"Cool" is taking it a bit far.
Huh?
"I do not like a certain subset of humanity because they are different than me and I feel safe punching down at them"
Its not punching down to be uncomfortable with people sexualising animals
Dude, are werewolves the same as wolf-wolves to you? Because they are really not the same at all. It's like saying a lemur is the same as a human. It is cognitively and anatomically very different.
Sure, but I've also seen plenty of content that is along the lines of "dog level of intelligence in caked up human body" (see: that slimy fucking "dog girlfriend" comic the one person posts to the comics community about once a week) and content that is "lets leave the anthro aspects on the shelf today" (Let me check my tag blacklist... pretty sure it's tagged as "feral" on boorus).
Maybe this guy is talking about anthro stuff, or even catgirls, and is just pearl clutching. But there are also some quite concerning subgroups under the furry umbrella (much like many large groups). Just saying.
Yea I obviously agree that when the 'feral' category is sexualized, it is unimaginably gross, at that point you are really just making gross zoophilic art and invading furry spaces with it. But normal 'feral' art is just about cuteness and the intellegence is often scaled to be on-par with humans (think like Fox and The Hound). Do you beleive that version of 'feral' is bad?
It is when you generalize an entire subculture based on an episode of CSI from 1999
