Why are so many people so against furries?

[New Westmore]

I think that it is primarily that, people are not animals. There is no use pretending to be something that you are not. A two year old kid pretending to be a dinosaur or a unicorn or something is one thing, but a full grow adult doing it can be seen as strange, as, no matter how much they pretend, it is a simple fact that humans are not animals.

Scientifically, people are animals - we are derived from a common ancestor with hominids like chimpanzees. And I mean, NationStates and tons of other games just like it revolves on the idea of pretending to be something you aren't - in this case, a nation. So what? Let them have fun, like we have fun here.

Oh great, another brain-dead LARP. Never heard of this" war" in the first place anyway. Are we all so disconnected from reality that we're deadass roleplaying war between two facets of internet culture? Really?

As people have said before, grow up. The world has real problems, and people in animal suits aren't one of those problems.

Growing up is realising that you don't have to be so nitpicky about what people enjoy doing in life. You aren't them, they aren't you. You don't have to acknowledge them or even interact with them if you hate them that much. Simple as.

Also, little word of advice: 9 out of 10 times, an anti-furry slips into being a furry. Good luck.

It was a joke. Wasn't meant to be serious

Ah, sorry. Yet another instance where a joke flew over my head.

Those who start out as anti furries will most likely turn into furries, yes, albeit some anti-furries are former furries.

Really weird circle but here we are.

Dw. It's just an upcoming fictional war I made up because I see those communities fight all the time on Twitter, calling each other 'degenerate'

Reality makes no sense at all lmao

I see. Tbh anyone who uses Twitter is a flat out degen. I'd know, because I use it sometimes

Because OP genuinely wants to know why furries are so hated and I think self hating furries are relevant.

[Port Carverton]

That'd be the 30% I've mentioned above which find it "strange".

I just don't really care about how others form their identities. I'll respect the choices but all identities to me are too intangible to be placed on a pedestal when evaluating a person.

Thing is, when you're a grown adult cosplaying animals, people will look at you weird. Because you're pretending to be someone you aren't. It's that simple.

Considering how weird the internet can get, wearing an animal costume by itself is benign.

Yeah, the internet is home to loads of interesting folk whose mere mention threatens to violate the PG-13 limit of the board, so I dare not name them. Furries are incredibly tame, by comparison.

True, true, and I've witnessed a number of them; some even in person! Nobody infamous, though.

Using google translate and my cheap public education in a third world country to speak english, sorry.

My mistake.

Little word of advice: What you're doing is flamebait. Stop doing it. After further investigation because I was a total goober and didn't check history before I acted... we know who you are, and you should know better.

Pnsku Sovregard is hereby *** BANNED 3 days for flamebait + history ***

They are far too eager to enforce the notion that one should "resemble" "one's own kind".

[Floofybit]

Because we're human, not food, well, that's my reason why

I wouldn't recommend trying to eat a furry. You might be surprised how they are biologically the same as any other human.

[Floofybit]

Because it's so painfully easy to shit on furries, that's why. I'm partial towards them; I genuinely admire the creative talent some of the people in the community have, and I have met many furries who are some of the coolest people I have ever known, but again, their "niche" interests make them an easy target to harass and bully without consequence.

On another note, I personally believe that even now, hate for furries is just dwindling into effective silence, as it should be. Nobody should get harassed for just being themselves, unless them being themselves entails causing physical and mental harm to their peers.

And fluff people who identify as anti-furries. Like what the hell is wrong with you?

I know the difference between humans and animals, that's whats wrong with me.

Not knowing the difference between humans and animals doesn't matter at this point. What you should first focus on is learning what a furry actually is, because you obviously don't know.
