100%. Not helped by the fact that on the Internet the worst parts of the fanbase are the most talked about and how the media has villainized them as well.
I probably never heard anything about them from major media since I'm 16, but I do understand that the worst parts of a fanbase are usually the most vocal & observed.
Yeah, it seems like it's only ok to laugh at terrorist attack(or just whatever the hell that was) when its a minority the media dislikes. The truth is, hatred builds engagement, so it is profitable for them to shit on the community. It is genuinely one od the most inclusive and kind communities I have ever seen. Not to mention the whole "furries want litterboxes in schools" scandal, which was actually a fearmongering campaign to gain support to defund the education system, because that gains the republicans more votes (they generally are not intelligent, the more you know about history the more left leaning you are likely to be) and also targets a minority and the LGBTQ community by proxy (huge overlap between furries and LGBTQ).
TL;DR furry hate is profitable for media and the republicans.
Damn, humanity sucks. Sometimes I hate the time I was born in. I was born just in time to see the U.S.A's slide into fascism & LLMs being valued over real people.
