As someone who’s been in the furry community since the 90’s I get so annoyed when I see (mostly) young or new furs talk about how the fandom is going downhill or isn’t as good as it used to be or whatever.

The fuck it is. It’s so much better now than it used to be. No fandom is perfect but good god some of y’all have no idea how things used to be. We’ve grown so much in the right direction it’s downright inspiring.

@Tana Amen. I was part of the emergence of the furry community as a distinct entity in the early 1980s, and from my observation you are absolutely correct. It is so much larger, more vibrant, more creative, more amazing than it ever was in the early days.
