    Furries has made real, powerful, and constant efforts to purge fascists from their spaces.

    In 2017, there was a massive push to remove the nazi furs from public spaces. As far as I’m aware, their numbers never recovered, and since then, community members have kept the effort going.

      I haven’t looking into the community in a while, but I do remember a weirdly high number of people in furry documentaries and interviews having like SS bands and other nazi insignia. Glad they purged that.

        Yeah, nazifurs, or Furry Raiders. They were banned a lot, everywhere. And then there was a whole thing where that right wing asshole Milo Yiannopolous was talking a big game about how he was going to go to a furry convention. So, he got pre-emptively banned from the event, and then he was online talking a big game about planning to show up… people were expecting violence… and he never did.

        I know I’m not the only one who laughed and laughed. I really enjoy reading about lots of subcultures online, and whenever the furry drama pops up, it’s some of the most riveting.
