one joke you made didnt land, and you then generalise that to furries are prudes?
wat
One joke that is apparently risque enough that OP didn't want to include it in the post?
Yeah, I'm thinking the furries weren't the problem
The joke is that drag's username was, until recently, Dragon "Rider". Because "ride" has multiple meanings. A number of furries said that drag's username is too bawdy to say, even without quotes.
My general experience has been that furries are people, and people aren't homogeneous - so even if they share some traits it's not fair to make blanket assumptions.
I'm reserving judgment until I hear what the joke is. Not really enough to go on otherwise.
Yeah I’m not prudish by any means, but could easily be put off if someone made an inappropriate joke at my expense. It would really be context dependent

I'm not a furry, but was the joke making fun of furries?
Were the people responding to the joke itself, or were they blindly downvoting you because of your use of a third-person neo-pronoun?
