Furry McCarthyism
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Furry McCarthyism (coined in 2005, and derived from McCarthyism, the witch-hunting of suspected Communist sympathizers in the USA of the 1950s, also known as Intra-fandom fursecution,) is one of an handful of fake terms attributed to the furry fandom, and actually coined by anti-furry groups and/or members.
The "Furry McCarthyism" term portrays the description of a non-existent "negative treatment" heaped upon a member in the furry community by one or more fellow furs with the intent of slandering the individual, or excluding him/her from the community altogether. The only example brought forth to showcase this "supposed" furry-on-furry harmful treatment is the case of furry fandom's reaction to the acts by "enfant terrible," Sibe.
