research is much more relevant to the furry fandom than it is to bronies or rangerphiles.
Maybe it is, but I don't know any reliable way to measure this (I don't consider google image search results a reliable measurement)
And this thread specifically says 'keep it clean' - meaning 'no research.' I don't understand why you're worried about that, other than Ciest being a dumbass (which as you've said people have done in the MLP thread too)
Also I've never heard of rangerphiles, but MLP is much more than just bronies.
Oh, I get it. But not every furry likes research. Most do. I'd say upwards of 95 percent, even. (I pulled that number out of my...hat.)
I don't know the exact number, but the point im trying to make has nothing to do with the number, its about furry being about
more than just research, just like every other fandom that involved a large amount of research
