Well, I did have a recent joke that came to mind about our habits.
Furries: We worry about the consolidation of fiscal power under Corporatism creating power monopolies, yet we also seem to enjoy landing on hotel spaces. At some point this has got to be Stockholm Syndrome.
Furries: We are concerned about global warming, but please keep one room at the convention at the temperature of a meat-locker so we can wear these costumes that increase our overall body temperature to unsafe degrees.
Yeah, I do think that his joke was pointing out something, and that yeah, our fandom has an issue with inter-connectivity. The internet brings us closer together, yet for niche groups like ours it can make people feel further apart. I think the only way that is fixed is not easy, it's about getting together with people on a more local level and trying to keep contacts and local meets and gatherings going.
Hopefully eventually every region can have something going on so that the convention thing literally become a cherry on top instead of what people feel as being something required.
