This is a real chicken and egg problem, idk. Were all these freaks out there before the Internet or are they just more visible because of it or were there like two of them before the Internet and then they multiplied without sex?

it's probably both. the internet drew them out of the woodwork and allowed their causes/fetishes/etc. to spread.

I imagine there are many people who have entertained furrydom as a passing thought. If others weren't there to encourage them, they would probably go on to lead much more normal lives and only rarely think back to that time in middle school when they thought they might like to live life as a dog. That same person, given internet access, would now come to define himself as "furry", get involved in the community, etc. So maybe the percentage of potential furries is the same, but the number of people who actually become furries increased, and the same would be true for any of these groups (MRA, fat pride, whatever). There are also probably some people who would never have thought of being an anthropomorphic animal but came across the concept on the internet, thought it was cool, and got involved that way. So the internet may be increasing the number of furries in that manner as well. Like some people have the natural inclination to become furries in isolation but some are converted? I can't believe I'm thinking about this.

In any population, as outside selective pressures decrease, the incidence of mental illness and neoteny increases. IOW, the domesticated human is an idiot man-baby.

Memetic transfer of culture means that perversion is contagious. People know this instinctively and that is why they try to bully and ostracise weirdos, but the internet and our increasingly individualistic culture has created a situation where the self-esteem of each individual person is given greater importance than the health of the collective organism. Shame is a virtue.

look into the history of the nobility and monarchs op.quote:From his early youth, the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I "The Mad" (±1616-1648) had been locked up in the "Cage", a large building without windows. When he was finally proclaimed Sultan, he sought compensation for his lost years, indulging in debauchery with an endless supply of fresh virgins. One day, however, he had his entire harem of 280 women thrown into the Bosporus, tied up in weighted sacks. He became known as "The Crazy One".

also "amateur press associations" were the way fandoms communicated before the Internet, and Spock/Kirk fanfiction and furries both predate the World Wide Web by a considerable amount tiny toon adventures did an episode about their creepy adult fans incels probably existed but were just called something like "losers" fat pride probably doesn't have any history or precedent because fats are subhuman scum and this is self evident

Of course if you just want to guess, the answer is "freaks always find a way" and you can easily find enough of a pattern in information about much older history online to back up that guess.
