I still maintain all furries are zoos in denial.Very carefully. Furries have been some of the most vocal anti-zoos i've interacted with online (no, I haven't touched twitter lol). It's sad meeting really great people that think you are amazing but then say how they would physically assault a zoo. I think there are a lot more Zoos in the fandom than people realize and from what I've heard, Zoos have been a foundational part of the fandom. It does suck living a double life so to speak, so I really interact with non-zoo/non-ally Furries infrequently.
This absolutely makes a ton of sense to me.I think there is definitely a good portion that have had those thoughts or fantasy, but I don't think all of them by any means. I do find it interesting how interested everyone is in those generally sexualized spaces about the knot and yiff in general. It's almost like making it anthropomorphic allows them to bypass the whole potential guilt/shame and what some could view as the 'animals cant consent' fallacy. So perhaps the ones that aren't are Zoo-adjacent?
I feel its a 'punching down' culture, Furries do get shit on for what they like and so they punch down on Zoos to make a 'better than thou' situation. Which is quite dumb since they're unwittingly attacking the core of their own fandom and culture lol.
nice strategy ^^I've simply made friends with other furs into ferals and found out which were zoos, sticking with them ive found em to be great friends cause they're nonjudgmental on like, everything lol
But of course I don't announce it, and it takes a >lot of trust, hell even these days depending what partnof the web its hard to even say you're into feral arts so, its definitely not easy, but i've found my kind of people to stick around
You summed it up amazingly, some people spend way too much time in their own cesspool of "like-minds."Hate me for saying it but all these wierdo terms why do we need a special laber for every imaginable combo of desires . I am a guy who likes being treated a a woman in bed , sometimes, also i love my dog , and we have sex when ever we can, i dont need a special label to make me feel better. Even ppl and groups who are marginalized by the rest of society they find ways to hate each other... furrys hate zoos and so on, ppl have waaay to much time on therr hand.
I also like to keep that level of compartmentalization in my life. I like to do the zoo thing and the furry thing. Sometimes together but more often apart. I find as long as I am careful about mixing the two I don’t run into too many problems.I consider myself a ‘zoofur’, however, my zoo side is largely a secret to my furry friends. I kinda just keep those sides of me separate. I don’t necessarily think that is a bad thing, it’s just part of me.
History has proven that he who points a finger and attacks and accuses someone of something is normally the one who is at fault and guilty of doing that exact act or thing. In this case I do agree with you that people who out ZOOs are guilty of being ZOO themselves but are in denial and struggling with who they are. Always remember that he who points a finger at another normally has three fingers pointing right back at themselves.I still maintain all furries are zoos in denial.
They will deny it until the end of days simply because they don't wanna be outed but i really feel like they are. They have either done it or thought about doing it.
Makes quite a bit of sense honestly.History has proven that he who points a finger and attacks and accuses someone of something is normally the one who is at fault and guilty of doing that exact act or thing.

It seems my original reply to you got eaten, so hello! Grats on your first post.I'm honestly trying HARD to keep my Furry self and my Zoo self as away as I can since a lot of the fandom is... flat out CRUEL against zoos.
I'm not comfortable or even confident about coming out as a zoo in the community at all.
Also Hi! This is my first post on this site! ^^
That makes me furious, but also about par for the course. E6/BD has to make its advertisers happy, and that means deplatforming us and letting people shit on us with no defense.Anyone who doesn’t dip their toes into e6, an image on there blew up a week ago or so with a furry burning a zeta flag saying zoos aren’t welcome. Even the porn side of the community isn’t accepting. The couple users brave enough to stand against the tide were given swift bans
