Furry fandom is what it is because of the theory that, if you say something long enough and with enough passion, while getting as many people as you can to repeat it, people will believe it has to be true just because they hear it so much. A thousand whiners on the internet can't be wrong, can they?
What's that line from The Little Prince? “I wrote it, I published it, it's been read, consequently it's fact.” Such “facts” form the entire foundation of Furry Fandom as it exists today, rather than the actual history of The Furry Arts, as it would be with any other fandom. And that's why Furry Fandom can't be explained to anyone's satisfaction. We've spent 20 years building on a foundation of lies and deceptions. There's no actual truth or reality in what we've built for anyone to grasp. It crumbles as soon as anyone tries to get a grip on what we are. And with no reality available people have no choice but to accept the most popular unsubstantiated fantasy, and then back away in horror.
