Why Fetish Expression in the Fandom

On another board, a fur a asked why those who engage in fetish behavior need to talk publicly about them.
The reason is a common thread within elements of LGBT and fetish subculture: this element or trait is exhibitionism. This minority in the Furry fandom not only expresses and identify themselves sexually, but the need to do so publicly and demand pubic approval. In some cases the need to shock, provoke, and offend others. I see a lot of this in gay culture. It is interesting a post asked same questions about Gay Pride celebrations brought up a similar issue.  Add to this a furry subculture that does not have very much in the way of structure compare to Anime and Science Fiction fandom, conventions, and culture. For example, both have restrictions and rules when and where adult behavior is appropriate. Exhibitionists are a small minority in any subculture but often the loudest.

I do not see this as part of the furry fandom, but how outside influences came into the fandom. In recent time, some are addressing this issue.
