Putting more perspective on this - here's a week's worth of visits to Inkbunny. Obviously, this is an English-language site, which may cause some bias (particularly in areas where English-language competence is not seen as valuable) but we get plenty of traffic from elsewhere to show that the site is accessible and known in those locations:
North America 62.9% 229,901
Europe 21.3% 78,005
Asia 6.5% 23,909
South America 5.5% 20,005
Oceania 2.3% 8,339
Central America 1.0% 3,657
Africa 0.2% 818
What this doesn't show is that the proportion of traffic from North America is decreasing. Specifically, other locations are growing faster, particularly in Asia, South America and Central America, but also parts of Europe. It could be that this is a site-specific factor, but my gut feeling - based in part on the growth of conventions in those areas - is that it's a fandom-wide phenomenon.
Breaking that down a bit, you can see that even now the USA is the majority of traffic, despite a long tail (0.3% was unknown):

The USA may no longer be a majority of visits within the next five years, but it will remain at the fandom's core for decades to come. Similarly, while many languages are represented within fandom (WikiFur has projects in over 20), it may take a while to overcome the ~70% native English speaker bias. Those in the middle or upper classes who are most likely to have free time to participate in fandom may also be more likely to have English as a second language than their compatriots.
We're blocked in China, and were in Russia; some use VPNs, via e.g. the Netherlands or Vietnam respectively, to evade this.
