I’ve notice not a lot of people bring it up but, when it comes to young anthropomorphic characters, boy characters are more popular than girls. To me it makes sense cause there’s definitely more popular “male cubs/kemoshota” characters in popular media than “female cubs/kemololi”. It’s like with anime where loli is more popular than shota, but in furry the genders popularity is swapped. I kinda wonder if there’s any specific reason for it’s appeal or if it’s just that?

Sorry that I don't make a sofisticated search but I wanted to be the first to answer ( xD )... I am just based in the numbers that appear in the tags in the left top corner of my screen...

According to my tags:

Female 1,632 k.
Male 1,534 k.

Male/female 413 k
Male/male 308 k.
Female/female 65 k.

I think that given the order of mignitude of the numbers (millions, hundreds of thousends) the significance for a difference of proportions, is indublitable.

I am not expert in Kemono or anthropomorfic anime, as you probably be, so maybe there is more on the story than this.

But then again, I have the impression that users here upload pretty much everything that moves... and since there are 2 M + posts, again I believe that it is a very representative sample.

Now, the question could also be interpreted differently, as for example:

"Are the X (e.g. 10) most popular male character, more popular than the X most popular female characters, in e6?".

According to this site in particular, young -female (aka young males only) consists of 750 pages, where as young -male (young females only) consist of 653. Loli tag has 23k where as shota has 26k. Even going to sites like pixiv where kemoshota artworks are more common that kemololita. Again im really asking if there’s any specific reason for the gender ratio?

there is something that is borked where 750 just becomes the defacto page end number, it doesn't mean there is actually 750 pages

"Lolicon" and "Shotacon" are categories of Japanese Anime and Manga. Any explanation of relative popularity I think that should be addressed in terms of understanding Japanese popular culture... and then filtered as preferred by Furries, or afines, that upload them in this site.

I myself have "cub" and similar things in my Blacklist, so I cannot really help in this theme.

But the general numbers, regarding biological gender, are very clear for the site. So to clarify, that what happens in a sub-set of cases in the site E6, cannot be generalized so easily.

Regards.

If by in popular media you mean commercially-published works, the gender identity and conventional attractiveness of women are more closely associated with human facial features than the identity/attractiveness of men are. So in a lot of media properties featuring anthro characters, female anthro characters are usually fewer in number and less-animalistic than their male counterparts.
I'm gonna take a guess that both the people into loli specifically are less likely to be interested in non-human facial features, and that most of the people who are here to see non-human facial features on female characters are instead looking for human body features which are more associated with adult characters.

It's the same thing that image was poking at, yes.
I went looking for the on-site version but I keep forgetting it's not here because GlitchedPuppet is DNP
