Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wikipedia is my new best friend.
Thanks, Jars. I suppose lingering looks at Nightcrawler are plushie then.
Hmm.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Heh. You do know that the Disney version of Robin Hood is one of the most important reference sources among the furries, right?
That's okay, David, I wasn't using the cherished innocence of my childhood anyway.
Edit: although ita's link makes it seem not quite so bad. I was under the impression that furries were first and foremost a fetish community, but apparently it's bigger than that.

Well, apparently not, unless you're a closet furry.

Heh. I knew I should have tried to rephrase that...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Inflationists I think Hec made up.
Nope. But I don't think that name is accurate. V/Search had a book on all kinds of kinks and a big chapter on them. They had a whole chapter on people who were aroused by images of people being inflated, either whole (as Violet was in Willy Wonka), or in part (like...cartoon boobies inflating). They like to wear big suits that inflate and cause pressure all over their person.
Deviant Desires: Incredibly Strange Sex
From an Amazon review:
In Deviant Desires, author Katharine Gates goes for the jugular. Leaving the relatively "normal" realms of BDSM (Bondage & Discipline/SadoMasochism), transgenderism, and shrimping behind, the topics explored in Deviant Desires are completely "off the map" in comparison. Ranging from in-depth chapters on Pony Play to Balloon Fetishes with stops along the way about Giantesses, Crushing, and Fat fans, Gates raises the bar with each chapter. Even our old pal Romain Slocombe (see above) makes an appearance with his Broken Dolls photography near the end of the book.
My favorite chapter has to be the "catch all" finale to the book that addresses (among other things) attraction to androids ("My Living Doll" anyone?) and erotic fan fiction. The drawings of popular science fiction characters in compromising positions aren't easy to forget.
Gates is highly respectful of her subjects, neither exploiting them nor psychoanalyzing them. The fun the people have with their fetishes is apparent and rather "normalizing"! While the idea of people enjoying themselves while not indulging in "vanilla sex" may be offensive to some, this book is for the silent, (a)moral majority!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'm just kind of amazed that people would somehow stumble across that particular fetish in the first place, nevermind develop an entire community dedicated to it.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Did they forget that he became a media darling during his Avengers stint while blue and furry? I remember books from the 80s with crowds of starlets chasing him around in the background. Surely that doesn't just evaporate the instant he switches team books?It's different now that Hank's had a "secondary mutation" that makes him look like a large cat/bear creature--elongated cat-feet, one fewer finger on his hands/paws, a cat-like muzzle, cat pupils, etc. That's the reason Trish dumped him--the media accepted blue and furry, but now he's substantially less human-looking.

Ah, didn't realize that the story in question came after the writers thought it would be the Cleverest. Thing. EVAH! to make his mutations mirror his codename rather than vice versa. That makes a lot more sense, and moreover I can see why Trish would be put off without public perception being involved at all.

Yeah, but fetishes, even moreso than non-fetish sexual desire, are completely unreasonable in their origin.
