I am historically a furry, but am no longer in or related to the community--I used to occasionally check art websites or play games or associate primarily with furries. I do still find them a bit more tolerant than others for the nuances of weird people, but extremes exist in every culture and I am definitely not okay with some of the forms of extremes arising in that community.
I'm also no longer personally a furry in the sense that I no longer see myself primarily as an anthropomorphic animal being--It's interesting how settling into my elven kintype has changed my self image very much! When I was more opossumkin, I ALWAYS had a self image of an anthro opossum fae. It was a sorta natural and invisible transition to a more humanoid self image when my kintype changed. I found it much easier to be around furries than human id'd people in that phase of my life, but now I find both furries and human-peoples equally easy/difficult to socialize with.
And I CAN elaborate if needed; but the synopsis is: I found out that a lot of my sexuality was performative and not genuine, and furries in general in the social spheres I was in were VERY sexual people. I just got tired of having to ask "okay, I get that, but I'm not here to talk about that." or "I don't want to know you that way, I don't want to talk about that facet of our lives here." I'm sure there are other spheres out there that are not like that, but I haven't found them yet. I had spent years in those circles and it was difficult to imagine that entirely different circles existed.
Also, there's a lot of extremes of political ideology and expression out in the world, and I found a lot of hostility in furry circles if I A) didn't have my answer figured out on whatever issue that specific circle was enraged about and B) feel like defending my turf at all times about whatever that issue was. But again, I was probably just in the wrong place. These two issues were also very present among Ponyfolks (MLP/bronies/pegasisters which are often ALSO furries and overlap) and were part of why I faded from that area of the online world, too.
