   To cap off this series of effortposts, one more inconvenient truth I think is worth noting is that in the furry scene, there's two things worth remembering. The first is that furries are highly influenced by each other, if you're an artist you'll get numerous autists copying you or wanting a character in your universe. The second thing is that well, furries are influenced by porn and fetishes. The third is that many broken people use the fandom to have every single fetish enabled, without the fear of mom and dad's disapproval. But don't take my word for it.
   
   One blog by a furry who was running a website hosting one infamous furry survey had a gem of a schizopost a few years back saying the quiet part out loud; that said author would not have been pressured into it so easily if not for being in a community that literally enables it.

   Essentially, the furry "fandom" was a perfect storm for this mindset to catch fire. By offering the delusion of "true self", one can be convinced if they put on socks and take drugs, their life will be fixed, and this is made worse by the fact that every furry you run across online will be miserable, depressed, and trying to find their place in life.
   
   The furry fandom is not about being a fan of media about talking animals. It's about escapism and escaping into a world where everything is good, and nothing bad ever happens, and you want to live this world of dopamine hits all day long. It's no different than Second Life, a form of escapism for broken nerds to waste their brains away on, delaying the inevitable.
