The sample they used is likely not representative of the whole fandom; they only interviewed 334 furries in the study, from a fandom made of millions of people. And the participants were all male, too.
...I can't be the only one who actually reads these things, right?
2000 is considered the perfect size for surveys. Anymore and you're wasting resources on diminishing margins of error.
Well out of curiosity I checked the reddit furry sex groups, hundreds of thousands of members. But sure, the study is wrong.
As long as they aren't into fucking animals or children, I don't give a fuck.
I didn't mean to offend you furries, but the sexual aspect is a huge part of it, not sure why you are in denial. https://furscience.com/research-findings/appendix-1-previous-research/summer-2020/
OK but that's very, very fucking different from saying that furries are attracted to animals like you originally said, and that's what is really fucking offensive, especially considering that pretty much anyone who gets outed as an actual zoophile is swiftly exiled from the furry fandom
