At some point in the early 2000s fandom crossed over from being primarily rooted in a speculative fiction concept of furries, which required some kind of scientifically plausible origin (they were genetically engineered, they were aliens, there was some kind of convergent evolution, etc) to 'my character looks this way because I like how it looks'... to add to the chorus here in the comments, I felt that shark OCs were the most striking indicator of this change: no one was pretending they had evolved into that shape; their anatomy was fantastical and not only was that fine, but it was unnecessary to devote mental energy to why they look that way.
(this is furries as opposed to toons, of course <3)
was watching the burn notice episode where Fiona's brother shows up along with someone who wants to kill Fiona. Michael McBride rides again and we get a whole lot of Irish accents. and I am learning new words.
its city design. they don't bring up purely why this design came about (racism and capitalism acting in dovetail, see Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. (1926) and its background in more explicitly race based covenants in the 19-teens). but suburban design makes us lonely, and anxious, pushes us towards toxic nuclear family constructions, robs us of any way of socializing in public that isnt somehow connected to purchasing a product, and prevents revolutionary consciousness.
