The worst I ever got from a "troll" was a guy asked me if I was a furry, I said yes, and then he scoffed and walked away.
"if you poke somthing with a stick and it squirms, YOUR GONNA POKE IT AGAIN!" - 2, The Ranting Gryphon
simple:
because we're weird.
plain as a white sheet, man.
We're just straight up weird people in a world that strives to hang on to some form of communal normalcy.
I mean, just think about this for an example:
It's not weird to blantantly sexist, racist or rude. (them)
However, it IS weird to be nice, art-loving, and to feel connected to animals. (us)
oh and in racism, I DON'T mean against furries. We are NOT a race. Go on encyclopediadramatica, search up women or african-american and you'll see what I mean.
OH one more thing:
It is SO incredibly easy to be mean over the internet.
I wear my tail EVERYDAY and I rarely EVER get any shit from people for it. The worst I ever got from a "troll" was a guy asked me if I was a furry, I said yes, and then he scoffed and walked away.
Trolls rarely step away from their computer moniters.
Also it is weird to welcome dog fucking paedophiles into your subculture.
dude no kidding, the nature furry fandom attracted them and its sick that they got associated with furries (the only thing that a troll can say that will piss me off anymore is i F*** animals) yes there is a sexual side of the fandom but its with anthro-animals.
furry fandom attracts zooaphiles like cubscouts attract pedophiles (bad example but it's the best i could come up with...)
^might as well start your fear mongering on sites that don't skirt the rules with furry, and instead just go with drawings of kids having sex? Wouldn't those be worse?
So, you don't care about the children? Just the Fandom? If you really cared about it you would attempt to stop it in any form, not just posting on random threads generalizing the entire fandom based on a very small group, and calling that small group of people pedophiles and rapists...
What about the "tame" pictures? What about art featuring children? How far does it go?
What I mean is how far do you take the censorship? Do you take it so far that a child cannot be depicted nude in a painting?
Do you know how many people upload photo's of "bath time" onto the internet?
Do you know how many people take photographs of children who are nude, for whatever reason?
Are all those people pedophiles? Should they be arrested for child pornography?
Just because someone enjoys something in a fantasy world does not mean they want to do it in real life.
And just because someone is nude it does not make it sexual.
Now, I must admit I do not understand the baby fur art, I don't understand how someone would like Bondage, or a ton of other things. But that's for them, if they are not doing it in real life I don't really care.
First off what kind of idiot uploads a picture on to the internet of their kid naked, who takes naked pictures of their kids in the first place? Honestly I think that kind of activity should at the very least be regarded with suspicion, and even if they aren't a paedophile they should still get a kick in the ass for being a retard. Non-sexual nudity is kind of a grey area I agree, a drawing of a little girl getting gang raped by adult men, furry or otherwise leaves no doubt as to it's intent. Also, how do you know they aren't doing it in real life? That's is the element the fandom attracts when it allows this kind of content. The difference between bondage and paedophilia is consent, simple as that.
I will say that you know nothing of what people do in real life. Bondage is not always consensual, beastiality is not always consensual, sex is not always consensual, but that does not mean it should all be banned. It simply means that if you catch people doing such things without consent (rape) then you prosecute them. If you start prosecuting everyone for what they might do then you get into a VERY slippery slope and EVERYONE would be put in jail.
As for photographs of children:
Simple google Search: Results 1 - 21 of about 4,170,000 for baby bath.
Looks like a lot of them. I see how far you take the censorship, do not agree with it, and realize I cannot sway your opinion. I bet you think everyone that is part of a nudist colony is a pedophile and sex fiend as well, right?
Anyways, not going to get anywhere, so going to stop discussing this with you before it turns into "drama".
. I mean how are people going to react to fursuiters if they know it could be a sex offender in there. I've heard some really troubling stories about some people in fur suits glomming all over children at cons. Seems a fursuit would be a very attractive tool for a paedophile to get close to kids without anyone being suspicious, and it honestly worries me.
i have thought this very same thing, but the same suspicions can be applied to little leauge coaches, workers at chucky cheese, mall santas, grade school teachers, day care providers....hell i even heard of not just one but multipul cases of a preist being a pedo.
all i can say to the concept of a fursuit pedo is atleast it does not hurt anyone. i mean the sicko is able to get his kicks without any harm to the child, infact the kid is oblivious and likely enjoys getting to hug a big stuffed animal.
the concept of not knowing a pedo in a fursuit hugging your kid is similar to the idea of not knowing a zooaphile is petting your dog.
it does not hurt anyone but its still sick.
i love fursuits, they are wearable art and thanks to fursuits my dream of living off my art is comming true....so i wish that there weren't all these negative things attached to them (strange sex toy, zooaphile looking the part, pedophile attracting kids) as it threatens to spoil it for me.
There is the common misconception.. hate isn't the motive. It's nothing personal. Just lulz :/
Why do trolls hate us..
They don't. They acknowledge our existence.
Trolls don't hate furries. Trolls love furries. They think we're the best thing since sliced bread.
your missing the point about trolls. Trolls piss everyone off so that they can feel better bout themselves.
Trolls go after everyone, furs are just easier than others nowadays.
They don't. They just like to watch every easily-angered furry squirm.
That comes from effective trolls. :|I still don't understand where people get this idea that trolls hate us.
Irony allergy?Wow, where did this thread come from? And why haven't I trolled the bejeezus out of it?
The thing that really sets this case apart from the whole, teacher, coach, priest thing is the apparent prevalence of paedophilia here, you'll never see drawings of adults raping kids on a coaching website, so I think people may have a harder time believing that it's just a small group, seeing as they don't really seem to have to keep it a secret here, and I wouldn't blame them. Plus everything about the furry fandom is very appealing to children, you add an apparent acceptance of paedophilia to that and the whole thing becomes awfully sinister. Will the fandom still be able to find hosts for furry cons when that's the public perception? Will it still be safe to walk around in a fursuit? Will people lose their jobs, will animation companies still want to employ people who draw anthro art?
