I have known quite a lot of cishet nt furries, hard to do counts. I know some cons banned nazis which is not so much an indicator of leftism as just functional liberalism imo in the us. I mean, being isolated on the internet falls always in many diff directions, politically. could have changed lately as more are open outrageously gay and have pushed back against the weirder people. E.g. look at anime which attracts basically anybody from all directions. Wouldnt say that anime watchers have messed up politics just bc they watch anime. And there are different tiers to that as well like who can afford cons, why people go into seeing themselves as an anime viewer (opposed to somebody who occasionally watches anime)

I am just sceptical of the idea that hobbies/subcultures as a rule are a reliable indicator of identity or politics (where I presumed this was coming from) bc I see people trodding it out against a more class based analysis, except maybe one that squarely places all of these into a globally priviledged consumer class (ew, dirty ““third worldism”” ew ew).

Would still kinda group subcultures as consumption (in the wider sense of the word) habits, doesnt mean they are “bad”. It feels weird to tack “this person enjoys this or that hobby therefore they are most likely y” on things. I would guess the queers furs are more coherently organized and therefore more visible/ able to ban people that would kill them since they stick together as a community more? I should prolly finish the book on that which is lying on my device…
