I continue to re-iterate that Furries are the "canary in the coal-mine" of a free society. If they are either hunted or uplifted by the state; it is an admission that the government has failed in it's responsibility to focus on real problems and core issues; and has justified a revolution against itself.

The problem with furries is less their porn and more the fact that their communities are open-air mental asylums. There's an unbelievable amount of very clearly mentally ill people who find themselves a support group of other mentally ill people, who will all convince eachother that their mental illness is something positive. This pattern, exemplified by pre-porn-ban tumblr, and now breeding on reddit and twitter, is the plague of internet communities - and furries are an almost exclusively online community.
As you point out: it is the plague of internet communities.
Frankly, I'd actually argue that furries have been as harmed by Leftism and the inernet as every other cultural institution.
Obviously, furries are not a cultural institution, just a fandom. But consider the prevalence of homosexual furry art, as compared to the 1970's & 1980's when furry art was predominantly heterosexual in nature. And was typically as comedic as "The Lusty Argonian Maid". Even for a niche, counter-cultural, degenerate, community of introverted geeks; some normalization would have existed through their required physical social interactions.
I think the fandom's online nature has likely made it more degenerate and homosexual than it would otherwise have been, and that is the result of modern technological (and likely political) influences on the culture of relatively young people.
Strangely, I would bet that stronger physical communities may make them less degenerate; though I would add a caveat to that. A physical community would only make them less degenerate if the influence of Leftism wasn't present. I actually think normal social interaction has a moderating presence; but Leftism promotes a pathological approach to all human interactions.
A union of Communist accountants would descend into madness, sociopathy, and degeneracy; but a grouping of "right-wing furries" would probably result in only a moderate amount of degeneracy.

I agree.

I've encountered this observation before. It was before my discovery of the community, really, but looking at old furry art, and the work of older artists who've been active since the 80's , heterosexual art with was still the overwhelming majority of content even through the 90's.
It was only in the 2000's that hetero and vanilla content started to really get squeezed into a smaller corner of the community.
a grouping of "right-wing furries" would probably result in only a moderate amount of degeneracy.
Probably. If not 'less degenerate', then certainly 'less fucking obnoxious and in-your-face about it'. I could probably babble on at length about the behavior trends I notice in SJW furfags and those who avoid such subjects like typical 'shy conservatives'.

Yeah, I think anyone who isn't a Leftist furry or a genuine furfag, would try to maintain respectability towards the group or community; where this would not be the case as we see from something like Pride.
I can see it. The whole LGB+ thing is skirting dangerously close, isn't it? I think "two spirits" is accepted in it already, so all it really needs is zoophilia to combine into furry. Or would you maintain that the label and specific group itself must be acknowledged?
I don't think that's what I'm going for. Here's my comment from Reddit, to explain:
I've actually maintained that furries are a measurable unit for the need of revolution.
Furries are, by definition, both taboo and comical. First, their sexuality is at best "deviant" in the most tolerant and open of societies. This means that under every and all circumstances they will perpetually remain on the fringes of sexuality if at all, unable to be fully integrated into the rest of society. Even in a tolerant society would never seek to institutionally promote them, as they can never form the bedrock of a major social structure that serves a major economic benefit. In general, they must be taboo in most normal societies that are incentivizing any sort of gender roles, sexuality, or family structure. In addition to that, by being perpetually taboo, furries inevitably involve themselves in other taboos which means that even in the event that they were to become tolerable, they could never become fully accepted for all the other taboos they will drag with them.
Second, furries can never pose an actual threat to society. They are, institutionally, harmless and irrelevant. They are taboo in a way that is not reserved for cannibalism, but taboo in a way that we look at wearing dildos on your head. Ridiculous nearly to the point of being offensive, but the damage is not to the society, but mostly to the individual engaging in the conduct. Furries are a giant "self-own". People are never going to be terrified of the 'threat' of furries, instead they would only end up laughing uncontrollably at the wildly silly bullshit they are witnessing before them. They can never be taken seriously, and anyone who does engage in such activity, will always end up with awkward discussions with people snickering at them behind their back.
Wherefore, we can actually tell how repressive a society is by it's desire to repress furries. They are the "dude-in-a-canary-fursuit" in a coal mine, if you will.
Should furries inhabit an open, free, and tolerant society, the result is simple: they will be ignored for the most part, laughed at for the next, and seen as utterly irrelevant and probably harmless.
