So, a while ago some furry |Name redacted for... reasons.| stipulated that when concerning furry art:

... 60/40 of Porn to Not Porn. Probably exponentially bigger.

Which, since I am a huge nerd, I thought about way to much. People often site the fact that /r/yiff has more subscribers than /r/furry as proof that we are a porn seeking bunch, and the quoted up there up there certainly isn't alone in the belief that furry art=porn.

But what do the numbers say? (This is your warning that the fallowing text is pretty dense with numbers and stuff. Conclusion at bottom of post.)

I took data from the 3 big art sites that are furry specific, DeviantArt, Google and Reddit in various forms, usually by newest submissions and most popular submissions

The definition of Porn I used is the same one in the sidebar here. If it's clearly meant to be sexual, it's porn (I was marginally harsher because if it looked too fetishy or I couldn't tell, I assumed it was sexual)

For a quick base line, if you search google for "Furry" you get a porn rate of 15% (a lot less than the 60% majority threshold) and surprisingly, that remains pretty consistent.

I checked the art sites every so often over a few days and counted the number of sexual images in the newest submissions area.

DeviantArt had the lowest ratio of porn to not porn, averaging around 5% [Note that I searched for Furry and some variants of, and sorted by a few different margins including recent, most popular and most viewed]

Weasyl was the next lowest with an 18% average

FurAffinity was slightly higher at 24%

Inkbunny is your best bet to find pornographic images consistently with an average of almost 50%

That means that, on average, if you go to a furry art site you can expect to see 24.25% Porn.

Clean art makes up for 3/4 of the art that's floating around, by quick calculation.

What about Reddit? Surely the fact that Yiff has more subscribers than Furry is telling, right?

Not so much. While Yiff has more subscribers, it is a far less active subreddit.

/r/yiff has an average of about 1 image an hour, with images making the top 10 by votes with 300 votes (average top 10 post has 457.6 votes)

/r/furry has 3 images posted an hour, average, and a post needs over 500 votes to reach the top ten (with an average of 625.7 points for a top post in r/furry) And that's not counting the non-image posts, which can be as high as 5 posts an hour.

This isn't totally conclusive data, since it does not factor in lurkers and does not factor in what art is more "popular" (which is very, very hard to define, but if trends are any indication porn tends to make up 27% of the most popular images [using reddit upvotes and FA favorites])

I did not sample sites like fchan because data is very hard to collect from image boards, accurate data is almost non existent since it caters to porn specifically.

TLDR, In Conclusion: Most of furry art is NOT porn (around 25% porn vs 75% not porn) Inkbunny has a high porn:clean ratio, deviantart has a low one. Even though there are more users in /r/yiff, /r/furry is more active.
