Has become? That implies there was a time when it wasn't. The subculture is perfect for degenerates to gather since it allows them to engage in their fetishes anonymously behind a mask. This is bad, because there doesn't seem to be any consistency in how their communities operate or at least claim to operate; one could be purely sexual while another tries to veer away from that, and you wouldn't know until you're knee-deep in it (and there's no guarantee the latter won't just turn into the former due to the number of fetishist in it). Say whatever you will about something like BDSM fetishists; at least both you and they know where they stand. Worse, furries tend to attract children as well since the brightly-colored cartoon animal costumes and imagery appeals to them (and heck, they may even be based off characters from childrens' media), which makes the subculture attractive to pedophiles and groomers. There's just no redeeming it.
