    Exclamation serious post: why do people hate furries so much?

    I’ve been a part of the fandom for years now, so I’m used to hate online, but it’s gotten to the point where it has become unbearable. I own a popular TikTok account where I post furry art, and I have been repeatedly told to kill myself by trolls on the app. Recently, I’ve even faced harassment in real life. This last weekend, I was at the park with some friends roleplaying. I was wearing my German Shepard dog fur suit and roleplaying as a puppy, playing fetch with my friends and chasing the other dogs. Soon, a woman came to our group and began verbally harassing us. I was extremely scared, so I apologized to her. She returned to her bench but continued to watch us from afar. After she saw me lift my leg and urinate in a bush, she called the police. An officer responded to the call and I was issued an ordinance violation. I’m still extremely shaken from the experience and I feel like I was targeted for being a furry. I just don’t understand why furries are treated so much worse than members of other fandoms.

    Furries are a sex thing. People with furry avatars (like MM) are advertising their sexual deviances to the world.

    Re: serious post: why do people hate furries so much?

    Furries are the out-group and its acceptable to hate on them. I think its just the 'cool thing' to do.

    Reminds me of how it became 'cool' to hate on Nickleback although half the people I knew who hated on that band in public still listened to them.

    The difference is that participating in out-group culture is a far cry from participating in in-group culture while its trendy to hate on the activity.
    Intellectual growth comes from discussions, not arguments. If you are unwilling to change your position and hear the other persons side you are closed minded and wasting your time.
    If you can not clearly explain what the other sides reasoning is you can not disagree with their position because you do not understand it.

    Yeah, and there's also a greater fear of "sexual degeneracy" at play. I guess humans are just hard wired to scrutinize others in that way.

    Why do you assume its sexual though?

    Really think about it. What is sexual about dressing up in a costume? Sure it can be. You could do cosplay because you want to dress up as some character or you could dress up because you have always wanted to get laid in some role-playing thing.

    How is that any different for people who dress up as mascots and animals? I know people who are into that stuff and are totally a-sexual. Its as narrow minded to write off all people who like that as sexual degenerates as it would be to do so for anyone thats into comic con.

    Its not like every person who likes a comic of wonder woman only likes it because they are whacking it to the comic.

    I'm not saying it is necessarily sexual. I completely agree. I'm saying ppl are hardwired to seek out "sexual perversion" or "sexual threats". It's like when you hear a man say something about liking kids and wince, even if the context makes it clear they didn't mean it like that.

    Ppl see a cartoon animal suit and their brain goes cartoon animal suit ----> animals ----> bestiality ----> doesn't care about consent ----> rapist?!?!? Arguments about furries almost inevitably turn into discussions about what they could secretly, subconsciously want or be, which is obviously impossible to defend.

    I got a few ppl in my family who have been detatched from social progress for like, the last 40 years. Talking to them is like stepping through a time machine. From that anecdotal experience, I can say a hysteric fear of paedophilia is a critical component of the extreme secular homophobe's worldview. They literally assume they're all kid fiddlers.

    I read somewhere once out of a certain amount of furries polled, like 80% of them watch furry porn ~60+ times a month or some shit. I am probably remembering it wrong because that's a retarded amount of porn to watch just in general lmao, but it was still a stupid high amount regardless.

    Re: serious post: why do people hate furries so much?

    But I feel like you're all missing the point here. Whether it's sexually motivated for a particular furry has no moral relevance, and they will be treated with the same contempt by society. They get roasted because they're easy targets and because we can project our fears onto them. In 30 years when there's a "furry rights movement" (god help us), our attitudes will be recognised (perhaps legitimately) as some form of "furryphobia".

    I'm surprised this doesn't already exist, to be honest. So many things are deemed to be "offensive" these days, and the fact that people aren't jumping everywhere due to what you aptly named "furryphobia" is telling about the amount of sincere thinking that actually comes from those who claim to defend the rights of the oppressed.

    Re: serious post: why do people hate furries so much?

    isn't that a false equivalency though? If you're not into bestiality and just do the furry thing for fun, then that's your choice. You don't choose to be black, female, gay, etc. Looking down on someone for their own choice is not the same as looking down on them for something they were born with.

    Now, if it's not a choice and you're legitimately sexually attracted to animals, a reason that I think it is similar to pedophilia is that most of those animals aren't exactly going to be able to give an informed consent...

    Re: serious post: why do people hate furries so much?

    in all seriousness. i personally have no issues with ‘furries’. now i do find the whole idea a little bizzare, but theres lots of weird interests and hobbies out there. dressing up as an animal seems a little weird to me but i have a couple of monomaniacal interests myself that most people would find strange and maybe even a little crazy. so who am i to judge?

    now when a sexual element is inserted into it, that is where it gets to get a little muddy and a bit ‘creepy’ to me, and i can honestly say that if someone i was seeing was into that kind of stuff i would ask them to not engage in it or dress up as a fursona (?) while they were with me. now this is a little speculative because its hard to tell what i would do in such a scenario, but as far fetishes go, whilst the idea of dressing up as an animal seems strange at first i do not think it necessarily implies bestiality. as far as i can tell most characters in furry porn have identifiably human characteristics; would a furry be attracted to the corresponding animal version of the character? my guess is most would not be.

    This same survey shows that ~45% of furries have at least some degree of sexual attraction to animals.

    reading a little about it, it seems non-heterosexual orientations are vastly over represented among furries. its also mostly made up of nerdy men, so there may be something to this idea that sexuality plays a significant part.

    I occasionally read up on the lore of the WH40K universe. There is so much to it and its to insanely detailed that I doubt anyone knows all of it. Regardless, my point is that I can imagine a very dedicated fandom arising around that universe and a thought popped into my head. I would not the idea of a particularly dedicated fan being sexually attracted to some aspect(s)/characters in the WH40k universe, and at the same time I would find such a person odd and would immediately suspect them of being... weird, in some real and visible manner. The idea of being so dedicated to that particular storyline raises immediate alarm bells to me. It may be because of it looking like a literal 15 year old horny teenager’s wet dream more than anything. An adult being obsessed with it suggests perhaps having a boring and an uninteresting life to me? IDK. I’m just vomiting my thoughts on paper (!) as I speak. I think furry fandom has something in common with WH40k in some manner, altho idk why.

    It suggests furries are ppl with frankly uninteresting sexualities, and if they wish to receive social validation they must find a way to liven up their vanilla normie shit. Maybe shag a real animal then try talking to the popular girl

    Basing off the comment that apo relied to that 'furry-ness' can be sexual in some degree. The same can be said about human bodies. a large portion of human body users make use, want to make use of their body for sex, or fantasize about other bodies.
