TL;DR:
Is FWA full of toxic people or is it a fun con with normal people?

Long version:
I've never been to a furry convention and have always wanted to, and now that I've moved to the Atlanta area, I now have a chance to attend a convention. However, as I've noticed in the past two decades of being in the fandom, there's been a huge shift in the types of people that are in it. Furries have always had issues with drama, but since around the early/mid 2010s, the fandom has had an issue with, for a lack of better term, social justice warriors. Extremely toxic, hateful people. I know over the years I've unwatched a lot of artists because of how toxic they've become. That being said, let me note something else. It'll seem like a irrelevant tangent, but trust me it's not.

I'm also an anime fan, an otaku, a weeb. I've also been a part of that fandom for a little longer. I've noticed a shift in it's fanbase around the same time as the shift in furry fandom's base, except in the complete opposite end of the political spectrum. Whereas furry fandom has an SJW problem, anime fandom has an issue with the alt-right. If you check out a lot of fandom chats, comment sections, etc (Sankaku Complex's journal comments being the best example of this), it's full of toxic people spouting bigoted things about different races, the LGBT, crying about degeneracy (while openly getting off to said degeneracy.) It's something that has really depressed me and made me not want to really interact in fandom anymore.

However, I've attended Anime Weekend Atlanta two years in a row now and it's full of normal people. There are all sorts of people there from all walks of life. Different races, genders, sexualities, religions, political leanings, etc. Sure, I'd see some references to toxicity, but that's to be expected anywhere. But everyone there was there to have fun. All enjoyed anime and Japanese culture. No one screamed about degeneracy or cried about how minorities were infiltrating the media. Everyone was there to have fun.

So, back to the point. Is Furry Weekend Atlanta the same? If I go, will it just be a bunch of furries enjoying anthropomorphic animals and having a good time, despite our differences? Or will it be filled with people who think white people are the devil, or cis people need to shut up, or "it's ok if we're bigioted assholes because we're oppressed" types, or other toxic types?
