"So we have come to a conclusion. Since the definition of "hyper" shouldn't just mean "big genitals" it should cover the whole spectrum of the body. Whether it's muscle or whatever one thinks is hyper. Hyper doesn't have one set meaning and we believe people deserve to have entitlement to share their sonas of hyper anything and not just by their crotch or chest but by their body itself. So with that hyper muscle and anything that defines "hyper" is welcome to be shared and faved or posted here. We want furs to be comfortable here and flaunt their massive anatomy. Thanks for listening and here's to hyper!"
