Cut List Just puting this back up since the article got cutlisted and the old discussion is archived.

I say cut, since none of the Fetish Fuel examples are classified by fetish (they are classified by media). These examples can all go under their own media pages.

Then how about we move these first, and only then cut it.

I tried to move the examples, but someone changed it back. Has there ever been a more blatant case of doublethink? The main Furry Fandom page says that's just a stereotype. They have spent the last decade claiming there's nothing sexual about their fandom. I asked them if being sexually attracted to a mouse makes me one of them, and they said no. If that were true, they wouldn't make a Fetish Fuel page to say "Robin Hood made me a furry", and the ones who did wouldn't be true furries by their own definition. So who are all these people tarnishing the good name of your supposedly clean, innocent, kid-friendly fandom? Are they furries or not?

They're not (or at least shouldn't be) saying that people who find anthropomorphic characters to be sexy aren't furries. What they're saying is that being a furry doesn't necessarily mean that they find them sexy. And for many of them, that they do not necessarily condone the actions of those that do.

Every fandom has this situation. There are some people who are downright insane. (Drawing the line is subjective.) Yet they remain part of the fandom. And when people start assuming that every member of the fandom is like them, something has to be done.

Let me make a terrible analogy. Suppose the same word was used to refer to both priests and pedophiles. We know that not all priests are pedophiles, and not all pedophiles are priests, but in this hypothetical scenario it would be one word with two equally correct definitions. We would have a FetishFuel/CatholicChurch page where people would say "I knew I was a priest when I watched Lazytown for the first time". I imagine this confusion would lead to offensive stereotypes for both sides, yet it never occurs to anyone to use a different word.

So what's the word for people who find anthropomorphic characters sexy, but DON'T have fursonas, DON'T go to furry conventions, DON'T wear tails in public, DON'T believe foxes are smarter than humans, and so on? Because if people with NOTHING in common can be part of the same group, it's really just two overlapping groups with the same name.
