History Main / YIFF

Of course, yiff has [[MediaWatchdog its critics]]. For a lot of people, yiff skews [[{{Squick}} just a bit too close]] to [[BestialityIsDepraved bestiality]] due to the animal-like characters pictured. This can be countered by the observation that the characters are anthropomorphic -- or human-like -- adult animals, which implies that [[InterspeciesRomance consent can be given]]. There is also the obvious fact that most furry characters are essentially human from the neck down (most of the time); thus, one can make the valid argument that if people -- furry or otherwise -- ever find themselves attracted to an anthropomorphic furry character (for example, a HumanoidFemaleAnimal such as [[Film/SpaceJam Lola Bunny]]), it is not because they are actually drawn to the physical animal characteristics, but because they are usually attracted to the '''[[OccamsRazor human]]''' SecondarySexualCharacteristics of the character, [[note]]Such as [[BuxomIsBetter breasts]], [[HartmanHips hips]], [[ShesGotLegs legs]], [[{{Hunk}} muscles]], etc.[[/note]] and that the former are practically cosmetic traits more than anything else.

Note that the actual term ''yiff'' is largely a DiscreditedMeme at this point; it might occasionally be used in private conversations, but expect to get laughed or derided out of the virtual room (by furries, no less, which is [[ForumPeckingOrder saying something]]) if you use it in a serious -- or sexual -- context.

It is also unfair to say the Furry Fandom has produced all yiff; poor WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse has starred in pornographic Tijuana Bibles, along with other FunnyAnimal characters, making this [[OlderThanTheyThink older than you might think]].

Foxish was an [[ConLang entire made-up language]] consisting of a grand total of nine words used for fantasy role-playing foxes. Yiff had the original meaning of [[NewSpeak doubleplusgood]], apparently. The word comes from the [[WrittenSoundEffect onomatopoetic rendering of the sound that a happy fox makes]][[hottip:*: Which leads one to wonder if these people have actually heard the sort of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk1mAd77Hr4&feature=related noises that come out of a real fox]]]]. The word became a [[{{Flanderization}} catch-all for sex acts in the furry fandom]] somewhere along the line, though it also became a classification of artwork used to specifically refer to any artwork of both an [[AnimalTropes anthropomorphic]] and adult nature.
