I gotta go out to do some more appointments, and as such I have decided to write! I got asked the other day why I only have "some furries" in my interest list instead of "anthromorphs" or something similar. So I might as well take a sec to explain:

I am all for anthromorphs. I have no problem with them and never have. Where I draw the line is exaggeration or grotesquery.

(Yes, I am not a Winger fan. :D)

Plus, the attitude that some take to it makes the difference. When Supermegatopia draws Buxom Gal or Distraction Damsel, they're doing it to be funny, and it's funny. (Usually.) When someone's drawing people utterly out of proportion just to draw them out of proportion and claim that they should be arousing, I have to go, "ewww." Hermaphrodites...mmph. Depends. If it's drawn well and realistically, that's fine. If it's drawn just to draw it, that's something else.

So I guess I'm a discerning/occasional antrho fan? I just dunno if I am into it enough to call myself a full fan.

You're not a fan, you're someone with an interest, and taste. :) Which ain't a bad thing. I admit, I do like Winger artwork . . . when he's not exaggerated things grotesquely far. A lot of his stuff can be quite cute (My Kinky Pony . . *snickergigglesnort*), and other portions of his artwork is no better and no worse on exaggerating bounteous bosoms than over 70% of the drawn erotica on the net. :)

Grotesquerie, and Erotica, are entirely personal views.

Hell, I get turned on by more than a few gargoyles. ^^;;

I have taste? Wow. :D There are quite a few who'd argue that. ;D

And I am sure you're right. For that matter, I haven't seen too much of his work, so I believe that he's done some work that I'd probably find great. Nobody can be all one thing all the time.

As to the rest, you're absolutely right. And I can't argue with being turned on by a gargoyle, as, well, women are turned on by me. ;D
