school furry haters?

Here is the reason why most people hide it (I know its been said somewhere in this thread but I'll say it again)

1. There are way to many freaks out there and I would rather not be associated with them, I like anthros yes but all that others stuff I don't like and if that means hide my hobby then fine.

2. It also depends on your location and how the people act and are open minded, where I lived at you'll get jumped and messed with for being part of the chess club; show them your someone who likes talking animals and boy I would of been fighting 'till I graduated.

3. Unlike other fandoms, the furry fandom has shit loads of porn with members who is in the fandom for just that, porn. Like some others stated in some of the above post, you don't see gothic porn everywhere you look for information about goths or skater porn when you look for skaters. People believe that furries just want to fap to porn all day and fuck and most people wouldn't want a rep like that.

No furry haters at my school. One of my friends thinks people on fur forums could be dodgy, but hell.. anyone on the internet can be. That's about the only negative feedback I've gotten about furry though. Not that I advertise my furriness. One of the furs at my school advertises mine and the other furry's furriness for us.. against my will, but oh well. I don't really care.

Honestly I can't get past the comparisons D: .

what he means is skateboarders have their own style, like clothes and such and you can usually tell if they skate just by looking at em, so i think he meant why dont furry's wera a phi paw, or tails & ears,or something like that so you can tell if they are a fur, (i think)

but i can see why someone wouldnt want to, ridicule and what not, but i haven't had trouble and i draw furrys on my board, and in class and such and no one knows what they are, they just say "did you draw that" and i get compliments and such. But i guess it varies from state to state, town to town

(rant HURRR =B)

It's always hard to find a crowd in Highschool that 'we' can blend in with -- highschool especially.

Keep looking, because you will find someone with some sort of an interest. ;)

surprisingly... i don't get picked on in school for being a furry, actually, that's not surprising to me... no one at school knows i am a furry (not even my friends) i get picked on because i am strange and random...

Heh...the only furry I know of at my school is the morbidly obese kid known as "Shamu" or "Mr.Nipples" who looks at furry porn out in the open on the school's computers. He introduced me to this site, but there is no way I'll talk to him about it.

Well...I try to be noted as a furry. I'm not hated, but feared ^_^. I just growl and howl and I like how people watches me. Also, bite people is fun too. My teachers...well...they note that, but I dunno if they know what's a furry. I even changed my name to match my fursona's, but I can't get them to call me like that...

I dont talk about it in school or in public. I only talk about it with my very close friends. I do this because i know people are very narrow-minded and will do whatever they can to ridicule me because I'm different.

Anyone in my school with the gut's to beat me up for being 'furry' would be far to busy beating people up for other things they give a shit about.

So no.

DONT PANIC
I have a few people at school, mostly just a few /b/tards who bother me about "Fucking dogs in the ass" and a kid who wants to punch people who wear "those furry costumes."

People really don't care if you tell them at all, if you constantly pester them about it and for show them furry art, then they might get really pissed, but other than that I'm just a regular guy now.

I don't feel the need to brag about it in High School. If I can meet some furries at University, then I'll try to make friends with them. But otherwise, I keep my furriness in my own room.

so far only 2 of my close friends knows im a furry and one of them never heard of one in their life. as for the rest of the school, i dont want to know their reaction. most of my friends wouldnt care though, but i still havent told them. i'm planning to wear my collar to a friend's party soon. maybe then they will find some connection.....

back when I was i school, yea I know the stone age, no one made much fun of me. It was a small private school of only 300 from k to 12. I came to the school at a very dark time in my life, I had just lost my mate. Yea I was young so was she, but drunk drivers just dont care what age you are.

I had a horrid dark evil attitude, and did not give a damn what people thought of me. That did not change over the next 3 years. How did it work out? I don't know dont care, i was there for the education. I went on to work for Disney world in florida and made some great friends. I was a furry back then, still am a furry today, let anyone who asks know why and if they dont like me for that, their loss.

Don't be popular, be yourself, popular is over rated and stressful. Being you is the kewlist thing. Hard but then again anything worth having does not come easy.

PS: I'm a furry fan, because I still have not figured a way to get rid of this damn human skin.

Meh, i hate the fact that those who call themselves "normal," have to pick on or bother people that are not like them. Its something that is a fact of life, you act different you'll either be avoided or tormented. I was a little of both, but now that I am in college I am getting more confidence in who I am and can tell people to go to hell with out caring about there feelings.

And back on topic, most of my friends know I am a furry, but I dont have ears or any of the "typical" signs of the fandom, yet ;)

When people see someone unique or different they feel threatened and want to attack it. There are no open furries at the schools I attented for that reason. People who wear cloths that are not up todate on fashion trends are looked down upon, people who actualy strive to be different are called names and teased. It used to be the 'in' Abercrombie stuff but now it is going towards 'Gothic' clothing. (F*** you Hot Topic/Twilight)

I am in college and the worst I get is 'fur fag' from a gay. We tease back and forth so it is all in good sport.

I'm fine now. Though an emo guy plans to kill me, I won't do anything to make him mad. PS: Furries are few and somewhat-hated on Mexico. :3
