I'm really hoping it's something that they figure out over time, but it's going to be a lot of work so probably nothing that will happen overnight.
I don't really think the sexual violence rates in the furry community are higher than in the general community. There's just more awareness of what consent is. I mean I could say "look at r/jailbait, straight people have a pedophile problem", and I'd be right, but only because society has a pedophile problem.
That would be true if every single porn site was at or worse than r/jailbait, which to be honest does feel like the case at times.
