The Furry Fandom

Thanks to Fox Force, the furry fandom was very different in U-986. Fox Force caused furries to be more recognized in TTL. This also caused a more tolerant for them in the 2020s. Of course, when the game initially came out, the word "Furry" came later than OTL in 1997, as a derivative of the word "Foxies", who were obsessive fans of Fox Force. This led to Fox Force conventions being held in exhibition halls as large as Birmingham's NEC or London's Excel as of 2009. Being a Furry was socially acceptible, just as it was socially acceptable to ride a motorcycle.

Of course, during the advent of the Cyber Troopers games, arguments between the two subcultures collided into dangerous proportions like the Mods and Rockers of the 1960s. In 2006, when a Transgender Fox Force fan was falsely charged with animal abuse in the UK, the fandom went ballistic and started attacking Police and the "Cybies" the fans of the Cyber Troopers games. This moment was as significant as the Stonewall Riots in 1969. Initially a moral panic started over the video games, Christian Leaders burnt copies of Cyber Troopers and Fox Force. Blaming it for turning their kids gay. The game's developers and voice cast voiced their support for the fandoms. And during the 2008 US Presidential Election, an actual Fox Force and Cyber Troopers fan who was a Democrat was selected preaching liberal tolerance, which angered some conservatives. Eventually both fandoms became almost mainstream.

Overall unlike OTL it was more socially acceptable.