Any authoritarian screaming about the threat that furries pose to society, will always be seen a raving mad man. Furries can not be a threat to society. This is the face of a furry being serious, sfw. It is impossible to take that seriously. If the government were to actively start repressing furries through arrests, intimidation, and violence, it would be a gigantic point to the society that the government is not capable of being run by intelligent people. Furries are not only never a threat to society, nor the state, but they are always going to be a waste of time. No government resources need to be expended on preventing the expansion of furries. Furries are a self-defeating fandom. As long as they aren't bothering anyone else, no state action is ever needed. If a government declares that this, sfw is a threat to it, then the people have an obligation to replace the government with a stronger government that isn't so pathologically weak and fragile.
On the other hand, if a government or institution were so fundamentally misguided to promote furries as moral good for society, encouraging and incentivizing people to become furries, even socially engineering them to do it; it would be met by still more open derision and mockery. Any propaganda efforts would be automatically rejected by a population that has lost all tolerance for such a bizzare effort. The government would have to be taken even less seriously than the furries themselves. Other forces would legitimately claim that the government or institutions are being run by the most bizzare, deluded, (and likely socially deviant) types of people who would find no welcome among the general population. As such, the government & it's institutions must be replaced.
No matter what, furries act as a giant warning to the rest of society when things have gotten so extreme that the government must be replaced by something more sensible.
Like the animals they seek to mimic, their bright colors are nature's warning sign to others.
encouraging and incentivizing people to become furries
Here's my major point. Politically, we do have some incentives given to degenerates. While I think we can agree that it has not reached an alarming level demanding revolution, I do think it's worth being troubled over.
Of course, the topic was specifically furries, but I think it's okay to spread it out to all fringe degenerates. I can tolerate homo pride parades (since I never see them), but a parade for furry, zoo, cannabilism, etc would be quite alarming. It's kind of a stretch, but I could blame part of the whole tranny thing on the political priviledges enjoyed by females (even a little is too much). The government likely didn't intend that result, at least. Positive reinforcement is effective, so I don't like seeing it generated by policy so easily - it's bad enough we have to deal with problems at a cultural level, we don't need help making it worse.
I thought about it a little more and am now speculating that grifters (all exploitable communities get grifters occasionally) from these fringe "communities" are the primary drivers of getting the fringe to become normalized. If I were a guy scamming furries, I might have an enjoyable amount of power/money, but if furry suddenly became mainstream then my power would increase. Luckily, most of these fringe grifters don't have the smarts or connections to pull this off; they're probably grifting in the fringe because they couldn't cut it elsewhere. However, all it really takes is a couple of high-power retards to agree with the grifter and give birth to new political incentives.
I do disagree with some of the minor points in your argument, as I have had some really positive experiences with furries, but I won't actually argue any of it because it's in my best interest for furries to be undesirable. If they weren't so openly ridiculous, I'd have to see more grifters messing with them, and I don't want that even though the majority of them deserve it (they even contain a disturbing amount of middle managers and other do-nothing-for-big-bucks vocations). I want to mention it at least, because I think it's psychologically fascinating for a person to fabricate a persona based on what they wish they were like. The ones that choose bright colors and other attention-grabbing details are plainly desiring attention, which can lead to an unpleasant personality, so I can validate you there, at least.
Your hypothesis about grifting has merit, but I don't know how I could prove it.

I don't want that either, because that's the least degenerate thing about them. Sad, more than anything else, because they want to be beautiful and attractive, but don't have it. Instead of doing the work to overcome that, they move towards playing dress-up which is more expensive, but less personally intensive.
I think they have a misunderstanding of cause and effect there that makes them as tragic as they are. I've encountered several that wanted things like adoration, love, respect, but they didn't have a clue how to realistically achieve their desires. I think back and wonder if they even truly understood their own desires.
It makes the whole fursona thing more ironic/tragic, because they've developed this practice that makes hugbox functionality highly efficient by giving direct clues as to what they desire, but then everyone acts blind to what they see unless it suits their own desires.
Edit: To be clear, I'm saying that desires such as "be beautiful and attractive" are not true desires, and that there's typically a deeper desire pushing such ideas to the surface of the mind as the consciousness struggles to translate the subconscious.
They are looking for social value and community at a fundamental level. They have no idea how to achieve that in the normal world, and this is probably the first time they've ever felt like they were successful at it.
It's like the social value and community they seek... but it isn't it. It's the best they can do because they haven't been properly socialized; and the bar is set low enough to be achievable for the most low status individuals.
