Warning: Long ass rant.

You know, I consider myself a fairly thick-skinned person on account of my upbringing, but admittedly even I get a little upset at times over some of the horrendous derogatory shit people spew about furries. We all know this culture has its... flaws, but when did it become such a crime to enjoy anthro themed content - at any age, whether that be for sexual or non-sexual reasons, create a character and role-play as that character?

No, this is nothing new to me, and I realize that people are afraid of what they don't understand, and some are just assholes because their upbringing was shit. But when you try to explain that there's more to the culture than the fetish aspect of it, that it's merely nothing but a hobby for many, that it raises thousands in charity every year and all the other good shit about it, all of that doesn't seem to matter because in their eyes you're still grouped in with the filth!

It's no wonder why some like to hide away in this culture as a form of escapeism, because if people like that are the best example of what humanity has to offer... I honestly don't blame them.


Oh, well, fuck em', right?

@Mr. Fox:
Yeah, people are usually judgmental a-holes. Whenever they get a 'moral edge' on you, they are gonna bother you with this. They'll look at the bad sides and forget about all the good sides.
Don't mind them. If they are like this, they are not worth your time.

Look.People hate furries in general cause' of the NSFW stuff that they see and then blame ALL OF US saying that WE are some freaks,some weirdos that need to drink bleach.

They can't see the good part of being a Furry.Like charity.It feels sooo good when you see a furry disguised in a animal making some poor kids happy.BUT there are,of couse,furries that put ALL OF US in a bad spot.Those furries do UNFORGIVABLE things.Its like giving a child a grenade,he puts it in his mounth and he dies.

The intention matter.

If you guys had the power to change something about this,what would you change?

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with liking NSFW furry stuff. As long as you don't flaunt it in anyone's face. I wouldn't immediately call that being a weirdo, it's a fetish, just like any other, and there are some weird ones out there, that's for sure. And it sucks but it does seem like people and the media only tend to be interested in the negative stories about furries because people love to hate, that's why we tend to get a bad image all round.

It's best to stay away from the hate and just ignore them, they're like annoying kids on a plane, if you ignore them long enough they'll stop kicking your chair. They only want attention and reactions from us.
I feel like being a furry is kinda like being gay in the 70's or 80's, when it was still normal to hate gay people.

What people are into is none of my business. How it affects this culture is also none of my business. But it always seems to come back around to the same issue while ignoring everything else, and it's not really the community that's at fault.

Haters gonna hate...

Yay! I got to sleep in today! It feels good to have one day where I don't have to wake up at 5 am.
