You bet. For reference I'm 25 and I've been super online since ~2006 or so, and while I was always into furry shit mostly just porn I only really started getting more into it art/fandom wise in the past ~3 years since it became less socially othering.

Back in the day furries were all seen as sparkledog furcon weirdos (and most of them were that, which is fine, but not my scene) so if you were """out""" as a furry that was more or less the only crowd that would have you. Otherwise, you were up there as one of the most reviled and outcasted freaks online when it came to forums like SA and old 4chan.

Once shit like Made in Abyss, Undertale, Beastars, BNA, etc. came around you saw a lot of people drop their pretenses around anthro. Anthro characters themselves are pretty universally lovable. Anthropomorphism is all over cartoons, childrens media, disney, video games, etc. All it took was enough shameless Japanese people getting into the industry to make it cool. (Just look at Arkknights and World Flipper and shit. And Tsukushi is especially shameless, talking about how good he thinks cute kemono must smell and discoloring the ears of his Nanachi plushies)
