I’m a furry, and I’ll be the first to admit our fandom has let in some real stinkers – and only in about half of those cases do I mean that literally. We’re usually pretty good about kicking out groomers and people who actually want to fuck real life animals, but GaroShadowscale and Hypnotist Sappho (respectively) went way too long before being noticed.
If a person’s only exposure to the furry fandom was Youtube exposés about those two, maybe Internet Historian’s video on Rainfurrest 2015 thrown in for good measure, I wouldn’t blame them for thinking we were disgusting weirdos.
It’s unfortunate that only the exceptions to the generally extremely wholesome rule get press coverage.
