Artists leaving the fandom

I agree that people's interests change as time passes. I used to love Everquest II for example. Then I found Final Fantasy. The first game had a clearly furry feline race. The second game has lots of cute miqo'tes. The miqo'te girls are human-like but the have cat eats, cat eyes, and a furry tail. I wasn't into cat girls at all before; but now I definitely am into them. That was unexpected. I still like the animal-like furries too. People change.

Don't forget that new blood is always coming into furry fandom. And people have been interested in furries in one form or another throughout human history. Furry fandom won't go away. When technology catches up to imagination circumstances will eventually be right for somebody to start making them. Why not? If you are going to start terraforming worlds and you don't want to send people there to do it you can have robots do the job for you. And you can have them create an entire furry civilization so that humans will have someone to meet when they get there. Our current culture wouldn't do it but cultures change.

Here's a possible scenario. Our own world becomes so polluted that nothing can live outside of domed cities. The ecology is dead. People read about animals in books. Somebody gets the idea to send robots ahead to create a paradise world and they decide to populate it with genetically engineered furries. Human immigrants will have a green world with a civilization on it waiting to meet them. In that way human will redeem themselves by giving intelligent versions of extinct animals their own world to replace the one that humans destroyed. And their lives will be restored symbolically. And the the furries will be capable of protecting Paradise from human exploitation.

Or if things don't work out exactly as planned Paradise might become a world like the one that Jim created. :)
