Hey, I've just been bothered by the fandom recently, just as a whole and with specific people. In some small groups it's ok, like this one I haven't really been bothered by much, but in others like on Furaffinity, it just seems like there's no end to perversions and sickening delusions they have. I've also been bothered a lot by how the fandom seems to be degrading my own beliefs and how I share them. I just need some time to step away and evaluate everything for a while.

That's true for just about every group, though... in small, controlled doses just about any group is tolerable. In large amounts, though, they tend to get silly.

What he ^ said.
To be honest any fandom has it's fscked up side, even the most innocent ones. People who take it too far and are in despite need of a life. The furry fandom has not got any worse that it's ever been, if anything it's less screwed up than it was years back.
Lets just say I'm a big in to Manga and Anime, you don't want to see just how utter fscked up some of the stuff is, I've been on the net for....let say for over a decade and some of the stuff still shocks me.
The thing is if sane people like you leave then the nutter vs sane count suffers. I've learnt over the years to never look too deep as you will find utterly fscked up people in any group.
Hell if you keep it at 'it's a bit of fun' then there should be no probs, heck I'm not that deep into it TBH. If I see something I really wish I hadn't I just don't go back there, the net, like the world, is full of utter fscked up people. The best you can do is ignore them and hope they get therapy, grow out of it or go away.
