My work is not furry art, and this is why I may be wrong. (Patreon)

Hi guys, I felt the need to express myself today about the topics I'm using in my story. This is both good for me to vent my mind and set expectations for the future.
Since I started this Patreon page almost a year ago now, I used many pet girls in my stories. You've seen almost everything so far… Cat girls, pony girls, raccoon girls, bunny girls, fox girls, doggy girls… So there is no secret about it, I love girls and cute animals. Mix them together, and they turn into adorable creatures.
That said, in every single instance, we are talking about humans wearing animal costumes, sometimes just a pair of ears, and in many cases, a full latex suit. That, too, is not a secret. Cat ears are cute, and latex is sexy. Mix them together, and we have something beautiful.
Now we have a mix of girls, animals, ears, and latex. What's not to love about those creatures?
What about the title of this post, then? I do not consider all the above as being furry. I do like furries, even been involved with them at some point, but there is a reason why I am no longer part of that community (for the past 20 years, I guess), and simply put, it was a lack of interest. I didn't recognize myself in that community. Is it hypocritical to use certain animal traits for my characters, then? Maybe… but the point is, my characters are humans to the bone. They evolve in the real human world and experience human challenges. They don't turn into feral beasts at night, perhaps Mia will turn into a grey lion in the future because of her crazy SusceptGear, and they are not genetically shaped animals, like Tony the tiger or Cheetara.
I know some of my patrons are furry. They push me to write more animal content, which is very cool. However, I'm willing to bet that they totally understand that what I'm writing can be interpreted both ways. If you think it's good enough to be furry, go right ahead. If you consider that it's not, that's cool too. I'm part of the latter category, and it doesn't prevent me from understanding the other clan.
That said, if you know me, you know that I'm never shying away from any topics, and if I bump into an idea that I find cool, I'll exploit it. Like for Christmas, you guys ALMOST ended up with a story of a real female cat who could shapeshift into a sexy-horny cat girl. (leave comments below if you'd like to see that) … But I just wanted to say, don't expect a story with a fox girl with real fur and real ears anytime soon. Maybe in a dream or something, I've done a small scene with Vix turning into a real latex fox in Clara's dream, but I don't foresee going too far outside that. (And now that I said that, I think that Dive could be a perfect series to do such a thing.)
I think this short text's conclusion would be; if you like what I do, take it the way you prefer. To me, my stories are about human emotions, and I use animal elements to make them cuter. (because we know Kitty is the cutest, she says it all the time) But at the end of the day, I don't feel I'm part of the furry community, even though I think it's super cool if people like to be part of it. It's great to have a place we can call home. My home is pretty much in front of my keyboard and widescreen TV where I work on my texts. ;)
Have a good evening everybody!
