No way to Block people
I mean the block button exists, but it’s entirely for decoration. the only way to prevent them from being able to message you or looking at your profile is to change your settings entirely/make ur account private. If there’s no way to actually block someone, it Would have been nice to at least know that sooner.

Can’t create a account
I created a account uploaded my fursona and spiced up my profile with a description of myself, my interests and my nimbat oc, then it tells me I have to wait 48 hours for my account verification before I can use the app. It’s been 5 days and I still haven’t heard back..
Made Me Abandon the Fandom after 12 years
I’ve been in the furry fandom for a long time. I always felt comfortable being who I was while there. I felt like furries weren’t like what people thought they were and had a bad reputation.
I realize that I was naive and being too kind.
Not all furries are terrible, but the fandom is. There is an insane amount of protecting predators and active high school level drama that has rotted the fandom to the core. If you want accepted in the fandom now, you have to have an AD or be a chronically online sociopath. No place has clearer evidence than this but BARQ!
I was bombarded by people who would threaten to kill themselves when I told them I didn’t want a hookup.
People who wanted a therapist, not a friend.
People who’d stalk you on everything social you have in your bio after you told them off.
People who would block you or never respond, because you dared to say you were bisexual in your bio.
This app is everything wrong with the fandom in its user base and design. Notifications always break. You’re lucky for the app to tell you that someone liked you. Even more if you get a notification that you got a message, but at least notifications work for the merch!
IF you manage to have a cryptid on this app to message you, your greeted to a person who wants to tell you about the 8th hookup they’ve had this week and they insist on you being the 9th. If you say anything to frighten this creature, the creature will proceed to spiral into a story of how everyone hates them and they hate themselves.
If you have no problem dealing with these things, you’ll fit in with 90% of the user base. If you just want to talk about your passions and interests with like minded people, there is no place for you.
Thanks BARQ! And thanks Furries. You’ve proven to me than the fandom only cares and protects the least desirable people.

Terrible
The app environment feels hostile towards anyone with physical limitations. There is zero accommodation or flexibility for people who can’t create art conventionally or afford to pay for it, turning the community into an echo chamber that excludes people with disabilities lol
So goofy
