Memes. Furries. Anime. Where do they come from? And where do they go?

Nobody knows who they were, or, what they were doing, but their legacy remains here, into the living rock of, Stonehenge


The furry fandom is probably Disney's doing, with Robin Hood, TaleSpin and more recently Zootopia being particularly notable examples. I mean really, just look at how long time it didn't take before people started making gemsonas after Steven Universe happened, the three examples i mentioned probably had a very similar effect to newcomers. :v

I think stories of antromorphised animals is a thing quite a lot older than Disney - just think of all the fables to begin with.

Fakedit: Looking at the wiki entry for fables it turns out that, like with so many other evils, the culprit responsible was Ancient Egypt:

What's gemsonas (and what is their relation to that Steven Universe person), though? People who are actually an interesting-looking-but-ultimately-inert compression of minerals and/or sap?

Shook is kinda right, though. Furry fandom as we know it only became a thing after a few key super talented artists started doing anthropomorphic characters and art. Like goddamn Doug Winger, an engineer who actualy worked for NASA once, and worked in pretty much any important toy company after that. Guy basically spawned the furry fandom as we know it with his hobby art, which he sold to people for a fair amount of monies.

I bet he was exposed to Ancient Egypt alien artifacts while working at NASA.

It all makes sense now.

It's kinda hilarious to look at once you get over the shock. Like those "you laugh you lose" challenge videos, but with furry porn.

Its specially hilarious when you consider the fact that the guy was a really talented engineer who worked in the design of a certain part of the space shuttle's wingtail.
The guy who drew furries with huge gonads and mamaries for fun is partly responsible for getting some crews into space.

Not too sure about that. Regular furry porn tends to hold some sort of standard it rarely dips below.
What you need to look for is furry fetish porn. Especially underrepresented or fringe genres where not many talented people draw it forcing some not quite good artists (who may or may not be afflicted with some mental issue) into taking things in their own hands (paws?).
And the results are often... [REDACTED].

I almost clicked on the link, but then I remembered where it's supposed to go and stopped myself before it was too late.
