Thats Kind Of Hot

Also known as: Poop Comes From There · That's Kinda Hot

"That's Kind Of Hot" is a reaction image meme originating from a 2013 webcomic by furry artist Matt_Rat (Matthew Rathew), posted on Fur Affinity. The comic features two anthropomorphic characters in a crude exchange where a wolf responds to an awkward statement with "That's kind of hot," and the fox reacts with visible shock. Both panels spread as standalone reaction images and inspired widespread redraws across multiple art communities.

Overview

The meme comes from a short comic strip featuring two anthropomorphic characters: a male wolf and a female fox. In the comic, the wolf is caught looking at the fox's rear end. She protests by pointing out that "poop comes from there," to which he cheerfully replies, "That's kind of hot." The final panel shows the fox's stunned, horrified reaction2.

Both the wolf's statement and the fox's disgusted reaction found separate lives as reaction images. The wolf panel gets used as an ironic (or unironic) endorsement of something weird or fetishistic, while the fox's shocked expression works as a general-purpose disgust reaction.

On April 24th, 2013, Fur Affinity user Matt_Rat posted the original comic to the platform2. The strip was simple in concept but landed with the kind of blunt shock humor that travels well online. Matt_Rat, also known as Matthew Rathew, was an established artist in the furry community, which gave the comic an initial audience on Fur Affinity before it leaked out to broader internet spaces.

The 2013 date is confirmed by Matt_Rat's own Twitter post on May 23rd, 2017, where he celebrated the comic's 4th anniversary2.

How It Spread

The comic quickly picked up traction beyond the furry fandom2. The two key panels, the wolf's casual "That's kind of hot" and the fox's appalled face, were pulled out and circulated as standalone reaction images across forums, social media, and imageboards.

The wolf's line became a go-to response for ironically approving something bizarre, gross, or taboo. The fox's reaction worked in the opposite direction, expressing shock or revulsion at whatever cursed content someone had just encountered2.

Art communities also latched onto the comic as a redraw template. Artists from various fandoms recreated the exchange with their own characters, swapping in everything from anime characters to original creations while keeping the punchline intact2. These redraws helped push the meme further outside furry spaces and into general internet culture.

How to Use This Meme

The meme typically works in two ways:

As the wolf panel: Reply with the "That's kind of hot" image when someone shares something weird, cursed, or fetishistic. Often used ironically to lean into the joke, though sometimes played straight.

As the fox panel: Use the shocked fox face as a reaction to something disturbing or unexpected. Works the same way as any "disgusted reaction" image.

As a redraw: Artists commonly recreate the comic with different characters. The setup stays the same: Character A says something gross, Character B responds with "That's kind of hot," and Character A reacts with shock. The humor comes from seeing familiar characters dropped into the exchange.

Fun Facts

Matt_Rat's tweet celebrating the comic's 4th anniversary became one of his most popular posts2.

The comic broke out of the furry fandom into mainstream meme culture, a crossover that many furry-origin memes struggle to achieve2.

The phrase "poop comes from there" became nearly as quotable as the title line itself.

Derivatives & Variations

Character redraws:

Artists across Tumblr, Twitter, and DeviantArt recreated the comic with characters from various franchises and original works, keeping the dialogue but swapping the wolf and fox for other characters[2].

Reaction image crops:

Both the wolf's statement panel and the fox's shock panel circulate independently as general-purpose reaction images[2].
