Mid-year F-List Census: Species

The census continues. This focuses on species-related preferences. Select kinks from other categories are included since these features are occasionally focal points (slime girls, tentacle monsters, etc.), and they might correlate with species preferences. (people who like udders probably like cows).

Unfortunately, relying on people to provide accurate information about their character species introduces some issues.

• Copyrighted species with a strong resemblance to real/mythological animals should probably also count as members of said species (all Delphox profiles should be vulpines), but that’s too much effort for too little gain, and as far as I can tell, a lot of the more general species trends also apply to Pokémon.
  • Pokémon like Eevee, Zorua, Zoroark, Vulpix, Ninetales, Fennekin, Braixen, etc. increase the number of vulpines by 3400 (11.6%.)
    • Eevee evolutions are kind of all over the place when it involves similar species, but universally treating all of them as vulpines raises this number to 7010 (23.9%.)
  • Renamon, Taomon, Kyubimon, Sakuyamon, and related Digimon increase the number of vulpines by 1060 (3.6%.)
    • Renamon alone adds 890 profiles (3.0%.)
  • Pokémon like Goodra, Sliggoo, Goomy, Gastrodon, Shellder, Cloyster, etc. increase the number of molluscs by 410 (68.3%.)
• These series regularly encompass several hundreds of species in several languages that can’t be reliably searched on F-List (there might be Pokémon profiles that specifically use non-English names, and it’s hard to justify searching for hundreds of niche Pokémon like Conkeldurr.)
• Species is a free text input, so profiles might use irregular renderings that cause them to not show up in searches related to their species, and this is even more exaggerated when there’s over a thousand species to check.
• There might also be profiles that only indicate their species by talking about it in their name or profile description, which won’t show up in my data.

Species

Kink Popularity

That was a massive chart on its own, so let’s immediately follow with some observations.

• The people who bother to set it are usually pretty cool with interracial. This makes sense for humans, but are there furries who hate interracial?

  • 89.33% approval rate, 32.49% favorite rate.
  • 2.00% of respondents specifically set interracial to “no”.

• People are generally okay with tails.

  • 85.68% approval rate, 28.83% favorite rate.
  • 4.13% of respondents specifically set tails to “no”.

• Human cocks are literally top-tier.

  • 85.33% approval rate, 31.83% favorite rate.
  • 5.58% of respondents specifically set human cocks to “no”.
  • Uncut cocks are 74.39% approval, 29% fave, 10.03% no.
  • Cut cocks are 73.88% approval, 15.67% fave, 9.32% no.

• Knotted cocks enjoy a similar level of approval, but likers/dislikers feel much more strongly about them.

  • 78.01% approval rate, 40.53% favorite rate.
  • 10.34% of respondents specifically set knotted cocks to “no”.

• People are uncertain about rubber characters, birthing, aliens, tentacles, robots, multi-genitalia, multi-breasts, barbed cocks, oviposition, and quadrupeds.

  • 106880 respondents list birthing as a “maybe”.
  • 106470 respondents list multi genitalia as a “maybe”.
  • 100750 respondents list rubber / elastic characters as a “maybe”.
  • 98050 respondents list xeno / alien as a “maybe”.

• Of the human (“human” as species, or “human” bodytype) females who have Equines as a favorite (21440)…

  • 44.91% (9630) have zoophilia as a favorite kink.
  • 49.02% (10510) have animals / ferals as a favorite kink.

• Of the human females who have Canines as a favorite (23650)…

  • 46.25% (10940) have zoophilia as a favorite kink.
  • 52.13% (12330) have animals / ferals as a favorite kink.

• Of the human males who have Equines as a favorite (9270)…

  • 29.98% (2780) have zoophilia as a favorite kink.
  • 37.32% (3460) have animals / ferals as a favorite kink.

• Of the human males who have Canines as a favorite (11280)…

  • 27.48% (3100) have zoophilia as a favorite kink.
  • 36.87% (4160) have animals / ferals as a favorite kink.

• An inflatable undead mollusc moogle (zombie inkling moogle pooltoy?) would probably be the most consistently unpopular species choice you could make, but also I could see a bunch of people going “fuck it” and typefucking you anyway because they like some component of it, because it’s novel, etc.

Profiles Created

For this chart, numbers were determined by collating all the species that the kink lists as an example, adding extra inputs like “protogen”, “orca”, etc. when I remembered them, and searching for all profiles with a “species” field matching at least one input.

• Animals / ferals were determined by counting the number of profiles with the “feral” bodytype, and those with “feral” in the species.
• MLP profiles were determined by checking for “earth pony”, “unicorn”, “pegasus”, or “alicorn”. Of course, there is significant overlap with Equines.
• Monsters were determined by just taking a bunch of names from the Monster Girl Encyclopedia and then cutting out things already covered by another category. This means most of the results might just be MGE moeblobs, but I did add some classic/D&D monsters after just for variety.
• “Porc” (pig orc) was included with “orc” because they tend to use similar themes and aesthetics.
• Profiles with the “taur” bodytype were counted as taurs. Profiles with “minotaur”, “holstaur” or similar were specifically excluded.
• “Arachne” and any combo of “spider” + taur was counted as a drider.
• Profiles with the “human” bodytype and any species input containing at least one letter (a-z), but not those describing themselves as “human”, were counted as humanoids, along with several specific terms like “lalafell”.
  • While they were not specifically included in the search, this means profiles using descriptions like “librarian” as a species name were probably counted as Humanoid, not Human.
• Profiles with the “human” bodytype and any species input (including blank) not containing at least one letter, along with those using “human” specifically, were counted as humans.
• Pokémon were determined by picking e621’s 100 most popular Pokémon, as well as “Pokémon”, “Pokemon”, “Kantonian”, “Alolan”, “Hisuian”, “Galarian”, and “Paldean”.
• Digimon were determined by which were the twenty most common on e621 (Renamon, Guilmon, Gatomon, Impmon, Veemon, Flamedramon, Gabumon, Leomon, Gammamon, Exveemon, Patamon, Weregarurumon, Angoramon, Gomamon, Agumon, Wargreymon, Terriermon, Dorumon, Gaomon, Taomon, in that order.) Also, “Digimon”.
• I thought about throwing in Yo-kai Watch due to personal bias, but there’s not even 20 profiles if you exclude humans like Nate/Keita.
• Some miscounts may exist due to shared species names. (At least one Salamander is a non-amphibian, non-reptilian elemental spirit.)
• Mammal, predator species, and prey species were skipped for being overly broad and consisting entirely of species already covered by other options.
• “Exotic Species” only includes profiles with “exotic” or “hybrid” in the species. “Folfs”, “cabbits”, etc. won’t appear in my data, and e621 has already proven there’s no point in trying to keep track of arbitrary combinations like “Salugia”.
• I counted the number of inflatables because I noticed they were the most unpopular of the species-related kinks.
• Humans and humanoids outnumber everything else to such a degree that the X-axis has been capped at 50,000.

Take this info with a pinch of salt.
