/r/furry_irl turns on a gay, black furry when he uses his platform to call out Republicans

A lot of them are already radicalized, most of them are at least liberals. "Nazi furs fuck off" posts do get quite a lot of upvotes, along with any Nazi defenders in the comments getting downvoted, at least from what I've seen. I'd give it a good chance that it's a brigade.

from my experience that sub is incredibly moderate-left and super pro-lgbt. When attitudes like this are upvoted, it's from some r/all brigade or some other brigade.

As I've seen a lot within the fandom, most are radicalized left and it gets ridiculous to the point that they inject politics into things that aren't necessary or try to make something problematic that isn't. An example on a small term is that someone made a comic about a character getting bullied and then later they become lovers.

These extremists tried to get this guy's comic removed because it starts off with bullying a gay guy which is a no no. Stories are no longer stories. You can't have villains do crappy things because that's bad, you can't have people redeeming themselves because htat means they did something bad at some point. Character progression doesn't exist. To one of the people who is a constant on Sonic Fox' fanpages, he was linking a lot of 'left furry approved comics' which simply starts with a lot of variations of LGBT characters who are happy, everyone accepts them, and they just fuck because sex is normalized in every regard. Now this isn't a bad premise, it just lacks problems with story telling such as drama, character development etc. It's basically porn for the sake of porn, but it's also SAFE porn in the fact that nobody's to be offended by it I guess? Heck, even seen a push against masculine male characters even if they are gay, unless the redeeming trait is with a transfur character.

so, this push in trying to police content from furs goes pretty far. I understand things such as not doing nazi furs, or cub porn. But, this removing of attempt at storytelling something that SHOULD be harmless I think ruins artistic freedom less the SCREEE gets stronger against you.

Then, there are the far right furs which also confuse me. Like, the far left ones I get. As much as I don't agree with their opinions sometimes and methods... "Oh, I'm a straight white christian fur. I just happen to identify as a dragon and fuck vixens so I'm safe in the eyes of my religion" Umm... okay, so the "I'm bad, but at least I'm not THE GAY bad" cop out. I also don't like how a lot of them are trying to push being able to say the N word so much or trying to say "this species of furries must be black, so now we can write being able to call them the N word" which is all sorts of fucked up.

But, in regards to Sonicfox himself... Not exactly against the guy, I just think some of the things he does is funny, and others are cringey, but not to demonize him for it. But, his teeter tottering on things like "I'm not an advocate for violence" and then "I'm an advocate for violence" Like just be real. Like me, you're okay with violence if you can justify it. None of this 'it's not violence because of x even though it is violence'. You just open yourself up for people to counter you unnecessarily.

He also pretty much claimed he was an all important black guy because he's the first person to ever stand up to republicans and that white people have been oppressing him his whole life as he lived in poverty.... says the guy who won $60k from gaming deals on gaming systems his parents bought for him and let him play without actually having to work a day in his life.

That I think is when he lost any grip on the situation.
