     @PhenomX6 @feralbot It’s interesting how far “feral” has shifted in meaning inside of furry circles; it’s basically jargon at this point, closer to “on-model” than “wild or dangerous” in meaning.

     It's either "on model" or "quadruped" and "semi anthro" really means "it doesn't look like animal fur on human skin" these days character design wise.

     @Nudhul @feralbot @PhenomX6 In use, people make an exception for faces. Almost all of what I’ve seen “feral” applied to has at least an anthropomorphized face, not to the extant of “lite furry” stuff but still a step above a-picture-of-a-dog.

     “Feral” might not have been the most apt choice for it, but there was a desire for a term to grade anthropomorphism beyond just the literal word, which technically applies to virtually everything.

     @Coyote @feralbot @PhenomX6 i always mantained it means lacking physical anthropomorphic qualities

     @Coyote @feralbot @Nudhul tbh my favorite kind of anthropomorphic characters or some of them are based on machines or inanimate objects so yeah
