Anime is not inherently sexual as a medium but has a well-deserved reputation for being associated with creeps and perverts.
Don’t talk about either in professional settings.
I mean you could argue that about Emos, or Goths. Its not really true.
I'm sure sex is a large motivator, but you can't be doing sex all the time. When a Goth is dressed up all Goth-y its not because they are horny right now. They are just wanting to look good.
I imagine its the same with the furries, but the difference is, the furries are the butt of most jokes
Both being a goth and being a furry are about way more than clothing and appearance. Goths don’t really have anything to do with furries. I don’t know why you’re bringing them up.
Every furry I have met in real life thought it was a sex thing. Every normal person from the outside looking in thinks it’s a sex thing. Just look at the history of furry magazines and subculture and it is mind-numbingly obvious that it is a sex thing.
Even if it wasn’t a sex thing, would you want to discuss it at work knowing 99% of people will think of it that way?
Its basically clifford using a computer.
