I’m not sure how to respond here. Obviously it’s a reference to the leg lamp. That was never in question.
I was responding to the alt text of the image that called it a furry rendition, saying it was a probably better akin to a scaly rendition.
Editing this to be less confrontational: It’s not really important to establish exactly what fantasy creating the lamp depicts. It’s stylized, either way, so we’re not going to be able to say it’s one thing or the other. It’s got four toes like cats, non-retractable claws like t-rex’s, and an implied rear claw, similar to a t-rex first toe.
Ohhhh. I think in this case “furry” isn’t meant to mean literal furry as in soft and fuzzy. (I’m no expert but here’s my best shot).
It’s a reference to a sub-culture and visual aesthetic of cartoony anthropomorphic animals. The lamp paw is very reminiscent of a lot of art in the style of furry art.
Oh I had noooo idea about scalies lmaooo. But I think the alt text was meant to be super general. I would say that typical lizard legs have more of that chicken feet vibe to them though.
I don’t think it’s supposed to be a t-Rex leg either. Isn’t it a cartoon lion or tiger leg?
Is a send up of the lamp from the Christmas Story movie:

I’m genuinely confused. Do furries who style themselves after dragons, lizards, and snakes not refer to themselves as scalies?
Did I get taken by a meme like a decade ago and just decided that was canon?

Either way, a T-Rex leg lamp sounds cool!
Sorry I posted the link because there seemed to be doubt about whether it had scales or stockings.
No, you’re good. I think I was reading too much into your comment/crotchity first thing in the morning.
