yeah furries are weird but they're generally really nice people

i feel like most of the hate comes from being aware of them, but never having interacted with them

It's just not an issue these days but in the early days of furries existing on the internet there were a ton that were just loving obnoxious about it. I for one just don't give a poo poo if people want to be furries but you'd seriously have furries running around posting furry porn or about how big of a furry they were in every single thread they were in. They'd just never shut up about it and drown out entire conversations with furry stuff. Like yeah be a furry and talk about furry things if you want but don't shove it into every single conversation. More importantly don't scream "fursecution" at anybody that asks you to tone it down a bit and talk about other things sometimes or, at the very least, don't Kramer into every single conversation ever to insert fur into it.

It doesn't help that a lot of furries also tend to have some extremely bizarre sexual fantasies and simultaneously don't understand that most people don't want to see them. Look at vore porn if you want, it's none of my business, but please don't show it to me and stop showing it to me if I tell you I don't want to see it. Maybe, just maybe, you should read the room a bit before posting that sort of thing.

I know there are furries that say they aren’t into sexualisant the anthropomorphic animals, they’re just fans. That makes less sense to me than wanting to gently caress Disney’s Robin Hood. Weird fetishes I get but I don’t get just sort of... liking Mickey Mouse and college sports mascots and Spyro just cuz.

NordVPN got hacked last year, didn't publicly admit until it until a year later, and then went in full damage control mode and swore that nothing major had happened even though actual independent security people said that going by the info the hackers released they had full access to everything on the hacked server for months and we're never detected the whole time. They basically spend millions of dollars on ads scaring old people and getting affiliate links to youtubers but nothing on actual security.

People enjoying things is pretty neat.


I don't even get angry at people that like fortnite etc. 2 years ago I'd probably be like, "that game sucks and you should feel bad!" but now it's more like "hell yeah, if you're having fun I don't see the harm :unsmith:" and it's just nice that someone is smiling at some point because we all live in a hellworld

Hell yeah, you enjoy the wrestling! I don't know anything about it, complete blindspot, but my lack of experience shouldn't invalidate your enjoyment, y'know?

"Furend" "my mate" "my soul is a wolf"

I do think a lot of furry hate was couched in lgbt hate, but holy poo poo was a lot brought on by them being straight bullshit to deal with at times. Remember that story about a guy who had an anal vore coming out party? A lot of people call fake on it, but in my experience, it's plausible.

I'm an artist, and furries have been great to me, but holy moley. Just recently, I asked for a ref from a client, and she posted multi-titted, multi-dicked fetish art to me, only asking if I was ok with nsfw AFTER she sent it. poo poo had AT LEAST three dicks, one of them being a tongue, and so many goddamned boobies. Just a row of em. She was lucky I'm a goon that's not phased by sex-weird, because holy poo poo, what the gently caress, that's your reference? It wasn't even a sexy commission, it was a cutesy little thing wearing a cute little outfit. I don't even draw porn, it's my partner that does that!




However, I will say, I've watched them get more aware over the years, and less obnoxious, and they are generally a very kind group of people, aside from a few outliers. Once my pronouns are established with them, they honor them, and immediately correct on their own, should they forget. My identity is never a problem, nor is my queerness, and I have had them commission me just because they wanted me to have a good meal, and they knew I wouldn't just take their money for nothing. I recently had someone tip $15 on a piece I was charging $30 for. Just a little cartoon thing. Then he got all his friends to commission me, and THEY TIPPED TOO.

Anime dudes never tip. Game dudes never tip. In fact, those guys try to steal merch, you have to either tie everything down, or watch your booth constantly. Furries tip, and when I found one stealing (once, btw, I've been dealing with these people for about ten years now) he was publically shamed for taking from artists.


Regardless of how others may feel, this demographic has treated me very well, even as a relative outsider. As an artist, I'm treated incredibly well by the majority, which is nice, given how artists are treated elsewhere. Ironically, I am treated more humanely by furries than almost any other group, especially in regards to my identity.


E: I should have refreshed, as the thread has moved on. Sorry! Ignore me. I won't edit it out, what I said stands, but do carry on.

I use my capability for critical thought for thinking about all kinds of stuff that isn't "getting unreasonably angry about harmless stuff that people do for fun and what kind of cartoons folks on the internet like". Living in this motherfucker of a hellworld is hard enough and it seems furries are generally nice and accepting people who don't spend their time complaining about irrelevant bullshit on a dead internet forum.

Most of the people he was creeping on were furries too. That’s one of the reasons he thought it was ok to PM us poo poo like bestiality porn. SCB’s poo poo was nothing to do with him being a furry and everything to do with being a hosed up sociopath, narcissist, zoophile and overall horrendous creep
