I've found that a good way to check for actual tolerance in a group is how they treat their furries.
Also, the furries make the internet work. plz. I need the furry hacking power in the world.

Everyone has a problem with furries because "it's sexual" and the usual rebuttal is that not all of it is about sex, but I think this misses the point.
Basically every adult fandom has a sexual element, weebs are the fucking same and no one goes around calling all anime fans perverts. Sexuality is a natural human thing and they have a goddamn right to explore that through their medium. Get to know a furry, they're just normal fucking people (pun not intended, I'm just Australian).
Beastiality is not a furry thing and should not be lumped into it. Fuck zoophiles.
There's also a lot of people who will use the abstraction available in furry art/fandom to explore their identity and sexuality, it's honestly a good space for helping people grow and understand themselves. I've known plenty of trans people who've only been able to find and accept their being trans through their fursonas. They're valid as hell and I'll defend them until I die.
My buddy. Have you heard of the years 2000 - 2020?
My point is that weebs are considered more acceptable than furries in almost every space, it's not literal.
