Seriously. I watched it all. It almost made me fucking cry.
seriously now i'm a bit depressed and angry that the fandom that i like and want to be associated with is like this, and i feel like taking it out on either myself or this $200 music sound module my dad bought me that's on my desk. i'm trying to restrain myself.
The main points in the video (which are also the reasons why I want to leave) are:
- If people are going to prey on little children and get them to do stuff they shouldn't,
- If the fandom is going to be a breeding ground for horny teens, kiddy fuckers, and animal fuckers,
- if people are going to be sociopathic about sex ("OwO i will ask you to rp with me until you get annoyed and you block me", i was one of these people so I know what it was like),
- if STDs are going to be given to people in the fandom without people's consent,
- if furries are going to be the degenerate sex freaks that they constantly claim not to be,
- if the fandom is going to be full of really hateful people,
- if the fandom is going to be full of special snowflakes and people defending them, and full of depressed and socially awkward people and shit, who only want to bitch and moan and rant, and cuddle if they want,
- if the fandom is going to be perpetually high-school-minded without ever growing up, without any maturity,
- if the fandom is going to be a "hivemind" full of SJW's who take things out of context and drive people to the point of suicide, and an "anti-hivemind" who is supposedly against this "hivemind" but does the exact same things as said "hivemind",
- if the fandom's "rules" are going to be hypocritical (e.g. feral artwork is okay because it's just art, but no cub art isn't, again, the work of the "hivemind"),
- if the "vocal minority" is going to be 1/3 of the fandom, instead of 5% like people claim it to be (and that people even make this claim),
- if people are going to claim that the fandom is better than it is,
- if the fandom is going to be incessantly toxic,
- if the fandom is going to have a higher concentration of the listed above than any other fandom,
then people should not be a part of the fandom.
Like I WANT to be a part of the fandom but these things greatly concern me.
Another thing is this gem I found:
Like seriously idk what to think or do.

The Furry fandom is overtly sexual. Every single one of the points this guy listed is 100% true except that I'd consider the "vocal minority" to be larger and even a majority. The thing with furries is unlike most fandoms there is no central focus. There isn't a game or show or anything that has a group of fans surrounding it, it's just a bunch of people that are weirdly attracted to animals. If you cut out the NSFW part and be an "SFW furry" then you are depriving yourself of 99% of the fandom's focus. As much as talking about "degenerates" sounds dumb, furries truly fit that definition. Most of the furry fandom's appeal is art and, if not most, I'd say that there's a tremendous amount of disgusting drawn bestiality that is justified because they make the dogs look like people. I hate the fandom because from personal experience and observation furries are almost exclusively focused on sex, drama, and porn. The public hates the fandom because without any personal experience and very minimal observation they see the same thing. And in regards to the Kero the Wolf "drama", most of the fandom made tweets about how "we as the fandom need to do better, we can do it guys! =D" which is just the same as "Thoughts and prayers" when a mass shooting happens in that it is meaningless talk and accomplishes no change.
Like seriously idk what to think or do.
