This was actually predictable, if one was listening to the buzz around the different communities when the "this waifu/pony/fursona/etc. does not exist" generators were first introduced. Every community seemed to love the spectacle, except for the furry community, who were noticeably more on edge about it.

I still don't really know what to attribute the attitude to, but it seems to be a pattern.

As I said, the surprise is that particular website, not that specific fandom. The fandom is unsurprising for the reason I gave.

The pony and anime communities also revolve around an economy of mostly static 2d art, for what it's worth.
