>What made you fall in love with anthros?
It's hard to put it into words but anthros radiate warmth and comfurt fur me. It might be the fluffy texture that invites those feelings fur me.

They bring some color to a bland world and I really enjoy how each species of anthro has their own unique charms but can also present elements of ourselves.

It's a shame that I don't know anyone else who can relate to this besides people on the internet.

Perhaps. I have always been a bit of a people pleaser. But what if I genuinely prefer the newer one? If I didn't like the idea, I wouldn't have implemented it. Besides, there are plenty of times where I have stood my ground on design decisions despite people giving me hate.

I'm asking respectfully, why not? I've always thought it was weird how furries were seen as strange fur being into anthro animals. (I'm not talking about furries who fursuit and all that weird stuff, just the normal ones who like to draw them or whatever) I've always kinda thought that finding anthro animals cute/cool was like, the default? Pretty much everyone likes animals, and making them anthro IMO just makes them super cool and interesting. I kinda struggle to reason why someone wouldn't really like anthros.

The existence of anthropomorphised animals raises a lot of strange questions and second-order consequences - especially so if humans are present as well. You don't have to think about the idea very hard to start reaching questions and conclusions that would frighten or upset normalfaggots, not necessarily just the sexual side of things, although that is always present (I trust that all of YOU have seen those subRubenSimite statistics on furries and porn consumption), but domestication, predation, nature, hierarchies, and the condition of modern Man. I haven't even begun to hammer this thought out yet, maybe some of you know of someplace where this was articulated better or brought to closer towards some sort of conclusion.

The only thing I would say I like better about the older version is the lack of nose, it makes them more unnerving especially in Pill's rendition. But the fur and horns adds more stand out features instead of being amorphous blobs of nothing.

This is why I think anthros are better fur whimsical or fantastical settings where such concerns are irrelevant. When you try to apply them to realistic or serious settings, it brings too many questions, most of which don't have a satisfying or logical answer.

Well, that's nice, but I'm sure that if you're able to recognise what improvements have been made from the original design, you would've, sooner or later, made comparable (but congruent with the original vision) changes to the first one. -Lord Disagreeable Gaslighting Faggot
>This is why I think anthros are better fur whimsical or fantastical settings where such concerns are irrelevant. When you try to apply them to realistic or serious settings, it brings too many questions, most of which don't have a satisfying or logical answer.
Both approaches to the concept are valid, and there is no definite cut-off point between the two interpretations. I'm not sure how to tie this back into the original question, other than speculating about how conscious normies are of this conceptual split in the furry/anthro phenomenon.
>>64258
Hey, sorry about that. No hard feelings. I should have take my meds first befure reading.

I do get what you were trying to say now.

Basically, the existence of anthros brings up questions and the answer is often unsatisfying or clear.

If I had to give a reason why anthros exist in a realistic setting, I would just have anthros be like different race of human like how humans developed different skin tones over many years due to environmental factors. But, instead just skin tone, its like fur and snoot length or something.

That still doesn't really make any sense. Why and how would a race of humans evolve to look like dogs, cats, or any other animal. I think you are better off not putting them into real world scenarios or at least not thinking about it too much.

>>64253
Are you talking about worldbuilding?
>>64267
>>64268
Worldbuilding thread it is.

It's difficult fur me to think fur very long about an our-world-but-there-are-anthros setting without asking where they came from.

I've rambled about it on other imageboards.  What we believe we know of our own prehistory strongly suggests that if there are multiple species of tool-using sophonts, they are competitors fur finite resources and will exterminate one another until only one remains, as our ancestors did to all the other Hominidae, who may only persist today as legends of "trolls" and "goblins," things that looked human from a distance but were in fact implacably hostile enemies.  I call this the Highlander Rule:  there can be only one.

Fur there to be a setting with fuzzy waifu, they have to come from elsewhere.  There's a sci-fi pen-and-paper RPG from the 1970s where one of the alien species is descended from wolves, genetically engineered into sophonts with opposable thumbs as an experiment by ultra-advanced ancient aliens, then dropped on a vaguely Earthlike planet hundreds of light-years coreward and trailing from Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago, then abandoned and furgotten.  Some fanart can still be found showing females of this species depicted in a very waifu-ish light, which is very much against the tone of the rather dark setting.  But at least it's plausible enough to suspend your disbelief fur a space-opera RPG.

Or maybe they're from an alternate world, one that diverged from our timeline during the Eocene, and it was different mammal species that evolved toward sapience.  This raises questions about what their societies and languages would be like.  It also raises questions about how their species and ours would meet in the first place.  Any story involving such concepts would have to touch on that, at the very least, befure anyone could ever meet his fuzzy waifu.

It ain't easy. I say this as a very, very amateur writer who has spent entirely too much time thinking about this at entirely too much depth.

>agenda
The lore fur that particular setting is a bottomless rabbit hole created over decades by dozens of different writers, but one of the deep dark secrets was that there was, and is, in-setting, a vaguely amphibian-ish sapient species that made tools and such but was, due to innate extreme cultural conservatism, mostly stuck at an early Industrial Age state of development, where they had been fur thousands of years.  About a third of a million years ago a freakish mutation resulted in a terrifyingly intelligent supergenius member of this species, who wanted to learn all the secrets of the universe. He was ornery and crazy and stubborn and didn't want anyone telling him what to do, not others of his species, not even physical law. He advanced his own society to become spacefaring, then starfaring. Then he decided that what he needed was helpers who could help him do experiments and stuff, and he made hundreds of clones of himself.  They were all as ornery and stubborn as he was, and everything went to shit pretty quickly. There was a war between him and them while our ancestors were still making flint tools. At some point during all of this someone visited Earth, decided that wolves looked interesting. It is unknown whether this was an experiment fur its own sake or whether the intent was to create genetically engineered wolf super-soldiers, but they got dropped off and abandoned on another planet shortly befure Grandpa Alien and his clones all nuked each other's planets, then vaporized each other's solar systems with weapons that made stars go nova.

Fast furward to the present day, in-setting.  There are multiple human interstellar polities, and multiple star-faring intelligent species. Humans and the genetically engineered wolves have met. They don't get along. There have been centuries of atrocities and backstabbing. Also the wolf-derived species has a lot less sexual dimorphism than humans do, and to humans, who can't smell their pheromones, males and females look alike, adding additional layers of difficulty. Their females do not look much like Florence Ambrose or Loona, nor has any of them ever been heard to say "buh?"

>mythical creatures

It sounds like they're hiding. :(

June Way is a cutie patootie. I wish the series had explored her a bit, shown the audience more of who she is, what she wants, and where she came from, instead of teasing us with her and then killing her off in the cheapest manner possible.
