I think this is a case of selection bias in action. If you don't spend time in furry-dedicated spaces then obviously the furries you're gonna notice are gonna be the ones who are really loud about it. I do everything I can to decouple my furry identity from my non-furry identity (outside of mentioning the fact that I am one and that I have a particular fondness for bugs) as a matter of infosec because I'm well aware of the capacity of fascists and fash-adjacents to make my life unpleasant over it.
Prefacing this saying it could be entirely selective bias on my end. I'm often hanging out in furry hotspots because being autistic and having autistic interests means there's a good chance you'll be around them, and they're chill... and that might play a part in this perception? Being bad at reading a room and oversharing are things at lot of us struggle with.
I spend a ton of time in in regular LGBTQIA spaces online especially in gaming communities because those are the only places that are chill. The furry crowd are definitely the most hypersexual bunch in the online space, that's for sure. I wouldn't say it's offputting, though, because to me an anthropomorphic sex fantasy is about as tame as it gets insofar as kinks go. They are just really forward with it, though, the moment they feel like they are in a space that allows them to be so even if it pushes boundaries of good taste in that space.
