There's an interesting dynamic that I see in #sanefurs for one major reason: some people in the channel are about satire, and some people are about cynicism, and sometimes the cynics take their view so far that they come off as rather angry at pretty much everything, whereas the satirists seem able to realize that although they may be mocking furry, they still are furs of a sort.  So, when two satirists do something out of their cynical character, the cynics tend to react immediately in a strong and generally negative manner ('What is this faggotry' or 'loltypefuckery').  Now, I've only been in the channel for a few weeks at most, and of course I can only think about what I've seen in that short of time, so my opinion on this could be horribly skewed.  I'm all about getting corrected, so go ahead if I'm completely wrong.
