the furry thing is a final capstone astroturfing of normalizing sexualized children, trans, and pedophilia. I know what I saw on twitter. It's all related to kinks and sex.
Nope. Rule 34 and which ever other appropriate rules apply extended into furry animals all the way back to the earliest days of the internet.
At a certain point, it became mainstream but ConFurence, which was a furry convention, ran from 1989 to 2003.
I know a lot of random facts about the time because I spent a lot of time on the internet as a kid, but that one just took a quick Google. I had no idea that it was even that far back until just now.
well Gen Z are being hit with it hard, even to the point they think their identity is such. I'm seeing furry avatars in like 30% of apparant Gen Z accounts I run across, it's no longer "niche"
perhaps I should say "furry op phase 2"? if it wasn't begun as an op it sure seems to have been transformed into one
from AI: The furry movement began in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States. It originated from science fiction and fantasy conventions where fans of anthropomorphic animal characters gathered. These characters are depicted with human characteristics and personalities, but also have animal features. The movement gained momentum through underground comic books, role-playing games, and internet forums where fans of these characters could connect and share their interests. Today, the furry movement is a global subculture with conventions, gatherings, and online communities dedicated to anthropomorphic art and literature.
The exact point at which the furry movement took a stark sexual turn is difficult to pinpoint, as it is a gradual process influenced by various factors. However, some significant milestones that contributed to the sexualization of the movement include:
The establishment of online communities: In the early 1990s, the internet became more accessible, and furry fans began to connect through online platforms such as Usenet groups and web forums. This allowed for the sharing of sexual content and the exploration of sexual interests within the community.
The creation of Yerf and other furry art archives: In the late 1990s, websites like Yerf were established to showcase furry artwork. These sites included a mix of non-sexual and sexual content, further contributing to the sexualization of the movement.
The growth of furry conventions: Furry conventions began to emerge in the early 2000s, providing a space for fans to gather, share their interests, and socialize. Some of these conventions became known for their sexual content, as adult-themed panels and events were included in their programming.
The influence of the internet and social media: As the internet and social media platforms continued to grow, so did the availability of sexual content related to the furry movement. This further contributed to the normalization and acceptance of sexual exploration within the community.

I disagree on the order.
Furry "culture" is not a final capstone.
I actually think it was one of the earliest.
Really? I thought it was a fairly new thing
