Coming from somebody who's been chronically online since 2006-
Feral/borderline zoo kinks were never a problem until like the last... I really feel like 6 years. Sure, you had little pockets of people here and there who'd get bent up, but they were usually annoying in general about everything and we collectively ignored them.
It's only been modern times that people feel like they have to be guilty or shadowy about that in any way. I will die on this hill though, I remember freedom of expression. I say push back against that hysteria culture before it gets too deep.
Don't like, don't read. Don't like, don't watch. The problem is these losers are conditioned to think that blocking something makes you "weak" and they'd rather harass anyone who engages with that something off the platform so they never have to see it again. It takes more effort to stalk and make endless QRTs of someone drawing Tails taking it up the ass than it does to block, the only upside is they get brownie points from their equally shitty mutuals and followers on the endless cycle of "harass someone in the community, go up the arbitrary infinitely tall popularity ladder, start to lose attention, repeat".
Our motto on the internet used to be: "Don't like? Keep scrolling."
Essentially a digital, "Nunya bidness"
But we do live in a different time. The mainstream own the net now. So that conservative normie American culture of invading everybody's personal lives to censor, purge, and "purify" is the letter of the day now. People have forgotten that furry is a counter-culture. We aren't meant to be/desire to be acceptable by the status quo. Status quo bad.
Counter-culture is a bit of a lost art at the moment but I see the seeds sprouting.
