antros are antros
they are not human
BY THE WAY
Rito are actually evolved Zora.
is mee6 supressing you too?
What makes a fantasy race not an anthro, in your opinion?
i seen that blip off for me
You can say that they're their own race, but from a design standpoint they're absolutely anthropomorphized birds
they are literally a different intelligent species
In my opinion, they would be, by all definition, a form of x animal.
if a furry is a "anthropomorphized animal" then it would logically need to have a real-life counter part for this definition to work, i.e., fox-furry, horse-furry, etc
Hylians arent even human, they are more akin to elves
doesnt need to exist in real life to count
See: Dragons
but then it leaves out shit like dragons
it's all semantics
what is a furry even?
I actually associate Hylians more as humans, and the Zora as a type of sea elves.
OK, but that doesn't mean they aren't furry.
@Schedrevka define furry
anthropomorphized animal
so it needs a real life counterpart?
different species imo
So, would you argue there's a distinction from an animal with human qualities
Ewoks are a different species imo
And a human with animal qualities?
Their real life counterpart is bird
as are Zora and Rita
They don't have a real life counterpart. They're given their wings by magic.
If you just took a picture of a rito and divorced it from its context in Zelda they would fit in perfectly well within furry shit
So if I took any furry character and gave it lore it would stop being furry?
humans dont have to be the only default intelligent life
If an Ewok is into humans and dresses like a human is that Ewok the equivalent to a furry?
at what point does something become furry? using rito as an example
is it the feathers, the beak, the talons on the toes
Furry defines a fetish isn't it?
They also absolutely have human form, not chicken legs or anything like that
Including hair.
Some of the Ninas from breath of fire are directly related to birds, are they furries?
The intent is what matters
More a subculture based on a common interest than just a fetish
There's lots of furry shit that isn't sexual, even if there is a TON of sexual furry shit
