I don't know what social media trend caused the turnaround, but I recall nothing but hate and derision for furries by the general internet in the past because of everything you just listed.
At some point it's become "you're just hateful because you're disturbed by their fetish."
My sincere hope you're healing and in a better place now.

Wife and I were discussing this story this morning. At first I thought "Meh, no surprise it's a convention for a niche audience, they sell out quickly."
No, no. It's almost 8,000 rooms that sold out. There are a total of 24,000 hotel rooms in the Greater Pittsburgh area, according to a Trib story referencing "Smith Travel" as its source.
That means about 1/3 of ALL hotel rooms in Pittsburgh were sold out in less than 24 hours. That's crazy.
