Did MFGG make you furry?

[Evil Yoshi Toes]

Yeah, I believe he was speaking against the automatic conclusion people come to when they see that someone likes furry/anthro art.

Without getting into too much graphic detail about it so as to stay MFGG friendly, the stigma furry artists - and furries in general - have attached to them is unfortunate. While I'm not into furry art myself, I know I'd hate it if people made such absurd assumptions about me based solely on a harmless hobby I have. Unfortunately, similar stigmas exist for many hobbies and interests, like people automatically assuming anyone who likes anime is a fetishists of Japanese culture. I believe a lot of it has to do with the representation that these groups get online, especially with the "cringe comp" trend that shows off the worst of these communities. While I don't think these types of videos are that bad by themselves, it's a shame that people use them as a basis for their generalization of a diverse group of people.
