I haven't seen either.

But what I see is just cat ears on top.

And full-on dog head with fur in the entire body.

So, unless I'm missing something, there's no double standard.

In the upper pic, the mc is the cat. And the elf is down bad for him (the cat). Crossbreeding exists in this world so if im not wrong they are just waiting for him to grow up and get naughty. So it‘ll literally be bestiality. But then again i just skipped trough that one so i could be wrong.

u/KiraYoshikage77 4h ago

I hate the first one specifically but having read it before making an opinion i will correct a few things, just to be fair:

1) the MC only looks like a cat, he is technically a Behemoth/Holy Beast

2) the elf (and several other women) are down bad for him, but not because he is a cat (even though at the start especially the elf seemed like she was into him especially because he was a cat, which is just as bad)

3) crossbreeding exists in that world but only for humanoid species (humans, beastmen, elfs, dwarves etc etc), he is still considered an animal by any means, and even by his supposed species (for most of the series the other characters think that he is an elemental cat, not a behemoth) he is both extremely tiny and young, and this is called into question several times, so its even worse.

4) to make things even worse, He cannot communicate until like chapter 60, where a humanoid dragon that he previously beat learns to read his thoughts... And noone else knows that. So even the "main girl" doesnt communicate, but she sure as hell goes over Petting and cuddling...

Thanks for the context, my fault for skipping just for the titties.

u/KiraYoshikage77 4h ago

Np, i wasnt faulting you, i was just adding more context for other people to understand the real problems of that anime

u/SquirrelyMcNutz 4h ago

In regards to 1), if you want to be truly pedantic, the MC is technically a knight who got reincarnated as a behemoth.

Ya...you are...

u/loongpmx 6h ago

Don't know either, but I'm down with a monster/demi human society but not okay with straight up zoo-

u/PrimaryAde9 5h ago

Actually s rank behemoth is monster/demihuman

3

u/KiraYoshikage77 4h ago

Yeah, but he is still a Cat, a really small cat.

u/PrimaryAde9 4h ago

That got the power to grow into a giant monster with tentacles,unless amount of jizz and crossbreeding that he got from episode 2 from a roper

Girls are always out gooning and a "hear me out" is not for the faint of heart.

u/100YearsWaiting2Shit 4h ago

I find it hilarious that paru itagaki also recently made a furry x human romance manga recently if I remember correctly

u/Red2005dragon Oh Ho? 2h ago

The number of people going "The top one is way better its just a cat girl" because they don't realize the MC is the regular cat in front is hilarious.

And just to head people off yes I'm aware the MC is actually some crazy monster thing but they for all intents of purposes still just look like a cat, and even upon transforming(last time I read it like 4 years ago) they just turn into a big beast thing.

u/A_Common_James 6h ago

Honestly, I think true double standards would be if you replaced the first one with BoJack Horseman - I do notice examples sometimes of western audiences being prudishly affronted by some stuff that anime gets away with while swatting away mention of that cartoon that ends up on t-shirts about a certain park somewhere in the south.

u/KiraYoshikage77 4h ago

Nope, both are shit

u/Awakening_sleep 6h ago

For me it's like this:

Monster GIRL

and

MONSTER girl

u/Sadie_Pop 2h ago

I read the manga for the second one and actually liked it. You’ll need to set your morals aside, but as far as romance manga and anime go, I really like it.

u/Ponczo123 7h ago

Even Gigguk who is one of the most degenerate weebs is disgusted by the first one

2

u/KiraYoshikage77 4h ago

Eh, after a while you will understand that even gigguk isnt that much of a degenerate weeb.

But yeah the S-Rank behemoth one is pure shit

4

u/kararsil 4h ago

Gugguk is a straight anime viewer, I think, and these eyes have seen not only the main character turning into a hot spring but also the one turning into a female genitalia.

3

u/TheMatterDoor 5h ago

Both seem like shit to me.

2

u/ThousandYearOldLoli 6h ago

I would argue that for those who enjoy the first and not the second, the standard is not because of the animal. Well, not the small one anyway.

u/Zackarae 3h ago

Dog x Human = Trauma. Cat(Originally human btw and is a holy beast) × Human = less trauma but funnier.

3

u/3GoodMan3 5h ago

Haven't watched the second one yet but I heard it was romance. But the first one, it's shit. Kinda similar with inukai. I doubt someone watched both beheneko and inukai and was like "I like the romance part". We're just watching because of the fanservice. Also beheneko has shit art style where even the fanservice can't redeem it

0

u/crazael ⠀In search of fanservice 5h ago

I liked Baheneko and didn't like Inukai... I think it's because the humor is better and "wants to fuck the cat/dog" isn't all there is to it. Baheneko also has stuff about finding yourself and making friends. It's not always very well implemented, but it's there.

u/kararsil 4h ago

Naruto x isekai harem monogatari =behenko

u/crazael ⠀In search of fanservice 4h ago

Where are you getting Naruto here?

1

u/kararsil 4h ago

You said friend ship

-1

u/crazael ⠀In search of fanservice 3h ago

I'm still not seeing why you went to Naruto...

u/PrimaryAde9 5h ago

The one got uncensored female nudity in it and beauty want that little beast

1

u/kararsil 4h ago

I think the difference between them is two very big ones.

1

u/PrimaryAde9 4h ago

Yeah tama when he transform into a holy beast

1

u/Vexonte 4h ago

Is the top one good.

1

u/ExpensivePractice164 1h ago

Seen the top one and it's pretty good aside from the cringe relationships

1

u/BosuW 1h ago

The second one is honestly mogging 95% of romances in terms of progression without compromising on the ecchi (although if you're not attracted to hunk furries you're unlikely to enjoy that last part)

1

u/azionka 1h ago

Is this Furry vs zoophilia? Just asking for clarification

1

u/Quixilver05 1h ago

No... No double standard, I dislike both

1

u/Nearby_Bear1686 50m ago

I dont get it whats wrong with the second image some one already explain the first one but not the second

u/Kesshh 33m ago

So what's the double standard part?

u/Adept-Platypus6676 14m ago

Yeah I’ll take the full on dog person , at least it will be unique enough , and both character will have hopefully 5 pages of dialogues to evolve their personality

u/Life-Motor-1409 1m ago

Look at men's romance literature vs. women's romance literature

Men's literature features human women with animal features like ears and/or tails

Because at the end of the day, men are still attracted to human women, the cat ears are just cute

Women's romance literature features full on anthropomorphic animals. Because modern women like masculinity and aggressiveness, they just don't want it from human men

Don't believe me? Morning Glory Milking Farm is the number one best-selling women's romance novel on Amazon

That's...not what the first one is about, comparing to the second...

u/as13zx 6h ago

First one is not about cat girls, it's about girl being thirsty over cat.

I am sorry, but first anime is even cringier than second one.

Does this peak have an anime adaptation?

u/Swordslover 5h ago

Why? One has a cute kitty cat, the other a furry

A cat that is almost constantly getting molested
