Plantigrade paws, digitigrade paws or human-like feet?

[Michanicks]

My personal opinion: human feet are ugly and digitigrade paws are too animal-like so it's harder to relate to characters with such pawns and it's anatomy breaks immersion for me way too much (because bipedal creations don't need such type of legs, it's too big pressure for joints).

Plantigrade paws - best of both worlds.
What is your opinion?

Plantigrade paws are fine, but I personally try not to instill it into my own characters except for my mascot in my profile picture. Human feet, no, and I strongly prefer digitigrade paws. Plus, unguligrade for my hoofed characters (my sheep fursona and pig character).

i dont know, im not furry, im just romanian

I agree. I prefer digitigrade paws a thousand times because it looks more faithful (and cute) to the style of an anthropomorphic animal, changing the anatomy to plantigrade would be like putting human ears on a Wolf.
It's a shame that there are many artists who do not draw the digitigrade paws on their characters

Or like making animals bipedal. Or like making them wear clothing. Or like making their brain functioning like a human one. Or like given them shape of eyes no animals even have. Or like making them have boobs. Or...

All of that depends on the decision of the artist/creator. If your character had breasts, would wear clothes, or act on instinct, that decision would be his because we are talking about a fictional creature that could appear more animal than human or vice versa. Even in MH the Felyne look more like a real cat than a human because they are small and make cat noises all the time, but they also wear clothes, they do jobs that a human would do (like hunting, making food or forging weapons), And in the same way they could be naked and nobody would bother because they are very fluffy or they simply do not have private parts (I also thank Capcom for making the Felyne Digitigrades instead of plantigrades)

There is nothing to specially thank them, furry in popculture almost always have digitigrade anatomy when nearly no one cares about people who would enjoy plantigrade legs in anthro character's anatomy. It's like thanking devs for making playable male character yet almost all games already about male protagonists.

Well, I thank Capcom for the design of the Felynes, because if they were plantigrades I would feel sorry to carry them in my team. About what you mentioned that in Furry culture there is almost always digitigrade anatomy, I don't know what you are talking about, there is a lot of plantigrade content (For example: Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, Star Fox, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kaze and the Wild Masks , Blacksad, Freedom Planet 1, Tales of Aether, Zootopia, Aggretsuko, Beastars etc.), so much so that I have had to search very thoroughly the internet just to find digitigrade content
