Unsurprising. They’re furries.
 
No, but seriously. My experience with furries is that they’re one of the most hostile “communities” (to stretch the term so thin that it’s transparent) to be found online. And the two fastest ways to turn them rabid are mentioning politics or religion. You might as well have painted a target on your head, handed them a gun and dared them to pull the trigger while insulting the clashing colors of their water-headed fursuits.

Oh, you know it. But they basically get told off by other users and, importantly, the mods.

Things is, these were people in the RP forum on Derpibooru, who, just a few days earlier, were encouraging me to join them in roleplaying. Until this happened.
 
Seriously, no one else threw that accusation my way but them.

Same. I consider myself a furry based on my love for anthro animals in general, but fuck is that community toxic as all hell. It’s like twitter as a community.

Exactly. I like some of the art but I will never call myself a furry save in jest as a form of self-deprecating humor. Also get out of my fucking head; I was just thinking “they’re like a mini-twitter”.

I’ll still call myself a furry, considering the amount of art and porn I look at, it would be disingenous. But fuck do I not associate with the community. I actually ended up muting a good bunch of the artists I follow on twatter because of how fucking toxic they turned when the whole BLM stuff started.

Hmmmmm. Despite some people being very insistent that “bronies are furries” or a “subsection of furries”, I just don’t see it.
 
My own reasoning would be that I discovered furries years before FIM started, and even though I spent some few months browsing through several sites looking at furry art on and off, I never really got into it. It was a novel and interesting thing, and some of the artwork was really cool, but I lost interest pretty quickly.
 
Not quite so with pony. Heh.
 
hmm… now that I think about it, those very insistent people were on the derpi mod team.. I think.. heh.

I joined here about 4 days after what happened back at Derpibooru. I blame the drama going on back there on Twitter SJWs and also people bringing politics to a site on which it had no place.

I mean, I do believe that bronies are a subsection of furries. Just like zootopia fans are a subsection of furries. Obviously not all bronies, since some might just enjoy the show for characters slash writing, but if someone enjoys the concept of talking ponies, then to me that’s enough to qualify as a furry.  
But like I said, being a furry doesn’t mean being part of their shit community, because fuuuuuuuck that noise.

The reason the fist ‘Bronies’ that existed outside of /b/ troll threads drew a definate line in the sand, ironically, was to distance themselves from the at the time fight between gayfur and nazifur. They hated the constant squabbling and thought ponies should be a space where everyone could co-exist without getting into non-pony related slap fights.

Oooh. Just had a mini epiphany.
 
Right, so, furries. They want to be furries. Not as in, “part of the furry fandom”, but they want and dream of being anthropomorphic animals. They dress in fursuits, wear cat ears, tails, etc.
 
I have no such desires or fantasies. I’d like to meet ponies, but I’m plenty happy being human. I’d want to be human if I met them, just so I could pet them silly :D
 
Sounds like distinguishing point between furries and bronies, though there are bronies that would want to be ponies too. hmmh

I think the funniest part of this whole ordeal is the fact that everyone getting on a moral soapbox to say “Nazis are bad” made me want to label myself as a Nazi

Oh and the whole furry thing that’s apparently being discussed: yeah honestly I don’t even try to defend furries anymore–I was a furry for about 6-7 years, and that’s all changed because of all the toxicity. Most of the big furry voices are radical leftists who spout things like ‘ACAB’ and are generally just annoying as shit to try to listen to

This. Up until may or so I still called myself a furry in my bio’s everywhere. That changed once I realised just how terribly obnoxious the community is.

Yeah I wouldn’t go that far, but I never knew I could get annoyed at someone saying “fuck nazis” (because yeah, obviously, nazis are dumbasses, thank you captain obvious)

@sapphie  
My favorite furry artist, Troutsworth, fell down this path
 
On his discord server, he had a rule saying ‘no politics’ and that counted for everything.  
Then guess what, BLM hits and suddenly that rule gets an unspoken change that politics are banned unless it’s what Trout agrees with. The server was flooded with anti-police imagery, art telling people to go hurt/kill cops, and every account he had suddenly had ACAB plastered all over it.
 
Yeah I don’t follow Trout anymore.

“It’s not politics if I believe it is righteous!” is such an annoying attitude. I legit despise it when people try to pass off their opinions as “fact” or as “the only right option” (whether I agree with them or not||—and in this case, as an anarchist I kinda do but also not really||)

That’s a whole topic to get into but really, nobody should be telling people to kill/hurt cops. They’re innocent, hard working men and women. Regardless of how you stand on police, you should respect that there is a human behind the badge. No one deserves to be killed because of the color of the uniform that they wear.

@sapphie  
this was part of my issue with derpibooru banning “nazi content”  
not everybody is going to agree that [thing] is good and [other thing] is bad, everything is very subjective and people form opinions based on many different variables
 
either ban everything even remotely political, or ban nothing and accept discourse (which is generally my take)

Yeah same. I’d be fine with it if a new website said “fuck politics” and completely banned it. I wouldn’t use that website, but I wouldn’t make a fuss. But an 8-yo website suddenly doing a 180 is yikes.
