I think it's interesting how much really silly fursuiting content there used to be on youtube, even some colab channels. I guess a lot of that has moved into VR, which removes the physical barrier, at least aside from the cost and the software ecosystem being ehh.

I think there is a bit more awareness now of the issues inside the fandom, though some of it has been directed into chaotic birdsite outrage which isn't terribly productive, and we've lost some autonomy to large sites, but so has a lot of the internet. Still our culture is quite unique and worth fighting for.

I don't know if I really miss anything in particular, maybe I'm a bit on the younger side here since I've been a furry for more like 6-7 years (also fuck, where has that time gone?)
