re: uspol, memetic warfare, serious
@rey Ikr? I was just talking with some friends about this over the past week. Furry fandom, especially, has proven UNBELIEVABLY resilient to being coopted by corporate culture or by mainstream values about sex, gender, and affection. It's kind of amazing.
When I was a teenager, I absolutely revered the 1960s counterculture. And now I look back at them... the way they left the world... and some of the terrible, terrible attitudes some of them had. And honestly? I think I've transferred all my loyalties to furry. In many ways, we're arguably doing BETTER than they did at keeping the dream of an affectionate, fluid, expressive society alive in the face of the proverbial Minions Of Greyface*. :)
