there's not enough studies [thanks Big Daddy] but there is one that's self report. 11% of men and 3% of women agree w/the statement "I'm addicted to porn". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7044607/ i don't think 2k people is a good enough representation, so i'd say the actual percentage of porn addicts is likely lower.... however, the rate of children addicted to pron is going up! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/mar/10/porn-study-survey-uk-teenagers-addicted 1 in 10 kids say they feel addicted to porn ... so 10% of the male population will be addicted to porn in the future if we dont do something about it.
remember: if furries develop many of their first fetishes from cartoons (EG> inflation, feet/paws, feeding, skunk shit, etc), imagine what these young boys are developing when they're exposed to more and more casually violent porn. These kids gon be fucked up one way or another.

psychological & neurological takes both fail to see the full picture in this case even if they both lend insight. porn addiction is as real as an individual & their community finds it to be.
literally every interest changes brain structure & the reward system. porn happens to be particularly good at it as it taps into something that has been tremendously advantage for the evolutionary proliferation of humanity; the desire to fuck.
if somebody wants to dedicate their entire life to gooning, isn't distressed by the financial & social consequences, & isn't causing harm to others by doing so, all the more power to them.
if somebody can't stop gooning, and doing so starts to cause problems for the people around them or theirself, and they would like to quit- then the framing of an 'addiction' can prove helpful in changing that behavior.
how people tend to see this act of gooning, though, fundamentally relies on their ideology *SNIFF* as to if it is or isn't a problem.
in summary: there are neurological consequences to consuming porn, just as with any other act of consumption. porn may more effectively change brain structure than other interests as it emulates an activity that is incredibly important to our species' survival. it is an objective truth that porn changes neurology, but whether or not excess porn consumption is an 'addiction' isn't an objective truth so much as a reflection of the values of the individual and those around them.
the real takeaway here is that @Stratovorious doesn't want to give up his hourly ritual of gooning to furry muscle TF, and therefore has ideological reasons to refute that it could be an addiction.

Ah there it is, my daily factoid that makes me raise my fist to heavens and scream "Why, God, why? Andrea Dworkin was right about all this!"
It's wild to me how sex is important cause it can make more humans and helps humans form relationships, but the male sex drive can get welded to things like cumming on faces or dragons fucking cars or murdering women via strangulation, which have fuck all to do with reproduction and relationships.
Also I'll never stop laughing/internally screaming at all the leftists who yell about decolonization but are fine with MindGeek Inc colonizing their erotic imaginations.
The Furry subculture and this website provide an interesting look into all this, that's for sure. It's like everytime I think something couldn't possibly exist, bam, it pops up on Kiwifarms.

If you want a compelling argument against intelligent design, there it is. The brain is an extremely complex machine and it's very easy for wires to get crossed when it comes to pleasure and/or reward pathways. So long as the man in question knocks up a woman and passes his genes along, evolutionarily speaking what he's attracted to makes no difference.
Thankfully, this kind of behavior is always going to be a tiny minority because past a certain level it selects against itself and the freak in question is automatically removed from the gene pool. Think "jacking off to anthropomorphic dragons but still fucking women" vs. "refusing to fuck anything that's not a dragon". Of course, heavy use of porn is correlated to difficulty or even inability to achieve orgasm during sex (and in some cases full-on impotence) so... those also tend to throw themselves out of the gene pool.

I think that fetishes get commercialized and develop into industries, which re-enforces them and keeps them from dying out.
In the beforetimes, a man who sought out diaper-sex and couldn’t get it from the people in his life would probably have the fetish retreat back into the dark, cobwebby corners of his brain. But now he can go online and theres an entire bespoke industry ready to cater to him and take his money and sell him all the diapers he can afford. Might as well troon him out while you're at it, so you can sell him a wig and HRT.
Having "regular" sex just requires another willing person, so it can't get commercialized in the same way. Having a pup-play session in VRChat requires you to buy thousands of dollars of equipment and costumes.
Furry is interesting because it's porn
/fetish stuff, and capitalism/consumerism stuff all crashing into each other in a crucible of autism, mean tweets, and used diapers. The commercial aspect is gasoline on the dumpster fire.
Furries are the ultimate consoomers. Con-soom-awooo-ers, if you will.

If I believed in God, I would've responded that he must've had a good reason for making human brains this way. God works in mysterious ways, etc.

There's nothing really surprising about any of this; the ability to walk down strange paths (and to perhaps reach dead ends) is a necessary consequence of the ability to navigate novel paths. Intelligence itself is a mediating layer between stimulus and response which allows the response to be rewired in novel ways, and this process cannot fulfill it's purpose without potential for error. You will find various degrees of aberrant behavior among every intelligent creature; dolphins for example are renowned worldwide for their unusual proclivities (such as raping divers, or killing divers and then raping them.) Waow they're just like us! On the other hand a very simple creature (like a web-weaving spider) will display no aberrant behaviors for the simple reason that it simply has no capacity to be aberrant; it will live the life set out for it by uncountable eons of evolution compelled hopelessly by (but neither with any will to resist) it's firmware.
It really should be no surprise then that someone with flexible enough thinking to oversee the manufacture of microprocessors should also equally have the potential to become a completely deranged sexfiend (see pamperchu.)
Tangent; it must be noted that for as perverse as our Faustian diaper-eating crack-smoking autists can get, there also seems to be a 'valley of depravity' on the lower end of the gradient of human functioning (e.g. the cultural practices of the semi-anthro bush-ape native to Australia —a real horror show
)

I really don't think it is. pfp doesn't use his usual character and Piche would be utterly incapable of not.

You could probably check by seeing how many results there are when you look up "feral" and how many there are when you look up "feral -mlp". "mlp" is an alias to the "my_little_pony" tag and the - means that you want to exclude it from the search. The frontend doesn't show a precise result number though so you'd have to write something up that uses their API to do those types of analytics.

Mark Merlino's Memorial was today. At the point of me viewing the stream live, there were 240 people watching, whilst there was an hour of delay before anyone spoke. Some tweets where posted from the Prancing Skiltaire's Xitter during the event, including this gem:
the look of "shit is going south", as throughout the stream there are a LOT of audio hiccups. The first person to speak is Merlino's "husband", seen in this photo who refuses to call himself such, and instead states they were life partners; "like a pair of foxes".

I looked at the picture after reading that description. I don't know why, but it made it funnier to me for some reason. Imagine being gay and mourning the loss of you gay husband, and saying "we were a couple of fag foxes".

Live streaming a funeral is tacky but the people who show up to a funeral in fursuits are worse.
Also the dude lounging in the background. These people look like they're going to a con not attending a funeral. It gets worse the more I look.

The way the troon is looking into the camera making a face like Jim from The Office captures how I'd feel if I was at this memorial.
