E621 is an adult image board featuring a wide array of “furries,” art and literature which capture anthropomorphic characters – half human, half animal depictions. Often, these furry characters interact with one another in both loving and sexual ways. Those interested in content featuring sex between furries will find themselves right at home on E621.
For those unfamiliar with the term, “furry” has no fixed definition or description. The originator term refers to a kind of fantasy role-play involving dressing up in an animal costume that is generally referred to as a “fursuit.” This can involve activities like wearing the costume for photo shoots or conventions or taking part in sexually themed gatherings involving various types of sexual activity called “Yiffing.” However, many furries don’t partake in costuming beyond their avatars and artworks within their shared fandom; they instead interact and roleplay through written stories or derivative artworks based on existing characters.
Loosely put, E621 is a place for these funs to express themselves freely without being judged by anyone else’s standards, where most users erode away from the stigma that surrounds “furries” as merely sexual creatures who dress up as animals solely for sexual pleasure. The site allows for safe spaces for exploration and discussion about artifacts related to fetish subject matter without having to worry about outsiders drawing negative attention towards them.
The catalog of images showcased on the forum varies greatly across user uploads. You’ll find pictures depicting everything from cosplays to artwork exploring social issues such as gender identity, body positivity and mental health all rooted from the world of furry fandom. Other photos explore deeply complex fantasies including BDSM inspired artwork while some just focus on everyday life style moments through a cutesy lense bringing attention to topics like domestic violence awareness campaigns all through art centered around fictive fursonas.
Overall E621 offers an immersive urban counterculture full with diverse fantasizing outlets providing users insight into animal costumes plays while simultaneously raising social awareness through innovative works bridging the gap between fantastical conversations towards current societal discussions..