I was a 12 year old with completely unrestricted, completely unsupervised, completely unmonitored internet access in my bedroom in 1999. This, despite my father being a microchip R&D analyst who must ABSOLUTELY have known better, but for whatever reason was completely negligent in this regard.
I pretty much immediately stumbled across BDSM femdom and macro furry hyper herm vore porn within a week of getting that computer, and, I'm sad to say, it immediately stuck with me forever. Like, there's no removing it from my brain, there's no disabling the neurological connection. It's there forever no matter how much my concious mind says 'this is fucking poison', the neurons fire anyway.
Thanks a lot, dad.
So yeah, any parents here, don't leave your newly pubescent son alone in a room with the internet for hours on end. Get off your ass and take him outside. Do things with your kids and don't use a computer or a TV as a babysitter, holy shit.
ET for the Atari 2600. I learned from a very early age that video games could be bad. And I had Swordquest! I had no idea what to do in THAT game but I never considered it bad at that age.
I have a sister who is 15 years older than I am. To me it was never porn, but scary shit.
I remember being very little and shitting myself because I watched The x-files with her when I was like 3 or 4.
Also, my retard ass cousin gave me and my other cousin (same age as me) a bootleg video tape of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, because he looked for 2 seconds and "lol, cartoon about dogs, the little girls will love it". It was a huge jump from The Aristocats to one-eyed demon bear killing dogs when they are not killing each other. Then years later, when I was about 12, I tried watching it again, because a whole separate cousin had it and just noped out.
(Funny enough, I have met multiple people who remember the "traumatic dog anime with the murder bear" from their childhoods around here. I think someone back then was a funneh one and just distributed the bootlegs in the name of Satan.)
I remember playing the likes of Fallout & Fallout 2 and Shadow Warrior before I hit puberty. Does that count? It means I could get a bit nostalgic for when Fallout wasn't dog shit.
Technically the original Predator film when I was like 8 when my cousins put it on. They were all about the same age too and had seen it before and tbh it didn't actually worry me in the slightest.
Facehuggers on the other face
Raptors opening doors in the original Jurassic Park however... 😐
Was abused as a kid, so I saw lots of messed up shit from dysfunctional parents and their "friends". Also spent half my childhood on relatives farms to get away from my parents. On the farm they raised and slaughtered their own livestock.
Haven't been much shocked by any media since, but disturbed by the growing open acceptance of perversity. But that is a baser nature of mankind... Infinite Perversity in Infinite Combinations...
T1 has a sex scene, but there's nothing in T2 I wouldn't let a kid watch.
If a kid's old enough to play with toy soldiers, toy guns and toy swords, there's nothing in T2 that they aren't already imagining every time they play.
When I was 6, I caught our cat having a gang bang in the back yard. My grandmother came to check out what I was so upset about. "They're killing her!" "Go to your room." "But -" "Go." Then, a couple months later, she's waking me up early (it was summer) to come see the kittens in the box she'd set up in her bedroom.
For my tenth birthday, my mom took me to see a "double feature" that consisted of Force Ten from Navarone and the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Glad we saw the war one first.
And then that Playgirl with the picture of Long Dong Silver the neighbour kids had a year or two later; our expressions gave the grown-ups much mirth.
You have to remember, I was a child before VCRs and video games were a thing.
No, but they got good homes, and people came by to adopt them pretty quickly. (It's really not difficult to find homes for cats, but what's more difficult is finding rental properties that allow pets. It's interesting how Bob Barker never called out landlords for this, and put "pet overpopulation" solely on the shoulders of pets and owners.)
Awwwh, that's lovely. A coworker of mine recently adopted a cat. They assumed it was much younger than it was, so by the time they wanted it spayed, she already got pregnant. I think there is only one left, but they intended to keep one anyway.
But yeah, in a way I understand not wanting to deal with people potentially mess up your property/disappearing without taking their pets. (In my country it recently happened, some Chinese guy and his gal left a dog, a cat and some rabbits in a flat and disappeared).
It also sucks, because the people who want to do it right are the ones who get punished, as always.
Definitely late night softcore porn on Showtime. I didn't really find it sexy so much as unintentionally hilarious, bad plots, terrible acting, etc. Really fueled my later love for MST3K though.
The part near the end of the first Terminator just before and when it gets crushed, also Jaws 2, the '88 The Blob, and parts of the first Alligator movie were all shit I should not have seen when I did.
When I was 8 yrs old my uncle gave me a VHS tape with three movies on it. The first was the GI Joe animated movie, then the Transformers animated movie. Last one was Predator 2. I don't remember details of the violence but I DO rrmber there was a sex scene in it then the predator offed a gang leader while his woman was riding him. Nice tits.
