what do leftists think about furries including the current state of the furry community in general? i used to be apart of the fandom and was drawn by the colorful animals, animations, and art which make me a furry and a artist. of course i was bullied for this hobby but that was long ago. i decided to leave the community and abandoned the fandom after it became a capitalistic husk of what it once was. as well as the fandom having a problem with the rise of puritanism, those kind of popfurs, conservatives or reactionaries, modern day burned furs, and of course. lack of animal rights and youth rights being prevalent in the fandom (literally all this anti zoo and anti pedo crap is just virtue signaling atp even when most of them aren’t interested in acting ontheir attraction)

so what does leftypol think about the current state of the furry fandom? is it good, bad, ugly, or neutral? let’s discuss!

Saying "the furry community / fandom" is like saying "the jazz community / fandom." It's a genre / subject matter in art, that's all.
Conventions are an issue and will be phased out by VR and Minecraft.
Touch digital grass.

Not really, the furry community and not just a vague "I'm into the funny animals" sentiment is predominantly American for a reason.

that tweet applies to literally any hobbyist subculture because theyre necessarily middle classers due to the barrier of entry requiring lots of money and or free time lol (inb4 "proletarians have lots of energy and free time duuuuuude")

The vast majority of furries are running on the "I'm into the funny animals' mindset though. You seem to be talking about a specific community of furries but calling it "THE Furry Community" in the same cadence someone disillusioned with the state of YouTube or Bluesky or whatever might refer to the handful of platorms they use as "THE Internet." (i.e. dead internet threorists)
You seem to be talking about Convention goers based on your citations.

There is fuck all barrier to entry when it comes to art genre hobbies like furry, anime or steampunk because at minimum you're just looking at images in before sleeping, maybe some crude crayon doodles, made costless by digital options like phone touchscreens and laptop trackpad. (proles have these you can't be employed legally (thus excluding lumpen) without one.)

I think making money from any firm of art is gay somehow, I just don’t like or trust it. And I HATE anyone who shills their Patreon so I’m not a huge fan of furry artists.

They draw good porn tho

lol it's not. there's huge furry subcultures in Germany, Russia, Japan, China, etc.

blatantly wrong, they exist in almost any continent, and in varying amounts each

…you call this a hobby?

That's why I view it as a genre of art over being a hobby. You can have a hobby around a genre of art, but that doesn't make the barrier to entry hobbyism.

do people live on the internet in their parent’s basement not knowing how hobbies work? i’ve seen furries walk around in animal costumes, have sex, wear kink gear, go to cons, or even interact with other furries in the community, even going as far as to make lore for their ocs or ship them. pretty sure that counts as a hobby and something productive than just looking at images

Yes but what I'm saying is the hobby is centered around the subject of the hobby, the genre of art, not the other way around.

My enemy is the middle class but I'll give them a pass if they waste their reserves on commissioning furry or anime art of my fetishes.

OP here again. i honestly don’t hate furries much because i met some nice ones and i used to be one myself so it would be hypocritical of me to hate furries. some of their arts are nice, some not so nice and is just eye straining, or some straight up pornographic which is peak. but the current state of the community and or fandom around it in general is cancer imo as of right now. although they will be bad apples in every other fandom it looks like the reactionaries have gotten louder ever since bc of paradox of tolerance

Come on now anon. Anyways reminder that furries are the only subculture to successfully tell nazoids to fuck off. Not even punks managed to do that. The only thing I agree with is that furries can skew white petty booj but there are plenty of prole (and certainly lumpen) furfags.

The n word thing is just false, as is the rest of the post, really. I've been in the fandom longer than that poster has been alive probably and I've quite literally never seen anyone say anything like that, and implying that weebs aren't wayyyy more prone to being fascists is laughable considering 4channel.org???

I hate furry porn because it depicts very real sexual scenarios shared between abusive petty bourgeoisie and their underaged victims, and I was not a part of it.
