ambris asked: In my experience I've noted an odd trend in Pony R34. There are some people who love porn of pony characters in their standard, canonical, quadrupedal form, but squick at the sight of any kind of anthro pony (or anthros in general). These same people tend to also love humanized versions. I know there are exceptions in people's taste, but this happens to often to just be a rare example. Why is the middle ground so often taboo? It honestly baffles me.

I speculated in a previous post on why some people prefer the canonical form. In short, I think maybe they strongly associate the characters (i.e., personalities) with their canonical forms, so they are put off by any variations.

It’s interesting that you mention that the same people like completely humanized versions, because my explanation is inconsistent with that. But right now I’ll just guess that maybe with the characters in totally human form it’s just regular porn or hentai to them.
