How come older people like to act like furries are this outlandish idea but the thought of being with a mermaid has been around a lot longer (sh.itjust.works)

50% of mythology is just fetish, just check out Greek mythology. People most definitely masturbated to mythology in the past based on the amount of fetish oozing out of the stories.

You can't tell me the ancient Greek equivalent to furries didn't think Zeus transforming into animals and fucking was hot.

Can confirm. Watching 50 Shades of Greek told me way too many aspects of the Greek mythology. The Intro alone sums it up perfectly.
