Why are more and more niche/weird subcultures getting lumped in with the current zeitgeist instead of being outcast and relentlessly bullied? We need to BULLY these autistic retards off the face of the earth just as we did not even a decade or two ago.Your fortune: （ ´_ゝ`）ﾌｰﾝ

We need to gatekeep our interests but I'm not sure how that can be done.
>>12865988checking those dubs can't hurt
just a guess but maybe it's because less people in general are socializing in "normie-approved" ways but can't/won't give up on society entirely, so they're being accepted, perhaps begrudgingly, into The Circle; probably not but it was the first thing to pop into my head, what do you guys think?
forgot to add that the barrier to entry for the internet is way lower now, since phones are so commonplace and even india/africa/wherever has accessYour fortune: Good Luck
>>12865988The subcultures that don't align with the current climate (e.g., certain male spaces, trad religious LARP, "problematic" subcultures) are self-reinforcingYour fortune: Outlook good
>>12865995I feel like a lot of people are looking for micro-identities and labels to obtain a sense of belonging in an increasingly fragmented world. Technically, this is "organic" but the chain of progression to obtain this label or micro-identity feels very fake to me, at least in some specific cases. I would not discount the chance of "pretending" being a factor in these cases.Your fortune: Bad Luck
>>12865972what if I want to gatekeep hobbies both from "anti-woke" incel retards and puritan anti-fun feminazis?I want subcultures to be a space where I can be weird, gay or horny without someone starting a fucking discourse over it.
>>12865972can we start with you?Furry fandom is literally just a branch of the LGBT at this point grooming teens into becoming gay and retarded and trans
>>12865988Making sure your communities are as transphobic as possible is the easiest way to gatekeep
>>12866015good point, i feel like the world has largely gone from having genuine connections, local or otherwise (how many people write to a penpal anymore? even i used to and stopped a little under a decade ago) to having to say "show/game/whatever i jerk my dink to IS my personality!"
every day you get the same exact post condemning problematic anime porn with hundreds of thousands of botted likes and then you look at who posted it and basically every time it'll be a furry, who told these dumb kids they were accepted by polite society
>>12866033dubs of accurate??
not to get too autismo, but it does make sense to me that this goes hand in hand with consumer culture, people wanting to not look "boring" will buy/do/say whatever they think will get people to like them or give them a sense of community. the producers of these potentially societally poisonous things have every reason to want to keep the gravy train flowing and will take anyone or anything that gets in the way of that downYour fortune: Average Luck
>>12866029I'm not denying it, I despise some aspects of the fandom in factYounger teens involved in the furry community are usually neuroatypical or awkward and don't have much of a social life outside of it. They are young and vulnerable and insecure, the fandom offers a very low-barrier entry point and they are happy to find acceptance within a community. Unfortunately, this is also a breeding ground for bad actors, and they take advantage of them by exploiting this dynamic.The furry fandom is also a very open environment with a wide tolerance range, even the more fucked-up fetishes are implicitly accepted. I wouldn't say most of it is inherently harmful or evil (just weird) but it does tend to attract and retain people with outright predatory or abusive tendencies who think they're in good company. This also creates a bubble where the shitty people themselves gain significant ground in the fandom, find cover, and retain gatekeeping to a minimum to the point where this is allowed to happen time and time again.Your fortune: Good news will come to you by mail
>>12866177i have a retard theory: do you think there's any amount of predators that try justifying their actions by thinking "i'm not talking to children, i'm talking to some little anime animal" and tricking their brain into believing that? i'll listen for the response on the air thanks

it fits with the agenda of weaponized sexual alienation
unlike anime you don't need to tell furfags that 3DPD isn't important because the only sex they have is gay
One time I asked someone if this person was a furry and they said yes. So I laugh and moved on.Your fortune: Excellent Luck
