The furry fandom is pro-LGBTQ, pro-self-expression, pro-artist, pro-creator, pro-worker, largely anti-corporate, and we& #39;re... SUCCESSFUL as a space.
This is a problem for the right because it kind of shows that spaces can be heavily and openly left-wing and still be successful.

People say that hatred of furries is just poorly-veiled homophobia, and that& #39;s entirely true, but it& #39;s not JUST poorly-veiled homophobia. A lot of hatred of furries is centred around bitterness and spite over leftists being successful while rejecting the right wing.
Furries are, in general, a compassionate bunch. We don& #39;t WANT people amongst us who can& #39;t be bothered to pay a few more cents on their taxes so that less fortunate people get healthcare, because a lot of furries ARE those less fortunate people who need healthcare.
We don& #39;t WANT people amongst us who vote homophobic, racist leaders into power because we& #39;re a fandom populated mostly by LGBTQ people and of which a sizeable fraction are people of colour.
We& #39;re successful despite rejecting bigots, and we set an example to be proud of.

We& #39;re also a creative space that corporations can& #39;t own, can& #39;t buy, can& #39;t possess, can& #39;t corrupt. Content that the fandom creates gets fed back into the fandom and shared with everybody. The enthusiasts and the creators are part of the same community. That& #39;s beautiful.
