Quote:Which is immediately followed by a much more moderate furryfan smacking them upside the back of the head and the entire thing devolving into a nasty, backbiting argument that goes on for years and years and years, with people dragging old rivalries, angers, and slights out of the back of their emotional closets to choose sides and fling bile, until someone who has a sense of priorities and common sense that outweighs their issues and wahngst realizes that there's actually someone there who needs help and takes the original catgirl aside, says, "Look, these folks are losers. Let's go get some enchiladas.", and leaves the flamers to what they do best.
And let's not forget the racism against catgirls amongst the furryfen. The catgirls produced by the Boskone slavers aren't furry enough, you see. Plus they self-hate too much; "they should be GLAD not to be just hairless apes, anymore."
Because there's nothing more fractured and self-destructive than furry fandom.
