I really really don't like

"Working up the courage" is not called "escalation". Those people who choose to live as furry as a means of circumventing taboos they do not want to break are only doing so because they are fully aware of what those taboos are about. Escalation however happens when you lose that awareness, or when you never had it to begin with and are trying new things. "Courage" does not make you lose that awareness. Courage would make them feel more comfortable with their interests, and further strengthen their self-esteem. For someone to start abandoning their values and to start breaking taboos they held onto before, the exact opposite of that would be needed.

Why would a zoophile care about societal norms lol. Being a furry is already heavily straying from what most people would consider normal. I doubt being "openly furry" is easy, I would imagine many furries have a difficult time with social interaction.
Personally, I think that as long as "furryness" is not a pervasive aspect of someone's life (to the point where they would literally walk around dressed in a fursuit at home for example), it should still be considered as normal. It's only when people actually get into fursona and shit like that that it's actually scary from my point of view.

...I don't think anyone was disputing that point xD

I think it's a commonly known fact that there are much more zoophiles and pedophiles that remain passive, than there are active ones. The difference between the numbers there is not even remotely small, as such I definitely also do believe that one can expect a person with sexual interests straying from the norm to still care about societal values.

Maybe, but in that case they would probably not be a furry lol

Anyone who pretends that being a furry is anything other than sexual is deluding themselves. Look at this recent study, which looks at habits among the furry community. Hot take: 99% of male furries have some amount of sexual motivation for being a furry: https://link.springer.com/article/10...508-018-1303-7

Furries with ETIIs would experience both sexual attraction to anthropomorphic animals and sexual arousal by fantasizing about being anthropomorphic animals

Keyword here is anthropomorphic. I can't speak for others but I was never disputing this point. But the keyword here is antropomorphic. They ain't about to go out and fuck your dogs.

Does this....change anything? No, not really.

Do you have any sexual motivation to present as a male human? (Apo is only assuming you do)

And...?
And you have sexual motivation to be a human, right?
So why you hate furries, they just fuck with other furries.
Or you're a latent furry and secretely want to fuck another furry, so you hate them because they want to take all those sexy female furries?

We're arguing about whether we should be worried about a connection to bestiality, and associated questions.

[Efekannn02]
