Yeah, 100%. It's just that usually when something like this gets a large-ish negative reaction it's because people associate it with furries or some other "taboo" fetish/lifestyle.

I also find that furry stuff gets way more hate than it deserves (which is none hate). I say boo to that! So long as stuff is consensual and nobody gets hurt (who doesn't want to, lookin' at you BDSM), then let people enjoy things.

Side note: It's hilarious how for years people were cheering on Captain Kirk for banging green alien chicks, but cat ears and a tail is a no-go. Cross-species stuff is cool so long as they're from another planet? What if it was planet Yiff? On the topic of aliens, do we even know if Superman has a human-like penis? Maybe Kryptonians bust onto egg clutches, who's to say?

Anywho, people are silly and really like policing other people's likes.

Eh, I say let the furries have their fun. Like, they're going to do stuff like this anyway. Might as well sell it to them.

What do you want to say/see that you cannot? Which rule is rustling your jimmies the most?

I don't have kids, so I don't really have a dog in this fight. I think it's reasonable to feel weird about someone doing something you're not used to. So long as they're happy, nobody is getting hurt, and nobody is a jerk about it, everything should be fine. Like, if both guys know about one another then cool, if she's two-timing both then maybe a discussion needs to be had.

Bit of a tangent: It's weird to me how against things like polyamory or swinging North American society seems to be. I've seen people talk about cheating with less confusion and apprehension. Is it so alien that more than two people can consensually enjoy each other's company? Archie comics have been a staple here for years, and those crazy kids are deffo in a proto-polycule.

Aren't all adaptations "high-budget fanfiction" though? Like, what about the film makes it more fanfictiony compared to other comic or book adaptations?
