    It’s perfectly fine as long as centaurs are sentient.

    It’s not wrong as long as everyone can properly consent, have a full understanding of the situation, and there’s no coercion.

    Quick question, WHY do these funnyish tumblr crops always have one of those annoying “tumblrism”(for lack of a better term) comments on the bottom? Just crop a little higher…

    If it had a horse neck i don’t think that it would be able to speak like a human though.

      Maybe the exterior of the neck is horse but the interior is human?

      Would be able to fit the vocal folds of a hell of a bass singer in that bad boy!

      (Deep voices have longer and thicker vocal folds)

      Do you think a horse would be able to make horse sounds if it had a human neck? That’s the real question here

    The illustration implies that fauns are actually only 25% goats, which means they had a centaur-like ancestor who slept with a human

  • On one hand, informed consent seems to be the rule for interpersonal couplings. On the other hand we still get squicky about incest, even when accidental offspring are not a concern (say, a gay coupling, or the sister is barren).

    Centaurs are notoriously randy, and I suspect would take to horses like shepards to sheep if they were lonely enough. But yeah, the genes might be incompatable, or create a non-true offspring like mules and Labradoodles

    Centaurs are sentient -> You can fuck the centaur, the centaur can’t fuck the horse

    Centaurs are not sentient -> You can’t fuck the centaur, can the centaur fuck the horse? idk

    But, genetics says that the amount of genes inherited from each parent is fairly random.

    75% horse might instead have a horse head, a horse torso, but human arms coming out of its overly thick horse neck.

      I think genetics would say there would be no pregnancy, just as a human and monkey cannot have babies

    But dominant traits, so it would all revert to a horse right?

      Idk if you can make a genetic argument about centaurs breeding with horses tbh. I think that conversation only happens if you handwave DNA lmao

        You mean you don’t handweave DNA?

    i always figured centaurs would be entirely their own species, so it’s bestiality in either direction. Like if you could ask a goose whether it would rather pair up with a cockatiel or an ostrich, i don’t think it’d be happy about either choice

    If it’s anything like WoD you’ll have a horse that can shapeshit into a human. I just throw this in to create discord.
