I noticed that some people just have an extreme hatred for furries.
I have a friend and I would not call him a generally intolerant person at all, he knows I am homosexual and never cared unlike all other people I have ever told about that(around 6 people), but he has an extreme hatred for anything furry. Like on the level of “All furries should be killed” not the usual shit we can read on the internet.
I do not understand it, but there is really no way to get him to any not as extreme standpoint.
furry hate started on something awful, which transferred to 4chan and other sites in the early-mid internet. from what i’ve experienced it’s a combination of finding us annoying and a condemnation of what they view as sexual perversion. furries have always been closely linked with the lgbt community however these days anti-furry rhetoric is barely veiled transphobia. that being said, if someone wants to personally call me annoying or speculate that i’m into x or y fetish, i really don’t care. this of course doesn’t cover zoophilia or pedophilia, which i’m outspoken in opposition to both inside and outside of the furry community.
