to be honest, you're right. there's a reason there are so many furries in the West but so few in Japan. Disney cartoons normalized furry characters as being "good for kids", and we've all seen the result of this.
i bet it was all the retarded Christian parents who were screeching that having a REAL GIRL in a cartoon is corrupting children, but having a furry bimbo is a-ok as long as it's not an actual human. then they wonder "what went wrong" when their kids develop disturbing fetishes years later. well, at least saved your children from getting a boner to real women, eh?

I'm not convinced that furshit is the root of weird-ass fetishes. You hear lots of stories about fetishes happening from non-furry sources like inflation and willy wonka or feet and cinderella, I think furry is just another weird fetish by itself that comes from overconsumption of media at a young age. Furries as a group have been a thing since the 60s, but the internet is what really lit that dumpster fire because like all fringe groups, the internet gives them a place to group up and it magnifies their autism.
It's only gonna get worse, now that you have parents babysitting their infants with ipads. I expect a surge of /d/-tier fetishfags to wash over the web over the next 10 years.

at least they make a bit less furshit cartoons nowadays, or at least less furry bait characters.
in the 80s-90s it was the heyday of furry cartoons and other media, hence why so many millennials grew up with this fetish and why Sonic community is so deviant.
I think what happened was children having strict parents and/or just being limited to any sexual imagery at young age. then they get exposed to all the furry cartoons which become a "safe" territory for them to give their sexual desire a way (something like sublimation). then it basically ingrains in their unassuming child subconscious, and you get what you get.
I think nowadays with less furshit cartoons, easier attitudes to porn and easier access to sexual imagery in general via internet, kids wont stick to furshit as much but probably will develop other fetishes.

Why do people like this exist on this board? We're all adults and we're all still playing video games. Labeling some games "for kids" and others not smacks of teenage wannabe-adult posturing and is itself posturing. Just get the fuck out of here with that pathetic bullshit. Literally only a handful of well-known platformers like Yoshi's Story were made specifically with children in mine.

It's just a type of virtue signaling, try-hard when you're in places where people like or jack off to worse things but are afraid to find even the least furry things like Felicia. Even horsefuckers try to distance themselves from furries despite having no difference.
Japanese furries even have their own conventions and fursuits, it's just that anime degeneracy already outshines and dwarfs their autism, while in the west furries are infamous and cartoon autism is usually in the confines of places like deviantart, tumblr, or /co/

For some reason, I grew in the 90s as a Sonic fan but always disliked/didn't care furry cartoons and jumped on the DBZ train as soon as possible before forgetting about anthropomorphic characters entirely.
But I mostly kept with the cartoons and game though, I didn't touch the comics. Weren't the Sonic comics the root of all evil?

>Weren't the Sonic comics the root of all evil?
If you mean of furries, no, they were always there, they just got worst in the 90's/early 00's.
If you mean of Sonic, you could make the argument that Sonic autism stemmed from the comics and weirdos like Ken Penders, and clash between canons.
Sly has its own lore that had potential to spark a similar type of autism, so I wonder about an alternate universe where it became more successful.

>> No.7687387

>>7687371
Yeah I guess, Disney stopped making furries and the garish production needs are now sustained by Japan, so there aren't as many furries anymore and the most vocal ones always have Sonic or Crash avatars.
If Sonic didn't exist and Sly exploded, there would probably have been a similar community forming around it, with its own extended universe and fanfiction wars, the 2000s were more about the means of communication than the names of the fandoms.
Crash is goofy and doesn't play the lore game so it wouldn't stick anyway.

>> No.7687425

>so there aren't as many furries anymore
There are, but just not as much funny animal media as in the 90's, plus there are more things easier to hate than people drawing cartoons.
>If Sonic didn't exist and Sly exploded, there would probably have been a similar community forming around it, with its own extended universe and fanfiction wars, the 2000s were more about the means of communication than the names of the fandoms.
I think the biggest difference is that Sonic symbolized a rivalry against Nintedo and thus was really pushed and promoted everywhere. Sly I think came out at the tail end of 3D platformers and thus had tougher time getting enough traction, but it was still pretty good while it lasted.
I get the thought mainly because every kid drew their dumb Sonic recolor OC back then, while Sly practically justified it considering the untold number of ancestors that are just him in different outfits.

Yes, they do. There are tons of shmup ports for PS2 (though a lot were Japan & Europe only), along with Atari / Midway / SNK / Namco / Sega etc. arcade compilations of varying quality. As for "weird obscure jap shit" - there are tons of simple 2000 games (again, mostly Japan & Europe only). Also Mr Moskeeto & its sequel, Stretch Panic, Katamari Damacy & its sequel, Under the Skin, Road Trip, etc. There are thousands of PS2 games, do some digging.
