>>101955000The aren't new in the slightest, they date back to like the 80's and 90's, they are primordial internet fiends. You're on the right path though- furry art requires a bare skillfloor (slightly) higher than 90% of fetishes, but the furry fandom encourages higher rates of involvement, and thus higher rates of autism, than any other fetish because of its constant push to be a "community" for whatever godforsaken reason. Throw in the hyper-specific nature of a lot of fetish art (It needs to be this animal with this subfetish and these particular kinks), and you have a community that encourages people to either make their own shit or commission the crap out of artists they like. This results in a community where there are a lot of artists all making work and trying to collect comissions, leading to a lot of competition, and the cream innevitably rises to the crop.
In stark contrast the human side to the macro/micro scene is really almost defined by necessity. Every half-decent artist or writer seems to have one or two "quirks" that you have to adjust to before liking their work. Docop's Spartan armor fetish, Karbo and the worst fetish fantasy world ever created in the history of man, Pogojo's lumpy clay people , Kononiko's shiny latex people, Ochiko's terminal laziness making 99% of his shit copypasted trite hiding the 1% of god-tier content, etc. etc. You learn to put up with everything because at the very fucking least it's not GiantessWhatever charging $20 bucks for some random Z-list pornstar stepping on a camera for 10 minutes in between shouts of YOU LIKE THAT LITTLE MAN?. Mind you this whole fetish is way bigger than most others, so content is slowly but surely rising in quality and quantity (Eskoz in particular feels like a godsend from some parallel universe, seriously his works far outclass everything else out there to such an absurd degree it's not even fair), but it's slow going.