Receiving a box of noticeably used porno mags around age 8. So I got my fill of porn even without having any internet before college. Perhaps it was intended to replace "the talk". At least there were some really cool pulp magazines in there (about 20 issues of Eerie and Creepy).
I can't think of a thing that seemed inappropriate for me to be watching, though according to the MPAA, I shouldn't have been watching Batman Returns and Jurassic Park as a kindergartener.
Clicked on something shady (I think, foggy memory) and was faced with a seizure-inducing popup featuring a naked woman at the tender age of 5 or 6. Can't remember exactly.
Those would be Dina Meyer's boobs. Denise's would have been Wild Things.
Did she actually show boobs in wild things or just that sexy school girl uniform with that sexy sexy bra?
May have to re-watch that certain scene.
I think she was the one getting champagne poured on her tits.
Neve campbell Hot back in the day too.
I was about to say, seeing Denise Richards' boobs is always a good thing.
She was ok in Starship Troopers but tbh her best role was in Tammy and the T-Rex
I continue to re-iterate that Furries are the "canary in the coal-mine" of a free society.

If a kid's old enough to play with toy soldiers, toy guns and toy swords, there's nothing in T2 that they aren't already imagining every time they play.
When I was 6, I caught our cat having a gang bang in the back yard. My grandmother came to check out what I was so upset about. "They're killing her!" "Go to your room." "But -" "Go." Then, a couple months later, she's waking me up early (it was summer) to come see the kittens in the box she'd set up in her bedroom.
For my tenth birthday, my mom took me to see a "double feature" that consisted of Force Ten from Navarone and the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Glad we saw the war one first.
And then that Playgirl with the picture of Long Dong Silver the neighbour kids had a year or two later; our expressions gave the grown-ups much mirth.
You have to remember, I was a child before VCRs and video games were a thing.
Did you get to keep the kittens tho?
No, but they got good homes, and people came by to adopt them pretty quickly. (It's really not difficult to find homes for cats, but what's more difficult is finding rental properties that allow pets. It's interesting how Bob Barker never called out landlords for this, and put "pet overpopulation" solely on the shoulders of pets and owners.)
Awwwh, that's lovely. A coworker of mine recently adopted a cat. They assumed it was much younger than it was, so by the time they wanted it spayed, she already got pregnant. I think there is only one left, but they intended to keep one anyway.
But yeah, in a way I understand not wanting to deal with people potentially mess up your property/disappearing without taking their pets. (In my country it recently happened, some Chinese guy and his gal left a dog, a cat and some rabbits in a flat and disappeared).
It also sucks, because the people who want to do it right are the ones who get punished, as always.
Definitely late night softcore porn on Showtime. I didn't really find it sexy so much as unintentionally hilarious, bad plots, terrible acting, etc. Really fueled my later love for MST3K though.
A crunching sound, and then a motorhome moving away from me very fast. Took me forever to realize what I had seen.
RIP that turtle in the road.
Sadly, I was the turtle.
Uh, oh. Hope there wasn't too much damage done.
The part near the end of the first Terminator just before and when it gets crushed, also Jaws 2, the '88 The Blob, and parts of the first Alligator movie were all shit I should not have seen when I did.
When I was 8 yrs old my uncle gave me a VHS tape with three movies on it. The first was the GI Joe animated movie, then the Transformers animated movie. Last one was Predator 2. I don't remember details of the violence but I DO rrmber there was a sex scene in it then the predator offed a gang leader while his woman was riding him. Nice tits.
Receiving a box of noticeably used porno mags around age 8. So I got my fill of porn even without having any internet before college. Perhaps it was intended to replace "the talk". At least there were some really cool pulp magazines in there (about 20 issues of Eerie and Creepy).
A man getting killed on my porch or a poorly hidden porno video.
Stileproject.com maybe?
All I remember is Goatse and Lemonparty memes
I can't think of a thing that seemed inappropriate for me to be watching, though according to the MPAA, I shouldn't have been watching Batman Returns and Jurassic Park as a kindergartener.
Clicked on something shady (I think, foggy memory) and was faced with a seizure-inducing popup featuring a naked woman at the tender age of 5 or 6. Can't remember exactly.
Getting a link to mylazysundays over MSN Messenger from a then-buddy was a thing that I would rather not have ever happened but it did.
They'd only try to fuck it.
Bear wouldn't play that shit. It'd go just fine.
That would only speed up their demise.
