I don’t really have a list of sexual kinks I’m a fan of or dislike. Anything forcibly involving non-consenting participants, whether they’re aware of that fact or not, I definitely see as being wrong.
There are over 8 billion people in the world with tens of thousands of combinations of cultures, ethnicities, religions, regional histories, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We’re not all going to agree on the morality of anything. Too many people online have decided to see simple honesty about that from people who feel differently about things than they do as hatred.
So you are a committed vegan, right? Since imposing confinement, forced impregnation and slaughter on unconsenting animals in real life is clearly a lot worse than wanting to fuck them in a fantasy.
Furries don’t engage in non consensual acts by and large. It feels like this is just something you don’t connect with so it makes you uncomfortable. Because you’re uncomfortable you’re railing against it extra hard. Claiming people just see what your saying as hatered seems reasonable. You’re connecting consenting adults participating in innocuous (admittedly strange) behavior with actual pedophilia/zoophilia. That’s an easily hateable position. It’s definitely reasonable to push against that.

You asked “in your estimation, what’s okay/Kink and whats not?” right up there. I was answering that question. I never connected furries to it at all.
I’m not railing against it. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable, but it does trigger a disgust response. It’s at odds with my values and morals. It seems sort of like seeing people eat dog meat or something. A sexual desire for imaginary beings based on animals is weird as all hell to me. I’m not the one who chose to use animals. They did. When someone is a fan of sexualized images of vaguely human shaped animals that connects itself to zoophilia, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to do that.
There’s a big difference between giving your honest opinion on a thing and actively hating a thing. And a difference again between that and being intolerant and falling to violence against those who don’t see the world and the things in it in the same light that you do.
The only thing you were able to list not being okay with was non consensual acts. I specifically asked the question to understand what about furries is against your moral compass. From what you’re saying its just that you think its weird. Which is fine, but a different animal from pedophilia/zoophilia completely. It being weird/not your thing makes sense, it being against your morals/values doesn’t. Based on what you’ve said. Again I really want to understand how you’re connecting it to pedophilia/lolicon. Also, I don’t understand what you’re trying to explain in that last paragraph at all.
Even without actual animals I still see it as likely a group that people with certain mental illnesses are attracted to that encourages them to sexualize imaginary animals. It doesn’t seem like there is any healthy outcome from that. At best it’s encouraging sexual attraction to something that doesn’t exist, and at worst those things that don’t exist look like a cross between humans who do exist and animals who do exist and that could cause people to fall on the wrong size of that actual animals part.
The pedophile and animal art are two big things people are often going to encounter on the internet. Sexualized animated images of children, animals, and children-animals are far from uncommon. Go scroll Reddit for a bit and see how many young looking horse-girls or whatever the popular theme of the moment is that you run in to. Neither of them seem like things that could be healthy. The sort of thing that should be discouraged and not encouraged.
I met a 20 something year old in prison who had molested one of his relatives. When he was out after that sentence his parole officer checked his phone and found videos of him fucking the family dog. He went back to prison for that. It would be much more surprising to find out he’d never seen any of that ‘art’ than to find out he had a big stash of it.
Which mental illnesses? I haven’t used reddit in a long time but I thought lolicon was expressly forbidden there. I’ve also never seen either randomly on the internet, only inadvertently running into it while looking for porn to watch. So I wouldn’t say its an internet thing as much as a porn thing. Would you subscribe to the idea that playing violent video games, listening to heavy metal or watching violent movies makes people engage in violence?
I’m not taking about flat out porn, just the sexualized images. Panty shots of characters clearly drawn to look like children, anthropomorphized animals with huge human breasts, etc.

No reasonable person does. However sexual attraction is a thing that very definitely can be influenced and change over time. If you go through your teen years where your biochemistry is pushing you towards sex and you see lots of sexualized animation or furry art then you’re going to end up much more likely drawn to that than if it’s something you never see until you’re in your 30s.
If you spend 10 years only able to access one specific niche of porn that you don’t like and you ‘make do’ with it, by the end of that time it might be the thing you’re most drawn to.
That article doesn’t really support anything you’re saying or explain what mental illnesses you’d associate with furries. Therianthropy isn’t even a recognized mental disorder. You’re drawing the same link to if someone consumes X media they will likely engage in Y action. You provided a study that talked about historical cases of therianthropy. You didn’t provide anything that showed there is a link or higher likelihood a furry will engage in pedophilia/zoophilia. Aside from the vibe you get. I think engaging with any porn/heavily sexualized material in your early teen years isn’t going to be good for your brain or your expectations of healthy sex as an adult. You’re describing something it seems like you would have to seek out. It’s a caregivers responsibility to make sure a child doesn’t have the ability to view something like that at such a young age.
Associated conditions included psychotic disorders (41 %), psychotic depression (24 %), bipolar disorder (18 %), and Cotard’s syndrome (12 %).
You’re hung up on wanting one specific mental disorder. Mental health is a complex topic. People with many disorders can be drawn to the ‘furry’ group for varying reasons.

Neuroplasticity most strongly effects sexual attraction during puberty, however the things we spend time experiencing continue to have effects on that for at least the bulk of our lives. It has nothing to do with claiming video games or rock music make children worship the devil. You’re conflating actual neuroscience with scare tactics you see on TV.
You seem defensive, and while I don’t mind discussion I have no interest in taking the time to write a dissertation for a social media response. You don’t understand my dislike. That’s alright. You don’t have to. Everyone in the world has their own point of view on all sorts of things. Being honest about that is just being honest about a basic fact of the human condition. It doesn’t mean someone’s calling for others who do a thing they dislike to be burned alive.

Eating meat is normal human behavior. Fantasizing about fucking nonhuman animals is not.
