I find it interesting how the furry community has transformed over the years. It was very politically neutral when I discovered it as a teenager. Now, about +15yrs later, it’s very left leaning and it seems like a lot of furries tend to be relatively politically active. It’s kinda wild.
it makes sense to me. ostracized people veer away from mainstream narratives and that gives them some degree of instrinsic shielding from the propaganda firehose that defines the media and social groupthink.
the same used to be true for feminists and queers and they’ve both gone left as a result. we’re seeing them start to go to the right now that they’re starting to become part of the mainstream; as evidenced by the aesthetics and “trad wife” movements that boosted trump in the last elections.
wait, <tinfoil> is that what hipsters were? an illuminatt attempt to make not being maintstream so mainstream that societal outsiders would rise from the grave vote republican? </tinfoil> ah shit me noodle
