I see this with many subcultures. So like when people where afraid to come out of the closet it seemed like everyone gay was so nice but really its because someone willing to live outside of the closet either had to have special qualities or learn to be nice because they had a such an adverse condition. As being gay became moe acceptale you start meeting more jerk gays. I mean that is my experience. I have seen the same thing with furries where my experience has been with very freindly people with thick skins because they appreciate someone who accepts them and thats enough. If it becomes accepted enough I expect to meet more jerks in that group who likely hide their activities.
