The overt sexuality is a big part of what’s allowed furry culture to grow so organically based on donations and commissions without being heavily coopted by Capital and going mainstream. In a weird way, it’s very difficult to recuperate furries. I think as more people find out about this and they become a cultural talking point for conservatives, this will change like you’ve outlined.
Tony The Tiger is still going to therapy for the Twitch.tv incident.
But I have had awful arguments with the most lib furries basically saying that the fandom should be sanitized and handed over to capital, like pride, because that’s what lead to LGBT+ normalization.
That “normalization” was completely non-intersectional and prioritized privileged queer people over others. I know you know this, but the conflation of social progressivism under liberalism with that of true liberation is maddening.

It’s insane that the exact same arguments can be had about both such obviously serious stuff like queer liberation, and silly shit like furries
