Everything even remotely resembling a good religious practice has a doctrine along the lines of:

"And sooner or later, some literal-minded schmuck or power-hungry twerp will try to pervert my teachings for their own purposes. Ignore them completely. I know in advance most of you will not, and I'm so sorry for what will happen to you."

Postfurry is not a religion and has no founder, but it still has that doctrine. It is not to be used as a vessel for anything but joy and passion. But it will.

Not because of anything y'all specifically are fucking up, just because that's how all movements go. <3

Everything is awesome and exciting re: PF right now as far as I'm concerned, and I can't be happier. I've liked every one of the current gen that I've met. This is just random musing about the future!

But it's still interesting to contemplate how ideological drift might make us betray ourselves someday. A postfurry orthodoxy, how exactly would that even work?
