Thanks for elaborating on the perpetual childhood issue. It's very hard to find discussion of this anywhere. A friend's stepson has slipped down the furry hole. He's gay and stubbornly resists any effort to lead an adult life. Won't stay in college, won't hold down a job. Just wants to play video games all day and play furry. Lives with his bio mom. I noticed years ago how gay/bi the subculture is. I wonder why it's not more attractive to young women? There are certainly plenty of them stuck in permanent childhood--aided and abetted by the trans movement which encourages children to put off or avoid puberty.
Worth noting that people in general are delaying traditional "adult" milestones, and it's been going on for sometime: even the idea of "adolescence" itself is of recent appearance.
Do you think these dynamics are lessened for furries who are into generalized anthropomorphic animals (like say, thinking dragons are cool) and/or adult oriented cartoons, rather than being fans of specific childhood cartoons? Consider various anime shows, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss as adult-oriented cartoons as well, which seem to have "furry" elements, yes?

I forgot about those. That is a good question too, I am sorry I don’t have an answer right now.
