That's an interesting question. I think in the real world, being a furry is perceived as an off-putting fetish because anthropomorphic animals are imaginary. In a world where anthropomorphic animals were real, I think it would be relatively common for people to be attracted to them, so your character would probably just be considered normal.

Playing that character still makes you a furry. Sorry.

I'm not a furry for playing a tabaxi! I mean, I very much am a furry, but playing a tabaxi has nothing to do with it

You say that, but people being attracted to the same gender in the real world are still demonized. It wasn't that long ago (and is still an issue in some places) that interracial relationships were looked down on and even illegal.

So eventually it would be considered normal, but I think it would take a while.

That will really depend on how xenophobic the setting is. If it's anywhere near IRL level interspecies attraction will be stated to be OK only in some places and will be frowned upon by many
