ANIMAL CONTROL UPDATE: This thread is a general about the Furry community and all the drama revolving around it. The original OP does not include a lot so it will be a work in progress to update with major happenings and drama. If you would like to contribute something to the OP PM @CIA Nigger. There's quite a bit of things I should add as this thread is hundreds of pages worth of furry drama and discussion documented over quite a few years, ranging from failed game devs to washed up artists to a political shitstorm that lasted at least a year and resulted in numerous new threads.
A new spin-off thread has also been started for furry con drama, with the OP documenting plenty of incidents such as the MFF gas attack, the RMFC collapse that kicked off the political shitstorm, and the highly infamous RainFurrest 2015.
Current happenings:
The Twitter Furry War of 2020:
As the furry fandom has become more of a political grievance fandom than a talking animal and escapism fandom, furries have talked more about politics than talking animals. This boiled over in mid-2020 when some random African American Citizen died during an arrest after a police officer placed his knee on him. This was followed by nationwide riots that started in Minneapolis before spreading to the entire USA. Everywhere from small businesses to historical monuments/museums to even housing projects under construction and playgrounds have been torched and/or looted in the name of this guy who got killed. People have died during these protests as well, and trust has been lost in the police. There's even a bit of doxing and life ruination going on over at Twitter as well.
At the same time corporations went even more out of their way to tell you just how sorry they were for this current situation and going out of their way to tell you this more than any other event. This has been documented in one of the site's longest, most viewed, and fastest moving threads.
In other words, this whole event is a clusterfuck. Then there's the furry response to it, which has been even more of a total fucking mess. This post in the thread is the first mention of this as a fursuiter was brigaded by furries for making cute fursuit videos when people are literally getting killed by cops and shit. At first furries began reacting to this by changing cop characters to firemen in porn comics and yelling at Paw Patrol as usual. Over the next few days however it would escalate into full fledged online war.
There's plenty of gems in the thread so far and there will continue to be until this simmers down. A popufur artist who got banned from ResetEra was blocking black people who said BLM is stupid on Twitter. A fursuiter got chewed out for going to a rally in fursuit. An edgy Telegram group had a leak and everyone in it got banned from FA. Some furries are even yelling at other furries who just want a break from stressful politics and don't care for the latest news story of the month. It's not uncommon to see a callout post made on a furry who said "rioting is bad".
The craziest part is, the guy who started all this wasn't even a furry.

That being said: Welcome to the General Thread!
Original OP:
I didn't even know what a BabyFur was before I heard that (former mod) TacoWiz was one. Anyways, this is pretty hilarious: http://www.swiftsden.net/bfpbg_v1_2.pdf
