This along with soatok's article has been my go-to thing to post about anti-furry stuff being anti-queer

But like, yeah.

"Regular fandom spaces", even when they are queer, are very much
anti-expression. Stifling. Queerphobic.

That means that the furry ethos is noticeably different from that of other fandoms. Because the corporations that controlled the media properties central to most nerd fandoms wanted to continue selling merchandise, they had a vested interest in not alienating what they saw as their core cis-het male nerd audience. As such, official pronouncements from on high would generally ignore a female audience and actively avoid any acknowledgement of alternative sexualities. Fans themselves would establish their own rank in the fandom by acting as police to protect and enforce official canon. LGBTQ fan characters and interpretations could more easily be excluded from, say, Trek fandom by claims that such ideas were not canon and would not fit with the official views of Trek’s corporate owners. But in furry, where the fandom was uniquely focused on giving free reign to individual expression and where there’s no one single corporate canon, these same anti-LGBTQ arguments were a harder sell.

What I really hate about Twitter is I receive random notifications that someone I don't even follow has posted. Meanwhile, despite those I follow still posting semi-regularly, I'm not getting any notifications from them (even after giving them priority)

Agreed. Love the sentiment, but trauma can leave you with a lot of emotional damage that affects the way you see yourself, even if you can show love and compassion to others around you.

It sounds like they're a little paranoid about making this new relationship work. Not that I'm saying this is justification for their treatment. Have you talked about how it made you feel? I also feel it's doubly paranoid because who brings that up in conversation when it was only one time?
