There's other people who like those same strange things, I promise.
(Rule 34 actually comes in handy for once.)
That's one of the really cool things about furries (I'm a furry). They're so sex-positive and kink-positive that as long as it doesn't involve hurting anyone (as in actual harm, there's plenty of "ooh yeah hurt me!" type kinks), you can generally find it. How much art there is of it does scale with popularity of course and finding niches of niches isn't always super productive but it is out there.
...I do not understand the "getting toxic and rapey" bit though.
Or the "unfuckably gross" bit, for that matter. Of course, being a furry (and therian) I don't even present as human online, let alone anything about the specific body I'm in, I do lewdstuff as a wolf. And when you're just deciding you're gonna present as a totally different species anyway, nobody has to be gross! Physical-body attractiveness literally doesn't matter at all.
