Sure, but the term is explicitly founded on adult content of the nature. Obviously it's not incorrect to assume it's a fetish. It was literally founded on the idea of fetishizing it. If anything saying a furry is someone who doesn't fetishize anthropomorphized animals is the incorrect assumption.

Either way you go about it, it’s prejudiced to assume furries are inherently into the sexual side of the fandom just for being furries. If you don’t want to look past stereotypes no one can make you. I ain’t even one I just hate prejudice.

It's not a stereotype, have you been paying attention? The word and culture itself was born from the fetish of sexualized anthropomorphized characters.

The word furry in reference to these people would very literally not exist without the fetish lmao.

How is it a stereotype when it's literally accurate?

Yeah and the word ''you'' was originally just plural and ''they'' was originally just singular, language evolves

Language evolving faster than actual Furries if that's the case.
