...that you're a more keen appreciator of the esthetic of anthromorphic animals or non morphic animals with humanized personalities then 90% of "furries".
Immo, most of them have adopted furriness as a way of expressing alienation from the world. they don't want to be thought of to be like anyone except this band of people who are supposed to subscribe to the theory that everyone in it likes everyone else in it.
Many of them have other related issues and are using the sense of "not being themselves" to work on them, rather than really thinking too deeply about animal archtypes and such. I mean, darned near EVERY one of them insists their morphs have lips, and there is almost no reason to think this would be case for "real" anthro'd animals.
I admit, if I sound a little critical, it's because I used to resemble this remark. Now I don't need a communal focus to condone my alienation though :)
