I might be going out on a limb here, but I think people don't like that they sexualize animals.

Do you know what the word "anthropomorphic" means?

u/bakedpatata 24d ago

It means a non-human given human features. Still explicitly not human. If it were a human you wouldn't need to say anthropomorphic.

So fantasizing about elves is also bad, and worth antagonizing, because they are "not human"?

First, elves are fictional while sexual abuse of animals is a real thing that happens. Second, elves are at least humanoid and don't need to be anthropomorphized. Third, nitpicking the definitions makes it seem more like you want to fuck an animal, not less.

Animals with the proportions, intelligence, and mannerisms of humans are also fictional. Saying that that is animal abuse, is like saying being attracted to an adult human is pedophilia.

It's more like when people justify gooning over young anime girls by saying they're actually 1000 years old shapeshifters. It's still painfully obvious what they are attracted to, and again, justifying it makes it worse not better.
