>search something on Derpibooru than use the same tag on a random furry site and you will know why I only call you diet furries.
I´ve already done that and just in case, Derpiboory has nearly 200k images with the anthro tag. Does this means that having this number makes the brony fanbase furry? Yes and no at the same time.

Not all the franchises reach that number and I have to give Caesar´s what is Caesar´s, MLP is the 2nd biggest franchise in terms of rule 34, only beaten by Pokemon. This implies, for obvious reasons, that there will be anthro content that falls into the questionable and explicit territory (NSFW). This also can be supported by the fact that lots of anthro users who use Derpi, also have accounts in sites such as e621, Inkbunny and especially Furffinity (whose headline admits brony content openly) for a greater diffusion of their content and raise more interest of that public.

However, relatively speaking,the anthro tag doesn´t even reach the 10% of the content posted on Derpi (considering that there are more of 2 million images these days), so the users who consume aren´t all that big as one would expect. Bridgefag and I discussed this in the previous NMaIE and I think that the /go/ thread has documented this.

In addition,anthro content is quite polarizing when the fans have to judge it. When it´s well drawn, it gets tons of upvotes and praise, those highs should mean that a lot of fans are asking for that content. Nonetheless, when it fails, it drops really hard and with a bigger distaste than pony/EQG content because a lot of drawers don´t have a clear body structure to adjust to the characters so we get anatomically incorrect bodies, or at least, awkward results most of the time.

Anthro content works for example, for dragons (pic related) and draconequus (>>3921) which are species that have clear bodies in the show (comics or have official vectors in any media) and there is a well established base to get derivative material. The rest of anthro images mostly end up in humanizing ponies, making them somewhat hybrid and mixing hooves,hands and feet to artist´s taste.

This causes to lots of people to get tired of this stuff because while there is good content , it gets more reluctant when they abuse that route and become even cheaper stuff than simply drawing ponies.

I won´t convince you completely but that bold statement doesn´t sum it up all that well, without taking into account that it´s not quite as homogeneous as one outsider might think.

By the way, I recommend Derpi because it doesn´t only help to tag the images but filter them according to what you want to watch and what you don´t want with pretty simple steps, let alone the order of images by score, date or comments among other things.
