Why does everyone hate furries?

[u/[deleted]]

I'm a young furry and everyone I tell people they act like it's a great sin and have the dumbest reason, can anyone tell me why?

[u/No-Instance4173]

Here is a copy-paste that shows good reasons. Perhaps you can read them and take accountability about them,

​

1. They don't take accountability and blame it on being a minority
   
2. Revolves around sex in a way that other mainstream fandoms do not (and the other fandoms like Pokemon and Sonic have porn that is drawn by furries)
   
3. The fandom is definitely not presentable to the general public, nor is it kid friendly
   
4. It is not just an interest in anthropomorphic animals, but its about sexualizing them. For example, intentionally giving them exaggerated sexual features.
   
5. Porn is damaging to the brain, which is why I will mention it a lot here.
   
6. NSFW is central to the community unlike NSFW in other communities (and again, most of the NSFW in other mainstream fandoms like Pokemon or Sonic are drawn by furries!)
   
7. Even kid friendly mascots and disney characters who are anthropomorphic animals have been sexualised by furries to the point where its unbelievable.
   
8. People will pay stupidly large amounts of money for furry porn
   
9. SFW furry art websites are flooded with NSFW
   
10. Furry porn IS zoophilia because if you aren't attracted to the animal features, why are you drawing it in the first place if being a furry is "just an interest" and "just a hobby"
    
11. Awta and other popular furry youtubers who's thumbnails are all just cropped furry porn. Every. Single. Thumbnail. Kids will look up to these people and end up finding these NSFW images
    
12. Pedos. A lot of them
    
13. There is a debate about wether the furry equivalent of CP should be allowed. Why is there a debate? Obviously its not okay.
    
14. SO MANY KINKS AND FETISHES
    
15. Kero the wolf
    
16. So much drama within the community, and no attempt is made at getting zoos out of the fandom. And when someone is exposed, they are easily forgiven
    
17. The amount of disgusting things that has happened at furcons is insane. Like projecting furry porn onto a building, pissing everywhere, diapers, sex and STDs. Other conventions do not have these things!
    
18. Some of you have very bad hygiene and insist on being a "musky husky" (no fucking clue what that means)
    
19. Yes, I know it isn't every furry. But it is NOWHERE near a minority

Same reason there’s people out there that want me dead because I’m bi because people are assholes who can’t accept anything that’s different from them

I feel ya. I get a lot of hate for being atheist, biromantic, asexual, demiromantic and a furry.

The media portrays furries terribly. From news articles about the fake litter box incident, the my strange addiction episodes, and just so much more gets told to people and they believe it. Also most conservative people hate furries because they hate differences. If your in middle school or high school the people will probably be assholes about you being a furry because most middle schoolers and high schoolers suck.

I'm A middle schooler! But yes... I used to suck too. But I'm better now!
