Tragically lost to the rabbithole of the furry fandom.

The furry fandom is definetly one of those things I think people should ease into... Specifically for that reason.
I actually love the sex positivity of the fandom, it helped me connect with that side of me when I was waaaaay too repressed.
but if a person is not ready they will see certain things that won't sit well with them, and that is why I often don't mention to people IRL that i'm a furry.
If you are an artist though, particularly if you are willing to 'get your hands dirty' so to speak... You can make serious money in the fandom.
But I don't think explaining more than that is appropriate for tapas xD
From someone who's been dancing on the edge of the volcano for years (just look at my username and avatar for pete's sake), like everybody else said, you are if you want to be, aren't if you don't. It's quite the spectrum too, so don't feel like you have to kitchen sink a particular identity. I hope you have fun figuring out whether it's a community you want to belong to.
(PS - Even as someone that doesn't really identify as a furry, but shares a lot in common, Stardew Valley IS WAY BETTER when using the furry mods to make everyone cute/rad animal people. Trust me.)
I saw a video talking about the craziest things the fandom did, and a few of them were commissions for absurd prices, I 100% believe in you xD thanks for the insights~
just kidding Dang, $4,000 USD is enough to buy a brand new car in my country, my local currency is extremely devalued right now, I guess I'll give it a try then, I'd make minimum wage with only $200, american minimun wage would make me rich lol xD
Please elaborate, a youtuber talked about nazi-furs or something like that, is that what you talking about? or there's more? o.O
I may be in the spectrum then 
almost a furry haha, thank you very much for your help, and "mrwulf" is kinda furry xD
I have a tendency to use characters from things I've made as usernames/avatars - my favorite villain from a years long roleplaying campaign I ran was a nasty, egotistical fae named Ewindale Moss. His name isn't nearly as catchy as Mr. Wulf, and since that could refer to either Mr. Jonathan or Trevor from my Chrysalis Falls stories, I decided to run with that for my web name these days. Again, I'm terrible about dancing around the edge of things.
My favourite pokemon are the rock ground and steel type inanimate object and golem pokemon instead of the furry bait, does that make me the rock equivalent of a furry then?
No its not porn commissions. People will jump into your dms and post porn or constantly pester you and annoy you until you block them. Most furries are hyperactive and with low attention span so they will spam you to their heart's content on a regular basis. Get ready to block a ton of people...
Yeah, you have to watch for Nazi "whatevers" in any genre. The Nazi apologists at anime cons are definitely something else too. Hetalia brought a lot of them out.
I feel like furries were just kicked so hard for so long by the rest of the internet that the whatever restraint the fandom had as a baseline has been atrophying. Like, if you're going to hate me anyway, I might as be right out in the open about my list of weird kinks - which, hey kinkshaming isn't cool, but there's a bunch of vile shit at the edges people try to sneak in assuming "everything" goes.
Weird, yesterday I read an article during my research about the fandom that there's a higher percentage of autistic people in the fandom in comparison to the percentage in the general populace, maybe that's why? which would also explain why @indagold said they're hyperactive, and have a attention deficit, both signals of autism... dunno, thanks for the help @Kiweevil I really appreciate.
Yeah it sucks. Sometimes random things trigger it. I once posted big chungus and some fat rabbit memes so someone took that as an excuse to post fat furry shit in my dms. 
I literally stopped posting rabbit pics and changed my avatar cause I was so grossed out. I'm just letting you know this will happen and you will not be prepared for it.
I mean there are nazi-everything... Yes... Even nazi-jews.
And I'm only frightened by the fact that the world has devolved to a point where I can't tell if that's a joke or not.
The furry community really is very accepting, it's part of the reason why sexuality is so splicitily explored...
How free it is, is both the fandom's greatest power and most terrfying curse.
But yeah, there is always that one extreme asshole who is willing to go WAAAAAY to far, but that goes for EVERYTHING in life, not just the fandom.
