Even if you personally believe that reddit as a whole is cancerous (i can see why you might think that about a few subreddits) reddit is great for finding people with similar interests as you. if you avoid the big default subreddits you should be fine.
It's not really about any specific subreddit, I don't care if there's one about furries, or bronies or whatever, they are allowed to do their thing and discuss it.
My gripe with it was mainly the site-wide mechanics, the fact that it's a site with way more rules and way more focused on building up a reputation (e.g. showing off your e-peen) than say, an imageboard. So coming from imageboards and even communities like this one where the rules are few and only the top few dozen people have reputations is a bit of a startling change.
