Yes, it's also a sex thing. I've seen someone in the comments say "sex positive", but I wouldn't call it that. The furry fandom is a place where a gay or a bisexual person can express their sexuality without persecution, like often happens in places like the United States or Poland, but... It's not really sex positivity, rather it's debauchery. So much debauchery. Which harkens back to escaping into the ideal world without consequences; you can have copious amount of sex and/or sexualise as much as you want without any of the usual responsibilities or consequences that comes with sex.

Putting on a costume doesn't eliminate the consequences of sex. 🤦‍♂️

And I mean, it sounds like the most experience you have with furries is as customers for art. I can only imagine you specialize in some kind of kink art to only have furry customers and only see debauchery.
