       If you were to ask me at what moment the furry "fandom" lost the plot and officially lost any pretense of being about talking animals, I'd argue it was the Zoe Quinn furry commission.https://archive.fo/G1TLg

       In hindsight, this was the official moment in which the furry fandom was no longer about talking animals, period. Zoe Quinn was very, very infamous for latching herself to trendy shit in an attempt for a grasp of fame (like a lot of other e-celebs online). Eventually it became trendy that one day, if you wanted to be the coolest kid in trendy Twitter circles you could be a furry.So attention seekers like Zoe Quinn or Ana Valens decided to identify as such, maybe a year or so after the whole political schism (kicked off by the poster of that image, Deo) began. It didn't take long for much of the autists who stuck around to finally be replaced by who the older fandom had deemed "furry lifestylers" at best (attention seekers who wanted to LARP as an animal or buy into a lifestyle). On the social media front, YouTube influencers who were furries were rising up and getting e-famous before moving to TikTok and unsurprisingly were able to get those who had no interest into talking animals into finding a new community of the month to join. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/furry-fandom-tiktok-gen-z-midwest-furfest-924789/But all of this goes back years obviously, due to the fact that the furry fandom literally has zero gatekeeping mechanism and the only one it pretends to have is political in nature. What are they gonna do, complain online?

       @PhenomX6 A long time ago there was a faction called "the burned furs" that attempted to gatekeep and push the fandom in a direction that wasnt just unrestricted sexual degeneracy with a cartoon animal coat of painNaturally they were ousted

       Furries are the kind of people who will draw fursonas for celebs if they mention possibly being one or a minor interest in it.

       @PhenomX6 Just like mammals, those furries are more territorial than you realize.
