It's a common tactic for marxists to target and recruit vulnerable people. Many furries use the fandom as an escape from the real world and they've taken advantage of our insecurities to make us turn against each other. I've been a furry since 2012 and my experience was overall pleasant. Around 2015 I noticed things getting worse. If it weren't for my circle of friends, I would have left by now. Major figures like Jasonafex and 2Gryphon give me a little hope.

I'm sorry that your experience in the fandom has been a short one with so much hate and such. I joined in 2002 and it was a much more pleasant place and time and a far cry from what it has devolved into now.

But you are absolutely correct.

We need hard firm hand there biggiest poltical group if they dont stop it we need to seperated them as this is public fandom for escaism real life not drama or safe space they can handle that they can leave any one can do or say what ever they want and they can take the antifa freinds other politics groups here.

We need to kick allot groups starting LBGT it not safe space it public fandom for any one to join and bring there kids and family.

I support people who likes guys and guys or girl on girl or bi people both but they do not own them because they gather every where you still down own the fandom or the culture even you treat with political attack and black listing them not welcome or we beat you because our political power to shame you docs you and your family.

We let them join and start drama as when did it turn to safe space we start this as scifi to enjoy as escapism of real world problems to enjoy hobbies and make friends of similarity and not political or people private live.

Now why are we complain about the president and trying to use anti white conparicys and fake hate crimes that happen like 5 percent of USA to just support one party and they can never be wrong or do nothing bad because he was black so using some one skin color as accuse as fandom is 90 percent white.

We can thank allot of LBGT people who push politics and promoted one party because fake promises as politicians dont lie as here freebie vote for me.

As now people think of them they are just people playing politics or mental disorder because some one smart idea let give it to the unstable group being anti science and play sjw or social justice making gay people look stupid as many gay people are afraid to stand up and kick them for brining shame and hate in groups as it wont happen lbgt turn to mob more than family if you think diffrent from mob or tv media as not being democrat you get beating and shamed as nazi or uncle tom.

We really need new LBGT group or something new as this is going it slowly burning down as just marxism,anti America attacks,media brain washing people acting as your friends until they beat you because they dont like your political groups as that is real hate crime also a law but we dont force that law just scream nazi and remodeling free speech to make hate speech just one side dont like as other can take hike we dont like your kind and getting close to the same problem we try to fix to make new one.

Well this was an easy unfollow, just another anti-sjw throwing a fit because they can't be as hateful as they want. Bye Foxtrack~

To be fair the community has been very messy

Racist and sexist and such doesn't mean anything anymore.

-2nd wave feminists are called "misogynists" now by 3rd wave college feminists because "equality" isn't "enough".

-Black people are calling other black people "racists" and "Uncle Toms" whenever said people point out any sort of black on black issues.

-MLK and Abraham Lincoln are now apparently racists, and if you believe in or like these people you are somehow a racist as well.

-Gay guys are now "transphobes" and even called "homophobes" if they refuse to have sex with or refuse to believe a female pretending to be a man is anything other than a biological female. Even George Takei has said it is "Scientifically Ignorant to Defend So-Called Biological Sex".

-Moderates on both sides, centirsts on both sides, and really anyone that doesn't agree with the "Fringe Cringe Far Left" are called "Nazis".


It is fucking clown world right now, where these social media idiots think their echo chambers are the opinion of the majority outside of said echo-chambers.

When these complete idiots resort to calling people that might actually even agree with a lot of their viewpoints, the absolute worse thing possible, they have no where to escalate from there, especially if they ever run across an ACTUAL racist/sexist/neo-nazi type. They honestly think destroying society will be good for society.

As for the furry fandom... It's been fucked ever since mainstream social media and echo-chambers became popular around 2006-2008 and beyond.

Twenty years ago the left preached "tolerance" and being "open minded". Seemed reasonable. Now that is no longer sufficient. Now, the order of the day is to condone and embrace their every thought and action, no matter how absurd. The center-right and even the moderate left of the last few decades are no longer "tolerated." If you aren't burning police precincts with us today, then what have you ever done?

Ideological purity or GTFO

The far left are the new religious conservative puritans we had in the late 90s and early 2000s... I'd even say they are even bigger hypocrites than the religious nutjobs of said time as well. Hell, the left wing media now has nothing but good things to say about George "Dubya" Bush... The fact they are suddenly agreeing with him should show how much of a flip they have made.

My politics have not really changed in 15+ years but the political parties and media brainwashing sure has.

100% correct.

I think you described the world in general..

Yep. Been in the fandom since 2001 and its been a long, slow slide downhill. I stopped going to cons in 2014 or so. Not worth it anymore.

Well said FT! 👍👍👆

pretty much but I'd argue the tactic only kills the perceived establishment rather than the community. either way there is a reason that my minds page gets priority for when I can overcome my laziness and write.

Dude... These are crazy, unstable times. I get that. A lot of us are really scared right now. But don't give in to Hate as a way to try and find a haven from it. That path always leads to bad, bad ends. Furry Fandom is bigger and better than any sub-divisions within it. Always has been. Always will be.

Peace.

I'm not the one giving into hate, I'm just pointing out what has happened to the fandom with how there are so many who have become toxic and hateful and attacking anyone that doesn't fall in line with their authoritative ideology, causing so many to either become silent or leave all together. I personally miss the good times I had when i first discovered the fandom in the early 2000's and how welcoming and open it was with no harsh judgements of anyone, where you could have political and theological discussions with others peacefully. where our love for anthropomorphic animals was what united us all. I still want to believe in that and the good times we have had.

Best thing you can do is back out and let the marxists eat their own.

h I know, and thats what I've been doing for the most part. I do try to warn others of the truth of things, but I get blocked and such, then what i warned about comes true or is exposed. I just hate that they are still allowed to go around and cancel people and destroy their lives just for having different opinions or standing up for their selves.
