How come older people like to act like furries are this outlandish idea but the thought of being with a mermaid has been around a lot longer (sh.itjust.works)

My brother in Christ, werewolves existed for at least 150 years and shape shifting goes back hundreds more. A beast that becomes a person... What could that possibly be for? A person becoming a beast is easy and the not weird part of folk history that didn't upset any kind of established morals. Violence is a part of life. Hot wolf dick that escapes into the night after making sweaty sheets? More difficult to keep as an oral tradition. Well, in stories at least.

Egyptian and Mesopotamian ruins are full of furry pics, it's literally the oldest fandom in the world.
