What do you hate about the furry fandom?

Are we moomin, or are we dancer?
Furs that you cant tell are fedora fuckers irl

What is a fedora fucker and why would you become angry about people you won't ever meet, but don't know what they're like in reality?

You know what I really hate....people I speak to on the internet...who have tattoos on parts of their bodies which I don't know about. o_O
They really get my blood boiling; they're everywhere! Everywhere!

I hate the ones who think they can judge others' fetishes and go like "ew you like pics with [insert thing] go away you inferior stain in the furry community!!111"
Or worse yet, those who try to justify their distaste with morals, when they're the ones fapping for animal characters. Humanoid or not.

People that complain about weird fetish art when they could've just blacklisted it.

It's fine to like what you like, but some things are best kept to oneself, or shared with only with an exclusive few.

It's the TMI sharing or roping in non-consenting parties that's the problem here.

People seem to be a little too open about their fetishes. I for one am not discussing mine, as they are on the weird and scary side of things.

I know it's not exclusive to the furry community, but I get annoyed by the attitude I see among many of the artists and creators that the rest of the fandom owes them a living.

Kind of an "I do art - pay my bills!"

Or "all of my utilities have been shut off and my license plates expired and my driver's license was taken away because I didn't pay child support and my pet is going to die of a preventable illness because no one is buying my art!"

If someone chooses to try to make their entire living by doing art, with no other source of income to cover lean times, that is entirely their decision. However, some of the "guilting" comments I see from the artists just annoys me, and the attitude that they are entitled to make a living just by doing furry art, and that it is somehow the fault of others when they can't make ends meet.

I don't like the fetish stuff but I'm not going to go out of my way to go and hate on the people that do it. It doesn't really have any effect on me or what I do so... yeah.

I don't think there's an option to blacklist stuff on FA, is there? Other than the hiding mature content option, but most people don't flag fetish art as mature.

I respect people who open commissions, offer a special deal, or do special doodles for people when they end up in dire financial straits, because then they're providing something for something.

Personally, though, if I were in financial trouble, I'd be embarrassed to just run a GoFundMe or the like, even if I could justify it somehow.

People who treat fetishes as their identity. I mean we're all into weird shit, I mean we wouldn't be here if we weren't. But holy shit dude I get it you're super into vore, please change your avatar.

I hate people that say you shouldn't share your furry interest publicly. All the time I see posts of someone telling how they showed their friends their fursuit, shared some furry art with a random person, did a project on them, followed by a person asking why they would do that. Almost as if they should treat it like some weird fetish. I understand a lot of people think it's weird, and you shouldn't shove it in their face, and for some people it's mainly a fetish. But, at heart, it's an interest and fandom, just like Star Wars, zombies, and Spongebob. And nobody seems to mind as much when someone expresses interest in those. They treat it like everyone is in it for the fetish art, and are going to share it with the world. But it's not true, and people are going to continue to think it as a weird fetish if we treat it this way.

If everyone acts like it's something to hide, then others will assume it's something that needs to be hidden for some reason.

It's why I'm fairly open about my fursuiting and furry activities on social media. There's nothing shameful or wrong about it, so what do I have to hide? Like I said before in another thread, I just take care not to overwhelm people with furry-furry-furry every day or all the time, because I don't want to come across as "fixated" or "obsessed."

Several non-furry friends have even started to comment positively on my furry photos, posts, and articles, and a few people have even expressed interest in attending a convention just to see it.

A couple friends have even told me in private that learning about the furry fandom has actually inspired them to explore their own identities more, and/or to confront things about themselves or their lives that they're dissatisfied with, and I think that's very cool.

Abolishing harmful behavior is one thing, but intolerance towards towards something innocuous because someone says it's "not normal" is just a case of "stop liking what I don't like."

I hate yiff art and Zoophiles. I think it is as equally degrading and damaging as anything else to this fandom. But I don't go making hate threads/journals about it to make others feel even more insignificant about a fetish that they themselves may have very little understanding about.

Ohh boo hoo...deal with it. Don't want to be made fun of, don't be involved in sick, abnormal stuff. Jacking off to a fur shitting in diapers is not normal at all and the fact you defend it is telling.

That mindset of, "if you don't have a fursuit, you're not a true furry". Screw that, I'd rather keep my money, thank you very much.

Okay, Mr. Zoophile.

I'm not a Zoophile. When have I ever advocated sex with or my desire to have sex with animals? I've said some pretty fucked up shit, but I've never said that.
