Obvious answer: institutional backing.
But I wonder why troons succeeded in garnering this kind of support while furries failed. I pull a complete blank on why. If anything, the ridiculousness of denying one's own gender is just as ridiculous as denying one's own species.
The similarities are uncanny:
- Origins in the pride/gay rights bullshit
- Delusions of self: "I am not what I am, I am what I imagine."
- Cluster effect: exposure to trannies creates trannies, just like exposure to furries creates furries.
- Insufferable personalities and overbearing self-inserting into normal spaces.
- Claiming negative reactions of the previous point as prosecution. "Literal Trans Genocide" vs "Fursecution"
- Expensive conversion to one's perfect form: Chopadickectomy vs full body Fursuit.
- Abject degenerate sexual tendencies with zero self restraint
- Subversive even to the concept of normality, seemingly proud to be a deviant.
- Riddled with mental illness: anxiety, depression, prone to violence
The fetish is a lot less prevalent than cross dressing.
As gross as what furries actually DO in their fursuits is, the normie who doesn't know about that just thinks of them like wacky sports and marketing mascots.
A furry in costume doesn't elicit the natural revulsion in normal men that a tranny does. There isn't a century if fartsniffing pseduoscience attempting to justify how a furry is really a zebra or whatever. These two factors mean they are politically less useful for exposing the enemies of the revolution.
Nobody can say with a straight face that a furry is actually a zebra, unlike brainwashed NPCs who feels righteous indignation whenever it is pointed out that ugly men in wigs and dresses aren't women.
