How come older people like to act like furries are this outlandish idea but the thought of being with a mermaid has been around a lot longer (sh.itjust.works)

Because people didn't dress up as mermaids and go to cons and express how deep down inside they truly are a mermaid, and have a high likelihood of fucking someone else who also felt the same way.

Not all furries believe themselves to be or want to be animals. It's a simple interest in anthropomorphic art. You're thinking of therians.

I don't think many people had "a thing" for mermaids though. It was just another human creature with boobs. I don't think most people thought about it any deeper than that
