notOP but...I see OP's take in real life a lot. I used to staff conventions and now vend at them, I'm involved in SCA and other LARP orgs. People who exist as walking weeb stereotypes - and furry stereotypes, let's be real - do so as a problem to other people both in meatspace and online all. the. time. People being into a thing know that other people make them look bad and, sadly but honestly, keep it on the downlow. If I were still doing graduate work in cultural sociology I would seriously do a study on the correlation between vocal identity in a subgroup and documented bad behavior, because I feel it would be enlightening. But also depressing. But also I don't have time to do that kind of work uncredited.

Anyway, you and I and most of this comm can be non-judgmental about what people are into all we want, but the non-shitty people still have to keep their interests on the downlow because of the shitty people. And those shitty people really do go out of their way to make it everyone's problem, even and especially irl.

+1 This is exactly what I mean in more thoughtful wording.

DA

Yeah, I get this part. Like every fandom has embarrassing people in it, you don't get to shit on another person's fandom for being cringe when yours has a bunch of awful people in it too. And no fandom is free of awful people.

Holding the non-awful people responsible for it, though is where it kinda goes too far in judging them. Pop bandom doesn't get to shit on country music fans, sure, but saying "you guys happening to have racists who are fans of the same thing is on you, and the onus is on you to somehow root them out and make them stop liking the thing you like" is... just not true, or fair, you know?
