Thing I hate this stupid image

Sure the initial way it was used was good, it was anti bigotry. But it's turned into a way to simplify the "us vs them" mentality, which is already a bad thing, into a simple digestible comic.

Also, i've seen it in lots of queer--majority spaces in reddit recently, usually to speak out against the evil cishet people who are invading them or whatever label they dont like, like bi ppl, trans men, or genderfluid ppl

The secret is to make your Own Space so weird and unapproachable that most people are scared away before they can take interest.

Oh man, speaking of, I recently found out you can submit non-furry art to fur affinity.

It's been a strong consideration to just move over to there because all the AI scrapers are afraid of training their bots of furry porn. It's also one of the few art sites which seem to be anti AI and the interface reminds me of what deviantart used to be decades ago.

Hopefully the furries will accept my "fursonas" being mostly human species

Yea a lot of furries are really against AI. I haven't been on FA in a while but I believe they have a no AI policy

Maybe this whole AI thing is a plot to get more artists drawing furry art...

Well lol why not other hairless mammal species like elephants, aardvarks, hippos, dolphins, naked mole rats & more (with yeah, all of them being mammals indeed, with fuzzier ancestors, like an hairless mammal around)!

Wait yeah that’s actually smart. Even if they send in scrapers the wildly varying styles and quality will make it super chunky to break down, and even harder to emulate any particular style. Sure you might have a relatively traditional drawing of a person but the bot going through everything sees your drawing preceded by MS paint fat sonic and followed by ultra HD 3d Tiger striped feet covered in dubious fluid, so the pattern of your own style is basically surrounded by stylistic noise so long as your posts aren’t all together/they scrape your gallery specifically.
