I don’t have a problem with furries. The whole origins of furries vs bronies thing was ungodly fucking stupid in that, not even joking, the whole thing was started when bronies started becoming popular and the initial break out of the slap fighting was about idiots arguing about who “deserves” to be the only fandom about talking animals.
 
The people continuing this slap fight deserve a sarcastic slow clap in that they’re continuing a slap fight that originated from a bunch of hipsters that were upset that they weren’t the specialist snowflake in the field of snow.
 
The initial break out of the furries vs bronies thing in a nutshell was cause a bunch of idiots went,  
“I’m the most special snowflake out there”  
“NO! I’m the most special snowflake”  
NO! I AM!”

FurAffinity or whatever it’s called has some nasty anti MLP fans there. I try to respect people’s opinions because hey either you love it or you hate it but sheesh. It’s really hard not to get a little defensive about something you enjoy. I honestly think it stems from the fact that the show is for little girls.

The bronies vs furries rivalry is pure stupidity. I think that it stems from the fact that both communities tend to attract so much internet hate, and so some people can be members of one group and still fall for all the internet hate bullshit flung at the other group.

This. Also the brony fandom spawned from 4chan so…y’know…4chan.  
You’d think it’d be the other way around.  
“Hey, we’re two of the most hated fandoms on the internet, how about we be friends? “ “Nah, that wouldn’t make sense.”

To answer the question: no. I check the big sites (that I know of) to hunt down new content, but I don’t bother with the communities. Even if I really cared to, I just have the time.
 
Anyways, here’s how I remember things going down:
 
Around the time PB started accepting NSFW content (yes, PB was originally a SFW-only board), pony content exploded on FA. Known furry artists started doing loads of pony art, leaving other things behind (which left many of those artists’ followers that didn’t care for MLP feeling alienated) and many new artists popped up posting their pony stuff there; combined it seemed like FA was getting spammed by pony.
 
Back to PB (and other places), FA content started appearing. Now back then pony NSFW was a lot more taboo than it is now, and, well, a decent portion of stuff on FA is pretty fetish heavy (vore, gore, inflation, fat, etc). So the sudden surge of both NSFW and fetish content that could be tracked back to furry artists caused a pretty heavy anti-furry reaction. This image got a whole lot of use:
 
Back to FA; the surge in pony content made many artists start posting anti-pony content as a reaction, mostly of the violent and gory variety. Amusingly some of the worst offenders in that category are now heavily into MLP (and to be fair, a lot of artists that started with pony now only do “normal” furry). So, that stuff got spread around, of course, which only increased the anti-furry sentiment.
 
Also on the side, there were furry people evangelizing that we’re all the same fandom, either to calm people down, or to gain more artists and “clout” or something. Anyways, that was seen by many MLP fans as an insult and the reaction was to spew some more hate to make sure people wouldn’t confuse the two communities.
 
Things are a lot calmer these days, anyways. A lot of really well known and liked MLP artists do some furry stuff and no one really cares, and a lot of primarily furry artists do MLP stuff and don’t get any hate for it. Don’t know how much that’s carried over to non-artsy stuff.
