A brief opinion piece. Excerpt: "Perhaps the coolest thing about the furry fandom is the diversity of activities and people you can interact with, the ability to make new friends from a common interest. This is what a fandom literally is, it is a group of people who are fans or supporters of a common idea. There are fandoms based on video games, tv shows, music, and even specific people, characters, or artists in them. Why then, if there are thousands of fandoms out there, does the furry fandom receive so much negative attention?"
