People who read a lot of books often enjoy the occasional smut. People who watch anime are probably more likely to watch hentai. It's not really surprising that people's passions and hobbies leak into their choice of pornography.

What in the useless statistics Batman? So because a large percentage of people who identify as furries have viewed (not actively view, not prefer, quite simply have viewed) furry pornography, the entire furry community must be a sex thing? That misses more than a few possibilities. Fuck, I've seen gay porn, and I'm not gay. As far as "learning something sexual about someone", unless you're calling learning someone has a fursona learning something sexual about them, this whole thing is a non-sequiter based entirely on anecdotal experience.

There's some self selecting bias there, going to a 'furry convention' is a rather steeper level of engagement than just, say, looking at a webcomic featuring art like this mascot here.

Those more hard core sexual furries scare off casual furries as well as folks a bit timid about being associated with the most... Forthcoming portion of the fandom.

It's rough on some as they want to engage without sexual interest in the aesthetic, but as a result get grouped in with those with a sexual interest. They want to identify as something, and furry is closest, but they aren't into the sexual facet and struggle with that broad association.
