Furries ruin everything. Even shit other furries already ruined worse than you previously thought possible.
I hate to whiteknight again, but it can't be helped if I want to offer some perspective.
Furries as a whole were pretty quiet on the web for a little over a decade. We made our own shit and kept our degeneracy mostly on there. (We admittedly do have a sick, uncontrollable need to use furry avatars wherever we go; I'm pretty sure if Null started forcing regular avs on us we'd burst into flames and die.)
There was a need for us to keep to our own circles because, well, we're fucking perverts, and society is not kind to those who flaunt their degeneracy like some point of pride. Most who tried would generally get laughed out unless they were very good at interacting with normal people (and generally people that see fit to tell everyone about it aren't good at that). And you know what? That's a
good thing, for everyone. Normal people don't want to see that shit, and every fucking pervert, whether they realize it or not, takes a certain thrill in going against social norms.
But, in the past couple of years, things have been rapidly changing due to this culture war going on. There's a clear, unsaid goal that really unifies these wackjob progressive types: They all hate the idea of there being any social norms. They want to be able to flaunt all of their degeneracy and/or retarded beliefs without any social consequence. And this has attracted the absolute worst of furries - particularly those who were being ostracized from within the furry fandom for being literal dogfuckers, pedophiles, or such colossal spergs that not even we could tolerate them. And, of course, rather than starting their own community, they'd rather just take ours and kick out anyone who doesn't conform to their hivemind.
I suspect more conventions will soon follow Eurofurence's lead, and I will then have effectively been (indirectly) ran out of a community I dedicated a decade of my life to. And when they've completely taken over, they'll realize they fucked things up for themselves just as much as they fucked them up for the rest of us, because there won't be anything exciting or exotic about it anymore. It'll just be more adjectives for the same Twitter profiles that list their pronouns. Administrative positions will turn into a revolving door for others of their ilk because they were only in it for themselves to begin with.
It's just a shame there's not a way to track their suicide rate.
fftopic: but this whole NASA job thing and the salt that's followed had me laughing.
