Every time there's anthro animals in a world with feral animals, it gets so complicated. Even if it's just anthros, you gotta wonder what they eat. Is murder legal if you eat the "person" you killed? Is it a dystopian society where you could be killed any second because a carnivore got hungry? It sounds horrible and it's never explored in fiction.

Satellite City, it's implied.

No, you just have autism.

But then your world makes no sense. You can't have a world of humanoid animals if the predators don't eat something. Even if you say they just eat fish, insects, or a synthetic meat. That's better than never explaining it.

I get freaked out how hot Marie is.

Humans live in the same world as apes, those are just as close as feral is to anthro. I dont see the problem at all, but I suppose I can respect it. After all I can stand any anthro animal except chimp/monkey/ape types. I'd say its just the feet, but theres something else wrong ive never been able to pin down before.

Goofy's a dog, Pluto's a dog, one is just evolved to be intelligent and the other is Goofy.

If it's a serious story/tone, yeah you should explain things like that. If it's pure silly comedy then you can ignore those details.

>Satellite City

Literally what?

That reminds me of an old web comic…Tiffany Tiger, I think, that actually dealt with this, in an offhand way. There was simply an area either outside the city or the like where predators were allowed to stalk and kill prey species. If I recall one of the supporting cast was a lion, ready to pounce on some herbivore, but didn't because they were talking about visiting his bar.

So, that's one way to tackle it

The whole ferals and anthros living together actually makes more sense to me than something like Zootopia. Because if all the animals are out there doing human shit instead of taking their place in the food chain, fertilizing the soil, aiding the spread of pollen, etc. then how is the environment even functioning?

Have you considered you may just be retarded?

I agree with this. I can watch Swat Kats, Star Fox, or Ninja Turtles, but when that Captain Simian cartoon showed up I felt weirded out. Especially because in the story of that show Captain Simian himself is the only advanced ape. The other support characters? They were feral and needed to have their brains evolved by sci-fi tech. And even weirder? The Token Female of the group before she became intelligent looked the way that she did as a Bipedal Humanoid who human men worshiped and sought her council to gain her favor into whatever cultural dealings were going on. All this and she was essentially a feral creature (and despite being feral she was dressed as if she was already intelligent and evolved). Man apes in general simply straight up weird me out. I can see why the crew that made Zootopia went out of their way to ensure that not even one small monkey showed up in the film.

The only apes I can stomach are the Nintendo Donkey Kong ones.

It could be that Zootopia has a complex system of large bugs that fill roles similar to animals, or that there are "unevolved" counterparts to everything out in the wild, similar to humans and apes.
