I dunno, I've just noticed little comments and things here and there on Chapo and TrueAnon for example that kinda gives me the impression that they either don't take the subject seriously or don't care.

    Ultimately I think it’s because the entire case for being anti-furry is simply “it’s cringe”.

    Agreed. That was a great post and definitely exemplifies how we alienate comrades. ​It's punishing people who deviate from social norms, which is ultimately reactionary.

    I mean, they just said it’s a litmus test, IE a good indicator.

    She said the best litmus test, and I don't see it as any more of an indicator than most other reactionary views. Given there's a non negligible number of typically not ableist leftists who call furry stuff cringe, I would've argued it's less indicative had you not made a solid argument as to why neurodivergence would be more prevalent in communities like furries.

      Neurodivergence is also empirically more represented in the furry community for that matter. Off the top of my head, furries are something like 4 times more likely to have autism. It's also a majority queer community (if we consider that to either be neurodivergence or to otherwise be relevant for the same reasons) with only about 20% of the fandom identifying as heterosexual.
