>Most people noped out at "First, pick a server, but don't worry, this list only includes the ones who promise to be safe!", I always laugh when I see that "furry" is a category too choose server from on the official page. Sums up Mastodon perfectly. Too bad there is no "hentai" that would be the cherry on the cake.

Well, there's no "hentai" because you can't be a hentai or take part in the hentai lifestyle. Regardless, it makes sense that platforms promising openness would attract groups that aren't in the mainstream.

It sounds like you think "furry" and "hentai" are congruent categories. My understanding is that hentai is pornographic. Furry, conversely, is not.

  Not all furry content is, but all furry communities (or at least, enough that it rounds up to 100%) contain it.

  It’s still a weird sex community regardless of if it’s adherents swear it’s not.

    But it literally isn't. You're making a factually incorrect statement.

      Like I said, it’s adherents can pretend it’s not but no one’s buying it and it definitely is.

        I’ve been on the Internet longer than most of my contemporary peers have been alive. Furries are about as sexual as any other fandom. You don’t want to know the piles of Picard slash that has been written, then serial-filed to absolutely make it into a publishable novella. No, what you’re really saying but you might not realize you are is that you don’t like the queer/lgbt & sex-positive spaces that form in fandoms and which are less interested,conversely, in your judgement of them. Now, my UUCP job is nearly done. The latest installment of “The elves of Borimir” is out and my phone line is getting tied up watching you bozos hate on furries.

        Nope, they are way more sexualized than most communities. The existence of Zelda porn doesn’t mean I find it on basically any forum that discusses the topic nor does it show that people get into Zelda just to do weird sex stuff. Neither of these statements apply to the furry fandom because it is a sexual fetish that has tried to become mainstream whole most fandoms evolve sexual communities in the opposite direction.

Furries own way more real estate in software than you might think. They also contribute massive amounts of work and code to open-source.

  Basically everyone I work with right now is a furry and I met them all through a discord server for fans of MLP who also like compsci. Being a furry has been more effective for my networking (and therefore my career) than any certification I've pursued. I have to wonder, why do some people just not realize how deeply integrated furries are into the internet's infrastructure? Have they just never looked at their coworkers' profile pictures?
