Gotta give more appreciation to the FtM TGTF arts out there

It goes from: what the fuck is this...
To: where can I find more.
Or at least an easier way to toggle NSFW. If toggling NSFW is as simple as changing sort type, it would be nice.
That's why I rarely implement most of my worldbuilding ideas, only ones that are relevant to the story.
I know it's not the most elegant solution (it's practically the goofy/pluto dichotomy), but in my story, anthro animals and feral animals are a completely different species.
Every animals has two variants, anthros and ferals. Both are completely different species, and the anthros treat ferals like we treat animals. With that, it's not weird for anthros to hang feral heads, though anthro deer hanging a head of a feral deer would be a little jarring, like humans hanging the head of a monkey.
To be fair I usually take a more handwaved approach to worldbuilding. I focus my story more on its moral value as opposed to its worldbuilding. It doesn't help that the few stories I write right now are about either a single anthro in a world of humans, so anthro worldbuilding are nearly nonexistent, or a simple and straightforward aesop-like story with very few worldbuilding.
I don't even need to be federated with anyone
If I'm not mistaken, Reddit plans to develop a new chat system, sort of. I remember back when I still use reddit in new reddit, there was a new chat with all my old chats put in some sort of legacy chat categories.
Maybe that legacy chat is what they're planning to nuke? Even then I think it's stupid. I can't even see the difference between the new and old chat.
Don't even think about it
This is too adorable for me.
Awooo. I am here ( ＾ω＾ )
Thank you, Wander. This account's been stuck in limbo for a week. Glad that it's eventually resolved.
Because it's the most handwaived approach, basically ignoring the entire question.
While yes, apes and humans exist, both are certainly more different from each other than a fox and yet another fox that walks on two legs. While can be summarized as such, humans aren't just monkeys that walk on two legs-- theres more differences to both which the "anthros and ferals are the same species" approach usually ignore.
Not to mention, it's kind of unrealistic to expect all animal to evolve so they look like anthro. Even if all species eventually gain sentience, realistically, not all their bodies would look like anthro, just like how not all caniform (canine-like animal) look the same.
It's also kind of iffy. Imagine how the anthros would feel about ferals of a similar species as them. Imagine how it'd feel to meet an unintelligent four-legged cat as a sapient two-legged cat. It seems weird, especially if the story backround is dark (maybe less so for less serious story, like children story or comedy).
This doesn't mean that the "anthros and ferals" approach is wrong-- I mean I used it. It also doesn't mean the author is lazy. There is more to worldbuilding than just species and it's not impossible the author wanted to focus on another areas of worldbuilding instead. It can also be used brilliantly as the base concept is kind of vague, so you can build on top of it.
