Furries are still a thing, as are fursuits. Some anthros find it cute and heartwarming that humans like anthros so much they want to be one, even for a short while and only in costume, whereas others find it highly offensive. The opinion varies based on the individual and culture.

There is a high degree of stigma surrounding inter couples in both the dating and marriage scenes. Dating is seen by more conservative parties as an exploration phase, when the individuals aren’t sure of their attractions and are seeing what they do and don’t like; said parties find it impossible, or at most highly unlikely, that attraction between the two can be genuine. Marriage isn’t prohibited, but it is considered taboo and can ruin even the most highly held individual’s reputation. Sometimes it has the opposite effect and bolsters their reputation, but it depends greatly on the population that knows them. There have been multiple cases of entire families, both human and anthro, disowning and permanently breaking contact with one of their members for dating somebody of the other type. Religious aspects also play a part in the stigmas surrounding dating and marriage.

Hybridizations, especially among anthros that are unlikely to reproduce but occasionally do, is incredibly rare — one in a half-billion is the widely accepted estimate — and are more often than not riddled with emotional, physical, and/or mental deformities and health issues.

Injections and medicines for diseases that can be transferred between humans and anthros are more advanced, due to cross communication being possible. Rabies has been effectively wiped out, though does occasionally pop up. Sexually transmitted diseases are rare, thanks to effective treatment and preventive measures, but still exist and everyone is encouraged to get tested any time they hook up with somebody, even if they’re 100% sure their partner of choice is clean.

There are dedicated hospitals for injuries obtained during sexual intercourse between humans and anthros, as well as specialized medical fields for individual taxonomic families. They help disinfect tears in the vaginal walls or rectum from knotting, cuts from barbed anthros, as well as clawing and bite marks anywhere on the body.

Laws are reworked and written up to account for anthros that are instinctively violently protective of their chosen partners. It is technically illegal to settle these types of conflicts in public in all states or provinces of every country, but these laws are rarely enforced unless it escalates to life threatening.

There exist products for neutralizing, or at least dampening to tolerable levels, the scents of foul-smelling anthros.

Something That Interests Me…

So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about human and anthros, and how a world where they coexist would work. I’ll make a post later on my writing blog, @cappys-writing-corner, detailing all of the stuff I have so far, so suggestions after I make that would be appreciated. I’m trying to compound enough for an actual guidebook, so anything is acceptable. Nothing is too small or too controversial or too inappropriate.
