Furry Fandom and Drama General

It seems to me from what I can tell about furries, is for whatever reason they almost always has peripheral fetishes, whether it's diapers, hardcore BDSM, vore, or any number of insane paraphilias. I don't know why.

I've heard that in the early days of the internet furries were (and still are) overly accepting of people into their fandom. If someone with a strange fetish joined a furry community, their tastes would be respected and even defended. It makes sense considering most media beloved by furries is aimed at children with lessons on tolerance, acceptance, and friendship. Anyway, tolerance doesn't always work out in the real world. To my understanding this is why furries are so toxic today.

I blame 80's trash like Care Bears and The Get Along Gang for that!

It's like their instinct is becoming more animal -- meaning dog fucking stupid.

Pretty much the reason why despise the sexual nature of it. It's as if that's all it is.

So, forgive my obvious ignorance in the mythos of the practice, but... why are diapers a thing for furries? I mean, for furries specifically? Yeah, people have all kinds of fucked up fetishes, diapers included, but there just seem to be so many diaperfurs out there. You never hear of diaper-Trekkies or Harry Potter diaper-wizards. If they even exist (I'd never rule it out), they don't seem as prevalent in any other fandom as they do with furries. I suppose the other fandoms just drive them off while furries overcompensate on being inclusive..?

I bet it's something to do with a cartoon with animal baby characters, a lot of these fetishes seem to be a bizarre sexualisation of kids TV shows.

I'm sure furry conventions are like Spring Break for furry fetish shit. Aside from that, how much of it do you think furries actually really do in real life, versus how much they just fantasize or talk about doing it? 80%/20%? 60%/40%..? Do you think a lot of them are just... er, talking shit (so to speak), about this stuff?

Aren't you like some kind of expert on this shit? And you're asking us?

We're not furfags here.

At least most of us aren't. Rate me Optimistic here.

Guy I went to college with only took off his fursuit to come to class and go to work. Now he's the head of some furry group over around Missouri or whatever last I heard. Got married in the suit, and swears he'll die in the suit. I'm still shocked he found someone freaky enough to marry him fursuit and all.

It's called the Geek Social Fallacies.

A funny thing happens when you tacitly give permission for disgusting perverts to move into your group; they begin thinking that their behavior is acceptable. In turn, they become a magnet for more perverts to march right in and set up shop. This could have been headed off by telling the pervs that their creepy shit isn't welcome, but that would make you an evil excluder.

Of course, that ship sailed a couple of decades ago. It's far too late now.
