OK, I thought ti was a little weird when men joined up with the pretty pony crowd. But not terrible -- just unexpected. Finding that lots of folks like to dress up as animals and go to a convention was a bit of a shocker but certainly no more strange than civil war reenactments.

But I have to tell you finding out that a measure of the faux furry friends crowd are now card carrying NAZI's was a real head turner.

I guess the election of trump has really tumbled our gyros more than I thought.

Oh wow, it's the gamergate playbook all over again. If I point you to the people who accuse the raiders of harassment, you'll just say they are biased liberal shills. This can go back and forth until I give up in disgust, at which point you'll declare victory.

I'm not doing that again. We're done. Congrats, you won.

Those can't be authentic alt-right furries--some of their fur is B-R-O-W-N !

So you've got no evidence nor real reason to hate them, you just know you're supposed to hate them because that's what everyone else is doing right now.

Okay.

Haven't you ever heard of the FA? The Night of the Long Fangs?

Ah… but for some, their true colour is jet black. Everyone is for free expression until they run into someone expressing a diametrically-opposed viewpoint.

For furries, it tends to be "all of my best friends are furries".

It's cute that you think that furry news pays enough to hire people.

Well, researchers have found a positive correlation between having a carnivorous character and deeper involvement in furry fandom…

That's true; there are typically hundreds of local artists and dealers at such events. There's a new furry event being organized, but they couldn't replace this year's event with only four months' notice.

That was so unrealistic. Any self-respecting fursuiter would have taken the head off first. You don't want to mess up a suit.

Anyone who considers him/herself a Nazi Brony is wilfully ignoring the point of the show.

I wonder how many Nazi furries there really are. In the internet age, it takes only a handful of people to stir up stupid shit.

If the legal threats and the gun threats don't convince you, I don't know what will.
