it's all about style and being associated with a particular group of people.
japfurs are generally seen as more acceptable because they're basically just anime girls with slightly different textures and a slightly pointier face. they are usually closer to humans or kemonos on the scale, and a far cry from actual anthropomorphic animals like the ones you see on western furries.
japfurs are also a different kind of people, not much different from us (sometimes they even ARE us). western furries are a completely different type of people.
