I've seen a lot of that stuff online too. Lots of characters with top-surgery scars, not just on deviantart, but twitter and furaffinity (furry-themed art site) too. I'm not surprised that furry and trans crossover so often. It's about the escapism and fantasy. But yeah, body mutilation shouldn't be aspirational.

It is most definitely about the escapism and fantasy with furry and trans crossovers. I have left a lot of communities where it was prominent (one of my major peaking moments), and I fear it's just going to thrive on Twitter and other social media where art like that is shared.
