I guess it's late enough already.

Let's attempt a Foxy Friday thread, along with the customary reading of Disaster Fox Kuzure-chan.

Why are Japanese furries so much better than Western ones?

Finished. What do you think?

I, for one, welcome an arc with Otsune.

1. Greater preasure to be a crowd-pleaser, rather than just doing whatever gets you hot and bothered.
2. Strong foundation. Even by just imitating other kemono artists, you get something decent.
3. See >>281117184. Japanese furries make things fluffy and cute, western kemono otaku focus on making bizarre anatomy.

>>281117122
1. The last time you said that it was not true anywhere in the world.
2. It's still Friday in the Great Britian. Unless you are in Australia or New Zealand, you have no right to call others ESL.
3. I did mention it was late already.

Western furries come from a place with low self criticism and low criticism in general. Furry community was founded around marginalized groups like the LGBT, specially gay men. Fursonas and fursuits give them anonimity allowing them to be themselves when it wasn’t accepted by society so these communities were highly accepting and low on criticism. Furry style seems to draw more from sports mascots and costumes than cartoon animals also why they are mostly a human body covered in fur and an animal head, because most of the time they were representing a fursuit. Another fact is on how western furry communities operate on commissions meaning a furry obsessed with some obscure fetish can support a shitty artist, since a single commissioner can keep the demand high there is not much incentive or feedback for improvement so unless the artist have a healthy dose of self criticism they can stay decades making shitty drawings.
Japanese furries seems to be more related to cute mascots and less human bodies are more common while the head is often more humanized, the artists usually draw doujinshis and sell those at conventions. Even if they have a massive fan who always buy the doujinshi that is not enough to support the artist. The artist motivation is to get better so more people would be interested in their work. Also they are less likely to be exclusive furry artists, many Japanese artists that draw mostly furry characters also draw humans and many of the ones who draw mostly human characters also draw furry art.

Which stupid youtuber is spreading this crap? The furry fandom was started by nerds talking about the cat and bird people in Star Trek TAS. The first furry con was about the restoration of Animalympics. The scene became full of pervs and sex pests for the same reason everything else does, not because it was started by them.
>so these communities were highly accepting and low on criticism
No, it's because the low-bar of "you must like cartoon animals" attracted social rejects desperate to belong somewhere. These were the once pushing tolerance and acceptance, for their own sake.
>Furry style seems to draw more from sports mascots and costumes than cartoon animals
The costumes are based on mascots and the mascots are based on cartoons, not the other way around. Seriously, who comes up with this shit?
>because most of the time they were representing a fursuit
Source: your ass. The mostly human bodies are because that's what most people want to see in porn.
>Japanese furries seems to be more related to cute mascots and less human bodies are more common
Again; source: your ass. Stuff like Made In Abyss and Jewelpets are exceptions, not the rule.

The rest of your comment (which isn't much) is more or less right. But so much of it is misinformation... what made you believe otherwise?

>We surveyed 334 male furries recruited from the Internet about their sexual orientation, sexual motivation, and sexual interests. A large majority of our sample reported non-heterosexual identities (84%)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30806867/
These findings match with finding from other sources like furry conventions and other studies. Glbtq+ are overrepresented in furries compared to other communities like anime or gamers so it is not just “pervs get everywhere” My experience from checking on furry communities online for decades I would say it got more straight nowadays with furries becoming more “normal” than they used to

>>281131104
1. Fags are loud.
2. That study is biased; it's part of an effort to normalize AGP. Also, one of the "conclusions" is
>This sexual motivation and these unusual sexual interests do not justify discrimination or stigmatization.
3. First furry groups were straight. Gays came in later, seeing the potential to claim "furry" as their own.

Dude, this have been a thing way before the internet. Why are you so surprised that a community of people who would want to have a body different from the one they were born with is full of people who want to have a body different from the one they were born with? I have seen these communities way before “woke” was a thing and if anything they got less gay now that gay and furries became more “normalized” so the community features more “normalfags” than they used to.

>>281132533
lol wut
>>281132667
>a thing way before the internet
That is my point. Almost all the early stuff is straight. To the point that a common criticism for earlier gay works was that they were being unrealistic when depicting a large amount of gays among the budding furry community. Sadly, these depictions gave the wrong idea and attracted them. Same thing happened with fursuiters, zoophiles, and so on.

>>281132462

>>281132979
A lot of those “sexy vixens” were gay men in female identities. The whole fursuit thing allowed gay people to express themselves with anonymity in a time being openly gay was not an option for most. For comparison Sailor Moon lesbian couple was censored in the English dub in the 90s while in Japan in 80s they had a gay romantic comedy where the titular character lives and dresses as a girl in Shonen Jump, the same magazine for young boys that published Dragon Ball. This show the difference in how these demographics are. 90% of people in the population are straight but the proportions are almost reversed in the furry communities. This is not just some weirdos getting in, they are the vast majority by a large margin and this didn’t changed just because wokes, this already was a thing before wokes.

Western furshit is ugly as fuck and cringeworthy. Kemono is cute and/or sexy at least, and it's not tied to IRL and online faggotry like fursuits and fursonas.

>>281132979
Dude, Merlino and his partner Rod O'Riley's were the creators of the first exclusively furry convention, yes, gay dudes. Furry conventions are where the sci-fi gay fans went to because the regular sci-fi conventions were less accepting.

Fun fact: the two temple foxes were originally characters from his hentai doujinshis

They aren't, in fact I like western far more, eastern furry is so cookie cutter basic bitch shit, what's the point of being good at drawing if all you're going to draw is generic sameslop?

There are plenty of decent western furry artists. It really just comes down to preference.

>>281140683
Actually I think you guys are over thinking it. There's no "one thing" that furry artists in the east abd west do that sets them apart from one another. Every artist is an individual who brings their own special blend of weirdness to the table.

Furry and kemono are a case of convergent evolution, they have different roots but ended up doing anthropomorphic animals. Of course there is some influence on each other, specially with the internet and all so some western artists do art closer to the east side than the west and the same can happen the other way around but that is rare unless you count cartoon animals that I consider a separated group from both kemono and furries due to style. Basically the typical furry, the ones from furry conventions, etc, the cartoon animal-person (Bugs Bunny, Mickey, Donald) and kemono.

>>281141977
My point is that there really isn't one big unifying trait that encompasses each group anymore and it comes down to what individual artists you enjoy. The era of furry art being dominated by artists taking direct influence from bugs and micky is long gone, and not every eastern artists exclusively draws chibi potato kemonos. Going back to the topic of "weirdness" for a moment even something like disaster fox, which at first glance seems pretty typical of the cutesy potato style, sets itself apart by clearly channeling the authors hand/paw fetish.

>>281142362
>channeling the authors hand/paw fetish
I think it channels ALL of his fetishes. I haven't read the sheep-dragon manga yet so I'm wondering right now if it's more unhinged or less.

>>281144323
Oh I know I was just using the paw thing as an example of how kemono art isn't just about being cute above all else
