Someone said DnD is a perfect example of this, except:
DnD 3e was better than 1e and 2e, and 4e came about because video game popularity was something WotC were trying to get in on, and 5e came about because Pathfinder 1e stole (took back?) like, half their fanbase.
The game getting worse over time (5e is terrible, FIGHT ME!) is literally because of profit seeking.
I've heard a lot of theories about why furries have gotten so much shit, but one I don't see talked about much is that it stems from nerd insecurity. Joe Sixpack probably doesn't know or care what a furry is, or at most says "looks stupid" and moves on with his live. The people who know enough about furries to obsessively hate on them are generally geeky and online enough to have likely been the target of ridicule growing up themselves, so furries give them someone they can point to and say "At least I'm not those losers!"
This would also explain why so many furry haters go on to become furries themselves: they outgrow their insecurities. Those who don't... well, look how Lowtax turned out. Built the biggest nexus of furry hate on Web 1.0 and ended up being
CW: abuse/self-harm
a wife beater and deadbeat divorced dad who blew his own brains out.Meanwhile, many of those he targeted for harassment live fulfilling lives to this day.
Also they are jealous. Furries have infinitely more self confidence to own their hobby, dress up in public and shit, and it drives the reactionary side of geek/nerd culture out of their mind knowing they are not as cool.
Yeah I don't think it's coincidence that the biggest hubs of current-day furry hate are 4chan and Kiwifarms, home to some of the most miserable, insecure, self-loathing sadsacks I've ever seen.
