Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.

It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they've been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it's getting more posts recently.

That's exactly how it is. Bullying LGBTQ+ is shunned upon these days, so bigots are redirecting their hatred to the next thing on the list they don't understand, furries

Hey, I want to clarify, I'm not looking to bully or harass the furry community or any of its members, I'm a furry myself, and I made this meme simply because I thought it was intresting how common anthropomorphic animals are in animation

All good with you, also agree it's interesting to see anthro characters getting more screen time lately. What disappoints me is the creeping tide of hate, one can't bring up the topic without trolls starting a fire
