I personally have liked whenever the fandom scares off the normies. I want the
furry fandom to stay deviant, underground, and taboo. My nightmare is for the
fandom to get general acceptance. Imagine seeing fursuits in Walmart :(

I've always thought it was really funny too when people are like "only a tiny
amount of furries are into the sex side of the fandom". I have met hundreds if
not thousands of furries, and literally none have been in the fandom solely
for the SFW side of things. I'm sure those people exist, but the percentage is
miniscule for sure.

Another funny thing is when people seem to think their exact level of kink is
where the line is but that is a more general rant.
