Dubious tags in sexuality
So currently the article says furries are more likely to be gay/bi/lesbian by a factor of ten, which appears to be a bit of synthesis from a Gallup poll unconcerned with furry sexuality. There are dubious tags on the poll's percentage of bisexual/gay/lesbian Americans for no reason that I can find. What's dubious about it and should this seeming synthesis even be in the article? XeCyranium (talk) 03:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, it seems to me that the "factor of 10" claim should be considered original research. I don't, however, understand the tags placed on the statistical claims on LGBT identification, as they are directly stated in the given source. I think that the "factor of 10" claim should be removed or adequately sourced, and that the tags should be removed on the other claims. 22090912l (talk) 21:28, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- yeah i feel like that needs some more solid evidence and verification Frostwolf74 (talk) 04:46, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi , maybe you shouldnt talk abt zoophilia as now the result of this survey is less than 2% 2A04:CEC0:1010:9622:8162:D3F1:777D:E319 (talk) 19:55, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Could you clarify which survey you are referring to? AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:00, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Jalen Folf (talk) 21:39, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Although it is relatively insignificant, it is an important piece of information that should be included. Frostwolf74 (talk) 04:16, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Again, we need a source. AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- oh i see Frostwolf74 (talk) 16:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- The source is right here for the survey that got 2%. The source for the other one that got 17% is on page 26 of this. Though I have noticed that the source in the article for the first one leads to a broken website that isn't available so that source is no longer reliable and needs to be updated. I have also noticed that the source for the second one says 17.1% rather than 17%, Although it is minor it should be updated to say 17.1%. Frostwolf74 (talk) 17:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- 2008 is horribly out of date, and I'm not actually sure Furry Research Center is an RS. Unless someone can find a more recent one, we should probably just strike this entire topic. — The Hand That Feeds You: 18:42, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- I agree Frostwolf74 (talk) 21:28, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Visual art image deleted from commons
c:File:Avis Draws - Bloop (2020) (cropped variant).png has apparently been deleted from commons, and thus from this article. It seemed to have started with one image by the artist deleted for "unclear use case, suspicion of spam", which led to a strange discussion with a lot of fighting, followed by all the artist's works being deleted from there at the request of the original uploader (not the artist) with little discussion, including the one used on this article. There do appear to have been a lot of images by the artist uploaded that weren't being used and were just uploaded due to having a free license, but this one's use here does not appear to have been brought up at all. What action is best to take now, as far as an image representing the visual art site of the fandom? Ringtail Raider (talk) 07:58, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
