    I don’t know exactly when 196 became an unofficial furry hotspot, but I’m here for it.

        I’m not saying every 196 user is an autistic gay furry communist programmer, but I am saying they’re at least two of those things until proven otherwise.

        The percentage of furries that are queer is definitely higher than the total population average; I wonder if the percentage of queer folk who are furries is also similarly higher.

          As of the last survey a few years back, something like 80% of furries are queer.

          Never saw estimates for how many queer folks are furries but I suspect it’s a tiny fraction.

            Separately, the number of furries who are in IT is supposedly very high as well, though I have yet to meet any.

              I’ve noticed this myself! Any moderately-sized org probably has a furry or two keeping things running behind the scenes.
