It's not even that, although that is a thing, it's just that it's been loving fifteen years since hating furries was an internet thing. Move on. Find a new thing.

Plus furries have better representation now. Sonicfox is pretty great

Furries have never done me any personal harm, nor even inconvenienced me in any way, which is more than I can say for other weird nerd subcultures like football fans.

Why would anyone stop making fun of furries? They're gross and pathethic, to a really special degree. You can find more than one thing gross at a time. Exposure to the gross thing doesn't make it more acceptable to most people, it just numbs them to it more

Just because furries have been awful for 20 years now doesn’t mean they suck any less.

I just don't understand furries. I understand wanting to be an animal just fine, like it'd be great to be an actual cat free of responsibilities, or just a moray eel or whatever, but they specifically want to be a certain kind of cartoon animal which seems to defeat the purpose. They don't look like animals at all.

I became aware of furries in the late 90s when MTV did some doc about a guy “coming out” to his family as a furry, and I literally could not wrap my mind around what the gently caress was even going on. 20 years later and a an unfortunate degree of exposure later and I still don’t understand it anymore than I did then.

My only guess as to why it’s managed to persist is that it’s become less about sexual deviancy over the years, and more about extremely online/ socially rejected people finding something to rally over that also allows them to completely disguise themselves and avoid reality. I don’t think a large amount of people are inherently drawn to living as sports mascots, but they are drawn to a group that doesn’t reject them for being autistic or being poorly socially adjusted or whatever. Whether or not that is healthy is probably debatable.

I agree it’s really not hilarious like it used to be but it’s still just depressing and embarrassing to look at.

From what I've heard about him, Sonicfox sounds like a decent dude. That doesn't mean he isn't a total weirdo dork though.

yeah if you ignore that kero fella and his whole group of zoophiles that got busted, and all the people who rushed to his defense, but we should just ignore that cause its unpleasant, right?

He's young, he's popular in two communities, he's practically a living meme, I can see why he's always excited. Good guy, but man do not follow his twitter. Actually, don't use twitter at all, it sucks rear end.

anyone who cheers on a mass murderer or supports the death of specific people, deserves to be deported.

additionally, mass murderers should be tortured to death, and killed the way their victims were killed.

If furries had been in charge of the Cats remake the character designs would be way less creepy and way more erotic.

Shakespeare should be performed in whatever the most obvious type of garb and decor is. For Julius Caesar, everyone should wear Roman dress, Caesar should wear a laurel wreath at all times and in MacBeth, MacBeth should wear a kilt and speak in a Scottish accent. I hate gimmicky Shakespeare performances where they try to give it either a Highly Relevant Message or put in some kind of dumb gimmick.

And no actors from Gamer Thrones or other stupid TV series. Benedict Cumberbatch can also gently caress off.

The best type of book cover features a silhouette of a man running down or towards a geometric shape with a realistically styled Roman or Greek bust looking at them from the other side.

"This play has survived hundreds of years and is regarded as a classic of English literature, but we should totally update it to the modern day and give everyone submachineguns*" ~ an idiot.

*that was an adaptation of Macbeth starring Jack Davenport. I felt the dialogue during the final duel between Macbeth and Macduff suffered somewhat from having to be shouted over two men firing Uzis at each other.
