It’s not a cultural context, this is not a culture that we’re talking about (“this” being a misguided sexualization of furry art). This is the product oversexualization and objectification created by porn consumption and sweeping generalizations. This is merely exaggerated by the fact that most people don’t understand furries beyond a vague idea that it’s sexual, but there are plenty of parts of furry life that are entirely non-sexual. It’s a harmful generalization that objectifies furries as sexual objects, and fails to recognize that there are things other than sex on their mind in their culture (culture applies here because it is a shared group of people with similar and related ideology and interests that routinely interact with one another in community, not a disjointed, unorganized group of people that share the same misunderstanding of a group). You know what has a lot of porn of it? Video games. Are you gonna interpret every piece of video game fanart as sexual? Obviously that would be ridiculous. Yet it’s no different than what we see here. Bigotry is not culture.
