Ewww! That is legit bestiality/Zoophilia in my opinion. A feral adult horse getting sucked by another adult feral horse with consent is not bestiality/zoophilia to me, It's legit more a fictional mating fantasy, especially if you are fantasize about yourself "being" the horse, which is far different to me from a human "sexually abusing a horse".

Feral Discourse by the younger and newer furries has been extremely ridiculous these days to me, especially since this was considered acceptable before the 2020s and that many prude non-furries would argue that furry porn or yiff promotes bestality/zoophilia in general regardless of if they are mating on two legs or four legs or what type of genitals they have.

Also, fuck the Loli/Shota/Cub comparison they say! That is nothing like having sex with a child or having sex with a thousand year old child. That is legit pedophilia to me when feral on feral is legit adult characters of adult ages and maturity mating with each other like on the Discovery Channel.

One furry I like creeps me out with the human on feral art, but will only cancel that artist if they have been confirmed to be a zoophile in real life and the human on feral bear has mildly got a pass for me slightly due to "Baldur's Gate 3" as long as it's not in real life and you are not sexually atracted to real bears in real life. Bear anatomy also gets kind of tricky due to standing on two legs since Baloo technically counts as feral if naked in Jungle Book but anthro if wearing clothes and flying an airplane in Tailspin.

Also, Harkness Test! Not technically legal advice from a lawyer on obscenity but still good on the subject of sexual consent between humans and creatures or creatures on creatures. Harkness Test says since many dragons in pop culture are very intelligent and can talk, It's okay for an adult human or humanoid to have sex with a dragon as long as they can both sexually consent.

author of the game here -- i hope you don't mind if i reply to your comment, as i was notified about it. :P

i personally don't have super strong feelings about human/feral content. i don't think you mentioned human/anthro pairings in your comment but as an example, i don't really see much of a distinction between human/feral and human/anthro pairings. it's all kind of the same -- sapient animals are sapient animals. (of course, some feral content is about non-sapient animals, but i do not think i would ever make a game along those lines).

i will say a lot of feral content is deeply unappealing/gross to me, but you know, that's life. i don't think it's doing any concrete harm and so i just don't have strong opinions on it (besides, maybe, "ew, i don't want to see that."). perhaps the deeper distaste i have for a lot of different kinds of pornography is the sheer amount of misogyny (and sometimes other kinds of bigotry) present in it.

this is the primary reason i avoid human/feral pairups in my own games: i think they often play into misogynistic ideas of domination and similar. for example, a human man on mare could be read as a human male exerting power over a powerless animal. similarly, a stallion on human woman could be read as a tiny female dominated by a huge penis, or what have you.

i don't really like these tropes and ideas and, although i have definitely consumed lots of misogynistic porn in my lifetime, i strive to do better with these longer term video game projects of mine. i don't think it is necessarily impossible to make thoughtful art about human/feral pairings, but it would have to be done carefully.

that said, i have found video games are a pretty decent medium for the expression of consent. specifically, video games are an art form that can actually refuse to respond to a player's command. a drawing can't refuse your gaze, but a video game character can refuse your (in-game) attempts to have sex or whatever. i think that a human/feral pairing could therefore be done thoughtfully by a video game. ymmv. it is fair enough to be entirely disgusted by the concept!

Well said, I totally get what you are saying. You have an amazing point that not only a human woman having sex with a horse is not only wrong and immoral because it's bestiality, but it's also wrong because it's super sexist as well.

Kind of like how the plot of King Kong of a white woman who is in love with a giant kaiju gorilla is not only bad because it is bestiality, but it's also super sexists and racist as well.
