From what I could see this conflict between the extreme side of A and the extreme side of B has always sort of been bubbling under the surface. It's a combination of America's political climate, which this whole political dialog you're engaging is is not furry related, it's more an internet debate that has extended into mainstream, and also injected itself into furry fandom.
Twitter, for the most part, has become the furry social network of choice, even to the point where people rarely post FurAffinity journals anymore.
And since FA no longer has control over 'call out' style attacks, furries are purging themselves after being artificially held back from doing so in an open forum, so I think of it more as (hopefully) a temporary purge of emotions that were held back for about a decade by FurAffinity's own moderation team.
It's ironic that you're arguing the fandom is LESS free, it's in fact MORE free as the 'call out' rule of FurAffinity has been rendered useless by Twitter, and so this is more, from my perspective, a result of this.
