That seems fair enough. I am one of those hmofa people. I personally like fuzzy ladies and would be happy to speciesmix with them. Perhaps they'd bear human children at least some of the time anyway, just fur plot convenience.
And because my interest is in the cute fuzzy waifus, I have no interest in male characters. I don't object to them. They're just not what I seek out on the Internet.
And yes, /trash/ still seems to be a dumpster fire. Periodically I go to Desuarchive and look in on it. Occasionally the /hmofa/ threads are almost comfy, and then someone will start posting sexualized images of characters drawn to look about eight years old, sometimes younger, and the UOOOOOOHposting will start. I find such things distasteful.
"It's just a drawing, bro!" "Let people enjoy things!" "Drawings aren't real!" Yes, let's just pretend that this material isn't of, by, and fur people who want to molest toddlers. Putting fur on the child doesn't change this. "Cub" material is no different from drawn CSAM, and "but she's not human," "but she has a tail," "but she's really a 700 year old vampire," etc., are not the gotchas certain people think they are.
Maybe it's just a few bad actors. But one of the things I've noticed about the Internet is that lolikons and far worse will flock to places that don't gatekeep. Drive them out or they take over and they turn the place into 8kun, and you get to wonder why your comfy Internet community is suddenly filling up with toddlerkon cannibal cock vore guro fetish material and people who can't shut up about how "excited" it makes them.
And so I choose to avoid parts of the Internet where that kind of thing is normal and accepted. It's a pity, really. Some artists whose work I really like still post in /trash/, and it was nice to be able to interact with them there. But when it feels more like diving into a sewer every day, you have to make a choice. I just want to marry a gal who has a fluffy tail, you know?

>dont want to look like a gay furry
I think it goes much further back than that, but you aren't wrong. A lot of these female characters were designed to be attractive. There is, I think, a difference, not merely of degree, but of kind, between the guy who watches the old 1970s Disney "Robin Hood" animated film and thinks Maid Marian is pretty, and the guy who spends his weekends going to fur cons where he puts on his semen-and-feces-encrusted fursuit to suck a hundred anonymous strangers' dicks and only take the suit's head off to smoke meth. Whenever anyone hears the word "fursona" everyone instantly imagines the latter, not the furmer. This may be unfurtunate, but that's a very widespread perception, and it didn't just arise out of nothing.

Is that one guy still periodically going bananas and spending 20+ straight hours spamming /hmofa/, /scaly/, and other threads with guro fur a week at a time? Are the mods continuing the time-honored 4chan tradition of banning the people who report the spam instead of the spammer?
