People seem to forget or choose to ignore that our world is full of things based on belief, faith, feelings, urges, interests.
Dressing as schoolgirls is a kink for some. Do we ban schools or uniforms?
We have multiple faiths across the globe. All based on belief, ideology.
Some of us diverge from the heteronormative path.
Some are dual spirit, trans, non binary, etc.
Some people are just super mega into anime or games and live for cosplay and conventions.
Some people find escapism in things like furries, therians, reenactment, LARP groups.
Many have hobbies with quirks.
Some people can and will take anything and make it a fetish; it doesn't mean that that thing is therefore primarily a fetish. But adults may be more inclined to turn to fetishism because as adults we work differently to children and sometimes incorporate sexual elements. It's just important that if that's happening, in any setting, interest, hobby or group, that it's completely separate to anything involving younger enthusiasts.
No-one needs banning from anime, just check content before allowing it to be watched or read.
No-one needs to ban therians and furries, for the majority it's a harmless means of escapism or incorporates into spiritualism.
We are a massive planet filled with all sorts of crazy or fun or odd or different things. Most things aren't sinister.
My youngest has dabbled in the therian thing, she likes to wear a mask and tail and do quads sometimes. Mostly we just sit around decorating the masks and drawing together and she tells me about her favourite animals.
If you continue to monitor what your kids are accessing, and who they associate with, they should be safe from the real dangers lurking.
