We all have our own definition of fun.... No one deserves to be judged.

It goes a bit deeper than that, but seeing as my attempts to explain it usually end in a resounding meh... Not going to bother.

Anyways, regardless of your thoughts on the fandom, I think throwing chlorine gas might be a little fucked up just because you don't like it. Just go on the internet and deliberately seek out furry sites to complain on them like normal people.

Why do anything? For what purpose do you frequent this website?

What? I can't have my opinion on said matter?

I'm not fan of furries, but I'm not sure I can condone gassing them.

Why would one who hates furries choose to get in close enough contact with them to deliver poison gas? I express my dislike of furries by generally ignoring their existence.

What logical reason would anyone have to do such a thing? What are they doing that anyone finds offensive?

Indeed. We are supposed to be free men allowed to like what we like. Whoever did this must suffer the same fate as the victims. An eye for an eye.

No. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. It's a criminal offense, but that doesn't warrant them being gassed. It would make us no better than the one who gassed the innocent furries.

Yeah, it was us. Great detective work.

Sometimes, opinions are meant to be kept inside to prevent meaningless conflict.

Honestly I know people have never been rather accepting of certain fandoms but this is just outright disgusting to think anyone would resort to terrorism over what others do for hobbies.

I saw this on sidebar, and thought it was one of the gameplay events....now I feel terrible for laughing.

This is sick, why would you attack innocent furries? Leave them alone.

by **Saint Kitten** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 5:27 pm

Probably 4chan or some extremist group. I'm honestly surprised that this didn't happen sooner

Yeah, I thought it was an II thread. I was expecting poor roleplay and one-liners that I could laugh at.
Nope!

I frequent this website because I enjoy it and because I can. So yeah I get your message and everything. Yes I know we should let people do whatever the hell they want because it's their right to do so. But I also have a right to criticize and speak my mind (and you have a right to criticize my opinions).

by **Petnagonia** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 5:28 pm

Meh, I don't see how it affects me one way or another.

by **Nazi Flower Power** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 5:28 pm

Probably some kind of religious fundamentalists.

People should just leave the furries alone and let them have their con.

My eyebrows have shot through my forehead. It wouldn't be funny if some people attacked superhero cosplayers, why would this be laughable?

It's not funny they were attacked, but it's fucking hilarious that:
1. I have never seen a better headline, it was very unexpected.
2. there is some douchecanoe out there who has nothing better to do with his shitty life than hurt some people who like to dress up like animals. Which okay is weird but seriously? Who's the bigger loser here? You are, Mr. Putting-Out-Chlorine.
3. Furry conventions are a thing??????

and yeah the above would be just as funny if it was "Terrorist attack at Spiderman Cosplay Competition."
Like. What even?

Maybe the person who did it has a fantasy where they are an exterminator...

I find it extremely improbable that it's 4chan.

4chan's involvement is doubtful. Though some of what goes on there is certainly out there, a majority of the users aren't outright criminals.

And those that are outright criminals aren't outright terrorists or attempted mass murderers, which is a pretty important distinction.
