It just sort of happens whenever there's enough queer folk in one place. XD
I'm not saying every 196 user is an autistic gay furry communist programmer, but I am saying they're at least two of those things until proven otherwise.
But quite a few of us are, in fact, all of the above.
Guilty. 😸
guilty as charged. bisexual furry communist future programmer here 🤚
Well I don't identify as a furry, but if people start meowing it'd be rude of me not to join in :3
The percentage of furries that are queer is definitely higher than the total population average; I wonder if the percentage of queer folk who are furries is also similarly higher.
As of the last survey a few years back, something like 80% of furries are queer.
Never saw estimates for how many queer folks are furries but I suspect it's a tiny fraction.
Separately, the number of furries who are in IT is supposedly very high as well, though I have yet to meet any.
I've noticed this myself! Any moderately-sized org probably has a furry or two keeping things running behind the scenes.
One who has made it a challenge to see how much :3 can be radiated without exploding

"Palmer Cox" is a little on the nose, don't you think?
Hardly know'er
half of ~~this sublemmy~~ the internet.
Wait are straight furries not a thing?
i feel like when this book was made, the word queer meant weird. the authors name totally negates this line of thought though, which is fabulous.
They definitely exist, they're just a minority in the furry community.
And they're often really angry about that.
I'm pretty sure they're a psyop from a rogue nation state and don't exist
