      /r/socialism tried to ban catgirls several years ago and they were routinely ridiculed for this exact take and it they eventually went back on it after the whole left made fun of them.

      It is a really really silly take. For one petplay is a fetish that people outright enjoy, it's a sub/dom thing, and it's perfectly ok like every other sub/dom thing. And for two it isn't always petplay it's just liking catgirls, people like raccoon girls too is that magically different? What about batgirls? None of these are pets. It's not always a pet thing at all. Specifically singling out the cats is really silly.

          No I'm sorry but this take is still horrible today.

          Some of it is mysogynistic. Some of it is not. Claiming all girls portrayed anthropomorphically is mysogyny is frankly fucking ridiculous.

                  And you fail to distinguish between literally any sexual attraction to anthro girls and the petplay kink.

                  I get it, there is a subset of this that is dedicated to the concept of owning women and some of its proponents do not distinguish between it as a simple kink and it as a genuine outlet for mysogyny. But that is what it is -- a niche within a niche. You are deliberately ignoring that and expanding it into any and all sexual attraction people might have to women with fucking cat ears and tails which is as I said previously, utterly ridiculous.
