I'll go ahead and out myself here as being somewhat of a furry/scalie- but only with a few specific frnachises. I DO occasionally find myself drwn to certain anthro characters, not as a general thing, but just certain ones that appeal to me as a CHARACTER, not because of their animal/anthro qualities.

I've also got a high respect for some of the artists and writers who write/draw fan-pics/fics of some of my favorite characters, because they ARE talented people, and I can appreciate their works both for the subjects being depicted and for the time, effort, and talent that went into them. I don't really "get my jollies" from any of it (see my post regarding porn in the "no on social media" thread in this section) but I DO appreciate it for its own sake as art or literature. Three years ago, I would have never even been interested in that sort of thing, but having found some really good ones on Deviant Art and fan-fiction.net, I've come to appreciate and respect the works of these folks, and I have no qualms about adding myself into the ranks, if it simply means that I feel "attracted" to the qualities of certain "furry" or "scaly" characters.

Also, I think I married a human (gijinka!) version of Mikey. My other half is so much like my favorite turtle it's almost scary at times....

Mona Lisa is the most popular character for all those into Scalies, You'll find tons of Fan Art, Which also includes some NSFW.
