I literally admined a top "yiff porn" discord server for 2 years. It had a huge "#Feral-yiff" tag, and it was the only channel I was active in. I wasnt open about zoo but left many clues, and over the years hundreds have DMd me asking or wanting to talk about it. There were probably only 5 or so negative DMs, which I just ignored. The young generation (we required proof of being over 18) are coming in much more accepting and curious of zoo type stuff. I will add that the staff team voted to ban all "Guru, Cub, Loli" type shit but kept Feral and human art
The people that were curious would often ask basic questions like "can you even really fuck dogs like in the feral artwork" or "how can I get my dog to fuck me" "is it illegal?" Shit like that. I was an admin so obviously I didnt go full detail and encourage anything, but I did answer basoc questions.
So to bring it back into context, newer furries seem more accepting and curious of zoo stuff. Older furries "greymuzzles" and the "Therian" types were the ones more opposed to zoo. So were the "basic bitch neko/anime hentai types" . To which I just let them know its not a choice to be zoo, and none of us actively cause harm to animals.
You can be a furry and a zoo, just know how to keep it on the downlow, hang around the more feral - leaning communities, have a feral "sona" etc. Drop hints here and there with the right people, and it can be a really fun time. I will say in my experience, furries are generally very accepting and inclusive bunch. They have to be, after-all the whole goddamn thing is pretty taboo already.
I think an environment like Discord, where you can have 1 on 1 conversations with people leads to a better discussion about zoo stuff. Places like Twitter where people are more "in the public" and find it easier to back up into their defined anti-zoo group is just toxic and leads nowhere. I cant tell you how many DMs I get from people on discord, who were rage capslock typing out anti zoo shit, but then lowkey DMing me saying "hey so do you actually fuck dogs? What is it like? ?
It was a very interesting experiment considering I went in not even being a furry or fully knowing what it was... I just wanted to see artwork of sexy doggies. So I have experience being a zoo, not a furry, in a furry porn discord community and got by juuuust fine. Made plenty of good friends along the way.
