    OwO *notices your info*

    Joking aside, I’m seriously questioning whether they’re actually furries. On the one hand, a lot of furries are pissed off at the US due to lack of affordable healthcare, the ongoing war against LGBT rights, etc. On the other hand, most furries support NATO to some extent, even if it’s just because the alternative is Russia/China/Middle East, etc who are known for being even worse about civil right.

    Then again, we have a group we’ve had a small right-wing extremist group we keep having to boot out of cons, meetups, etc, so I guess it’s possible. I’m just thinking it might be a false flag by Russia or a Russia-aligned group to try and sow division between the furry community and other communities we tend to be closely aligned with (like the LGBT community, the vast majority of furries are LGBT); or an attempt to get the furry community marked as an extremist organization (kinda like how juggalos are apparently considered an organized crime group by the FBI).

      Anyone can be a furry my guy, your opinions on things unrelated to the whole furry thing has no effect on whether or not youre one

      Plenty of hypocritical shitbags are also furries, more likely to be assholes that happen to be furry than a false flag

        While that’s true, most furries I’ve come into contact with tend to have very similar, left-wing views. It doesn’t stop someone from being right-wing furry, but from what I’ve seen, right-wing furries tend to have trouble finding a place in the community.

          It’s hard to be conservative and furry, because furries have never been part of the establishment.
