Ladies and Gentlemen of the court, Mister Twister VS Mister Twister:
Topic: Survivability of a group
"Perri Rhoades is absolutely correct about defending non-bipedal characters. However, she is wrong about the "anything goes; fans decide what fits" philosophy. Any fandom is open to new members. Now, imagine new people coming in with completely different ideas on what "furry" is or should be. Do you REALLY think any fandom could survive that? ANY club, ANY group depends on its members agreeing on something. If there is no agreement, there IS no group. There MUST be some agreement, or else the group dissolves. Such philosophy is destructive in its nature. It's like multiculturalism: IT DOSE NOT WORK. People will always form groups based on opinion; like-minded individuals will always side with each other. And somebody will always end up being excluded from some group. You cannot have a group for everyone." -Mister Twister

"2. Why is everyone treating 4chan like it is some kind root of all evil? There are all kinds of people there; it is open for EVERYONE."
So you just destroyed your whole argument by stating that ANY group can't survive while being open to everyone, and then stating /4/chan is open to everyone... and /4/chan is still around...
