(cache)eevee: "a little while ago someone left a comment (amicably) describing fox flux as a "fetish game", and maybe i just get weird vibes from the word "fetish", but that's such a brusque description of a game where you can turn into a cow haha. every nintendo game is like this!"

my unending search for what exactly distinguishes "kink" from "cool mechanic" continues i think the most overtly horny lexy gets in the demo is over the thought of kissing her girlfriend, too. no idea how that factors in

kojima could release a game with a character named Footsie Toekisser and get no more than a few running jokes about it maybe the secret is that you can deliberately get away with anything, as long as no one in-world expresses any opinion on it whatsoever. But that's dumb and sucks actually

and i'm not trying to "get away with" anything anyway; my concrete goal is just, like, accessibility but ultimately lexy thinks turning into stuff is cool and i cannot stop her from expressing that

that's why EA Sports Presents: PGA Tour 2025 should be banned from minors (my fetish is golf and golf related imagery)

I wonder how much of this comes from people's first exposure to the existence of furries was from pop media, where it is basically always portrayed as a weird kink. Probably when they were younger so the brain just never let go of that.

Meanwhile they probably grew up with Big Bird and co, but them heing gumans in suits was nevwr a focus so the connwction takea a little more conscious thought.

getting banned from twelve discords for starting flamewars, all I did was say "are muppets furries?" in general chat and go to lunch

Much simpler explanation I guess: Wild animals don't tend to have the inhibitions we do, so people tend to think of them as perpetually horny.

I think I miss when we ascribed anything weird in a work to consuming hallucinogens instead. It was equally as thought-terminating but it didn't have the same aura of menace, of trying to root out the secret pervert among us. Some people analyze media in a manner indistinguishable from fascists.

There are some, especially in the first before deluxe, but it's otherwise a puzzle game with sexually suggestive dialogue. I wouldn't mind if there were an AO version though or versions in different genres, like racing, RPG, etc, even as minigames.
