Was thinking even before AC got nuked, furries are still as degenerate (or more) as they used to be, but they aren't as big.
tl;dr the furry pipeline is far weaker and far more hated
Back 10-15 years ago they were a boogeyman for the internet and influential, they even got mainstream acceptance around 5 years ago. But now, they're hated more than ever before; even the "they think they're animals", maybe with a "and misunderstood" in an op-ed, looks small compared to how most today think they're therians, groomers, pedophiles, zoophiles, zoosadists, or otherwise degenerate. With the mainstream this time refusing to touch them with a 5ft pole.
It might look with all the horror on Roblox, X, and Bluesky, that furries are still big, but drama furries are a shrinking minority, and Roblox furries are far less invested. Generally, people under 25 see "furry" as more an asthetic, and will avoid the term like the plague.
On Roblox in particular, I haven't seen anybody anywhere mention this: it completely circumvents commission culture. Commission culture was a huge part of the grooming pipeline, it had norms, expectations, social customs, and a lot of escalation, especially the moment you hit 18. With Roblox, you get some fag fur skin, use it for a bit, and probably, hopefully, just grow out of it. It's far easier to when your consumption investment is $3 and not social, compared to $40 - $100 for a ref sheet and first art and is social.
