"I'm feed up with all this hatred in the furry fandom" .
The toxicity going on in the furry fandom, you know the gate keeping, hate mobs going after those THEY deemed a disgrace, the sh*t talk, and those starting drama over petty stuff,.... Well let's be honest with ourselves. The toxicity going on in furry is not just a furry exclusive thing. Even if you were to delete all your furry accounts, light up your fursuit in a bond fire, and leave the fandom forever, you are not going to escape the hatred. This toxicity that you are feed up with is everywhere because at this point in time the human condition sucks due to all the seismic disruptions happening in society, economics, and geo politics.
Humanity as a whole is going through the biggest most drastic changes since the transition from hunter/gatherers to agrarian societies. Change and disruptions are everywhere. As a result people are scared. When people are scared, logic and discipline takes a back seat to irrationally and self preservation, a state of mind in which new things upending the old and things that are difficult to understand along with individuals and groups that don't adhere to perceived norms are viewed more as threats than anything else reguardless if they are indeed malicious, malign, or have great benefits to offer. Seismic disruptions instilling fear and uncertainty into people is why there is allot more hatred nowadays than back in times when I was a kid.
Even the furry fandom, despite all the claims of being loving and accepting, has been overrun by hatred for years now. Behind the fursonas and fursuits, behind the furry art and creativity are human beings who deep down are just as scared of what all these disruptions are doing as the rest of humanity. Therefore furries too are under that same spell of irrationally and self preservation and as such tend to view people and new things that don't align with what they see as normal as threats that must be attacked and gotten rid of. Hence why there is all this hatred going on in the furry fandom.
There is really not much that can be done to change the human condition. Nor is there anything that can be done to stop the hatred that has overrun the fandom. The only thing that will fix the human condition, to which the fandom is a part of since we furries are human beings too, is for these disruptions happening all around us to run their course and humanity getting the lay of the land and adapt to it once all the smoke and dust finally settles down. Then maybe, just maybe, the human condition will improve and along with that the furry fandom can be that loving and accepting fandom we all hedged our bets on once again.
Until the human condition improves, you the furry and you the human being in general will need to find ways to get through this transition and make it to the otherside in one piece. Don't worry about the haters. They are merely scared and desparately trying to hold on to fleeting moments that simply can't be bottled up and preserved against the shifting sands of time. Besides haters will always hate anyway no matter how frustrated of them you are.
Instead there things you can do to help yourself to make it to the otherside of all these disruptions. Focus on the friends that you do have, I mean the people that genuinely care about you and have stuck with you through thick and thin. Do your best to disallow yourself to be overrun by your own fears and instead be a positive light to those you care about. Do not worry about the turbulence of the world around you and instead change for the better what you can change within yourself and what is within your sphere of influence. Simply doing these things will not only help you. It will help your friends and anybody in your social circles to get through these turbulent times as well.
Stay strong people. We will get through this.
