    It’s simple, just ask them what started them down the path to becoming a furry.

    If they got into the fandom via anime, then they probably prefer 1 or rarely 2 (from shows like Beastars or Brand New Animal).

    If they got into it via Disney, 3 or 4.

    If they bring up Pokémon, back away slowly.

      Of course there was always that Robbin Hood movie, but also like did anyone else feel really sad for the red squirrel in Sword and the Stone? Like dude coulda just lived his happy little life out as a squirrel.

          To me that was the peak for storytelling at Disney. Being able to act out a tragic romance in a throwaway gag scene with implications that haunt you into adulthood.

          With Merlin and Mim and a young Arthur being turned into a fish, a squirrel and a sparrow?

          Yes that’s “The Sword in the Stone”.
