I know this is super petty but personally I prefer scalies without breasts/nipples, anuses (anii?), or balls because they're reptiles. Reptiles don't have nipples or breasts, and have a cloaca instead of a separate anus/vagina or anus/penis. Yes, anthro is taking an animal and giving it a humanoid or semi-humanoid body plan, and humans are mammals, but we have plenty of exotic anatomy like knots, horsecock, other strange animal penises, etc. Kind of the reason why it's appealing is because it's exotic. I'm kind of disheartened by the fact that there's very little art of scalies drawn this way. If you want to put mammalian features on a character, then make it a mammal. Anyone else feel similarly or am I the only one?

tl;dr REEEEEEEEEEEE GET YOUR MAMMALIAN ANATOMY OFF OF MY REPTILES

Thanks for listening.

ok

Some reptiles have penises, in fact the vast majority do. A lot of artists like to portray anthropomorphised critters with anthro traits, that includes and is not limited to, most humanoid elements. Which typically imply mammal features.

The presented argument is like saying... yes people are allowed to draw anthros bc you cant stop them but youd really rather prefer people only do photorealistic ferals.

the best I can suggest for you is to blacklist
non-mammal_breasts
or
non-mammal_breasts + reptile

Also, no rudeness intended but... I get why your gripe exists, but wouldn't this be better in blips?

Duh, reptiles have penises. I'm saying that reptile penises come out of a genital slit (cloaca) rather than being external.
I'm also not asking for feral, I'm asking for anthro with reptilian traits rather than mammalian other than of course basic human body structure.
Also, I have no idea what blips are for. I mostly just use this site for porn and this is really my first forum post.

That doesn't address the problem I'm bringing up, though. Yes, I could blacklist it. Obviously. But that wouldn't increase the amount of art being done in the way I'm describing.

...So?

Evidently, nost people (or at least artists) disagree.

You'll have to interact with the artists for that, or become one yourself.

Well, painted-skin is still one of the more popular furry bodystyles. People stick to what's "normal", and breasts/separated genitalia/external testicles are still the defaults.
It took a long time for canine_penis to become accepted, and now that it's been normalised it's practically a default.

Understood *increases the amount of reptiles with massive boobs, a pair of anuses and human dicks*

If you want to put humanoid characteristics on an animal, why not just make a human? Follows the same logic.

Also, I wonder how you'd react to doing a search for 'reptile busty_feral'.

Only thing I can think of when reptiles with boobs, also reptiles are egg, not live birth, so boob make no sense anyway.

Monotremes
Granted, both kinds of monotreme are beaked, so instead of having traditional nipples they kind of just ooze milk, but the point is that egg-laying doesn't have to exclude milk production.
ALSO there are a number of snakes which live-birth. You'd be better off making your specification around how the embryo develops rather than how it comes out.

ironically all these complaints are aimed towards anthros, no word about actual ferals being given balls and boobs >>

Please note breasts do not serve just milk production but also as fat storage, so yes female lizard anthros may still have use for breasts, just saying...

Adding also that breasts that produce milk are not mammalian anatomy strictly speaking, they may develop on any animal that walks upright regularly and gives live birth to newborns that cannot survive independently from parent care.

100% agree. There's nothing more disheartening than seeing a generic, everyday, run-of-the-mill human dong on something not-human.

So... blacklist 'humanoid_penis anthro'?

They aren't your reptiles.

Reptiles aren't designed to be appealing to humans. Art is.

I don't want to put titties on a mammal. I want to put them on reptiles.

Oh, this thread already hooked me the first time around.
I prefer no-breste near-universally but also I'm going to keep laughing at anyone slapfighting over this.

Shotgun, maybe. Full of rock salt and paintballs full of holy water.
