Same for this Tail, there are better system to solve postural problems, walking difficulties and other physical issues. How will you simply sit down with this tail? Or precisely in Japan, entering in an Subway with it? They often invent overcomplicated solutions without need, for easy to solve problems, above solving it only tangential and even adding more problems.

Tails only cars. Obviously. Perfectly economical solution to tack a whole other car for the rich people with theriandroid tails to have space.

Oh goodness, it's mounted to his HIP. At first glance I thought this was a whole other level of parody product lmao.

Just a pitch: Tail can easily be detached and works as a walking cane.

I do petty every physically sensative individual that has to take overcrowded public transport though

Ideally it would work as a seat that automatically braces under the user if they fall backwards, or just is able to touch the ground and help the user not lose balance, then revert to walking-balancing mode when the user stands up again.

It genuinely could have beneficial use for people with mobility problems, it's too bad these uses are going to be utterly drowned out by furries looking for new accessories to feel unique.
