Are you saying that ALL furries are like that? It's very likely the minority, the extreme minority.

the same reason for the my little pony hate. A few people who decide to take it over the top and shove it down everyone else's throat ruin it for everyone associated with it..It is the same for just about any group or community....

because furries are better than us and people don't like things that are better than them. oh and for the record being a furry doesn't just mean you want to fuck animals. in fact it might not necessarily come to that at all. it just means you want to be an animal.

People hate furries because of the silent majority and the loud minority. Really the larger portion of the furry community is quite happy staying within its own sites and are into fairly normal things. They are content just sticking there and not bothering anyone.

Then you have the small sub groups of the fandom. These are the ones that most people think of as the "average furry", the ones who make it seem like all of us screw any animal that moves whenever we get the chance, the type that can't go five minutes without asking someone to yiff, the type that wears a fursuit every moment of the day. Those ones are the ones that freak out when someone says it is weird, they are the ones that cry "fursecution"(I can't stand that word.

I am in the furry community for several reasons, one is to just talk with like minded people, another is to see the artwork and stories involving anthros. Another is the porn, yes I will not deny it. I like furry porn. Not going to throw it in your face though. Most of the time people I talk to outside of the fandom are not even aware I am a furry. I won't deny it if it comes up, but the first thing I say to someone I meet isn't "Hey there, I'm a furry!" No, that would just be weird.

I personally loosely identify myself as a therian (different from a furry, look it up), though I keep it to myself and a few friends. While I know a lot of furries aren't into the weird shit and are perfectly nice people, I generally don't like them and I consider being called a furry an insult. Though I have been called "furfag" before. Very annoying, especially cosidering the fact that the most they go by is that I like a lot of animal themed movies and books x__x. OH NOEZ, SOMEONE LIKED THE LION KING! FURRYYYYYYYY!

I have a set of ears and a tail, though I usually wear them at the rare time I'm at costume parties, anime/fan conventions, Halloween, etc. Whenever I say an animal character looks "hot" it's usually beause of more human qualities (like voice and voice actor, personality, other human-like stuff...unrelated to anything sexual) and it's also mostly just joking around between friends. I think beatiality is animal cruelty, I don't like yiff, and I don't like the fact that I can't unsee my classic childhood cartoon characters drawn with oversized boobs and schlongs fucking each other. Though for that matter, I also don't like slash and the obsession over yaoi/yuri/hentai, hence why I often distance myself from the anime crowd (particularly fan art and fics).

Remember when you were a kid and watched Loony Tunes?

Remember when Bugs Bunny would dress as a lady bunny and you would laugh?

"Oh, you silly Elmer Fudd, that's Bugs in disguise!", you would shout, a gleeful smile on your face.

Now imagine all the childhood innocence removed from that scene.

...


Yeah.
OH CHRIST NO! *tremors*.

Thanks for giving me that image.

Everyone!
Replace the word 'Furry' with the word 'Gay', now you're back about 30 years ago.
Grow up, get on.

They're hated because they're different. That is all that needs to be said. I'm hated in Florida because I'm a sociopath and not a generic frat boy, but y'know.

I remember when wanting animal love was something rednecks were accused of doing to get them mad.

Now it's... Cool?

I don't get it. What happened?

"Furry Fury"? OP, Y U No alliterate?

Anyway, I dunno whether I'm just not up to speed with the internet or whatever, but I don't go looking for 'Furries' on any forums, and I've never really seen any around here. There probably are some, but good on em for keeping it to themselves.
*Why y u no literate* :p

It's pretty simple:

People don't hate people who have my main fetish. Which one? Not telling you, thank you very much. Neither does anyone who has it.

Furries are notorious for telling EVERYONE they can find on the internet about theirs.

Note the use of "notorious". I haven't seen much of it (and don't hate furries), but I'm told by others that they wish the furries would keep their traps shut.

Because it's the 'in' thing to do. I don't hate on 'em. Not one of 'em, but I don't hate on 'em either.
This pretty much describes my feelings on the subject.

Because nerds spent their school years being bullied by jocks because they didn't think and behave like the 'normal people', then the nerds grew up, or grew older at least, colonised the internet and started picking on people who didn't think and behave like them.

Why? Fuck knows. Perhaps you can't feel you're part of the majority unless you have a minority to look down on.

And yes, it's safe to click. Just some text I couldn't be arsed to transcribe.
That text is only half-right. I'll get to that in a mo'.

Furries get hated because of there being not a single piece of media outlet that depicts the actual facts, instead they overexpose the sexual minority within the furry fandom, which by the way is NOT in any way, shape or form, exclusive to us. Other fandoms have sexual lunatics in them too.

If you actually took time out to do your research, you'd be shocked at how furries are no different than people who aren't furries. There are even furries that hate other furries for being furverts (read: shamelessly overexposed sluts). As a furry myself, I have and always will be condemning zoophilia/bestiality and anyone who says/thinks that said fetish is a "true fetish for any self-respecting furry", because it isn't. It's a fucking crime against Nature and I'm ashamed to know that I used to know a few furries who turned out to be closet zoophiles.

No, stop. Don't quote me and say that zoophilia = animal sex. "Zoophilia" refers to human-on-quadruped-animal sex, or animal-on-animal sex. None of the animals in question are biped or sentient. If they are actually sentient with human intelligence, they qualify as humanoids and are thus exempt from the fetish.

But this is the Internet, after all, where the stupids of the world are free to pitchfork-and-torch-mob anything Fox News tells them to. So get off your narrow-minded ignorant asses and actually LOOK into things before you judge.
Pretty much. I've actually met a few furries IRL and the only thing they do to express their views in a physical sense is wear dog collars. Yeah, it's a bit weird, but it's not anything weirder than the average hipster honestly.

...because someone into bestiality who DOES go through with it is so much more deserving of our respect?

*hangs head in frustration

Wow, I meant among the few who promote it. Why you no understand that? I see that it gets hate, now why does anybody admit to it? It seems like a bad thing.

Wasn't asking why you liked it, I was asking how on earth anyone would see it as an acceptable practice. Especially considering how many people find it revolting.

Oh joy, this thread again. And the 1st responder used that same tired picture that most people can counter. It's fucking Christmas in here.

OT: It's a way for people to feel a part of something. Am I talking about furries or the furry hate? I'll let you find that out.
