From a certain point of view, it's weird that society insists that human genitals must be hidden, but anyone who wanted to put pants on animals would be considered crazy. The Wall Street bull sculpture is allowed to have a penis, but a werewolf is sufficiently human-like that even when it has no visible penis, its lack of pants is enough to offend some people. Where is the line drawn?
Vsauce has a great video on why we hide our genitals, which in short is mostly to prevent the spreading of disease caused by human excrement, and emotions like shame preventing people from being butt naked in front of other people.
Though that doesn't really apply in art, and I think it might just be an instinctual disgust.
Depends who you ask, just make sure you don't start off with them furries
Starting with them sounds fine. It's finishing with them that seems alarming to me.
If you finish with them, doesn't that mean you had a good time?
That's why it's alarming. Lol
