To me this AltFurry thing is just one clique like the other. It feels like in the fandom independent thought doesn't matter as much as belonging to a group of folks who think alike. With the AltFurry the attempts of Gleichschaltung at least don't feel as obnoxious as those of their counterparts and their labelers don't hang as loose.
