    It was definitely there before the internet, too. You just couldn’t easily connect with other toaster fuckers.

      Being unable to find a group of enablers to reinforce each other’s insanity is a good thing.

      Having to have actual, real life humans as your social circle helps in actually socializing people. Like kittens who need other cats around to learn how to properly cat themselves. Without it they develop social issues or worse.

      Sure, but it was internet that made these tiny scattered groups into large findable ones

      Before the internet you would need to live near a proud and loud toaster fucker to find a group

      Old furries in tech are in tech because they learnt and used early computer networks to connect with other furries

      i dont think there would be as many toaster fuckers without the encouragement from a big community of toaster fuckers
