    What’s the link for the furry hacker hosting in the Netherlands? I guess it’s the influence of the fediverse, but this scenario does sound more trustworthy

      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.
