So this is a comment i left on a picture i saw on DA, i got some responses to my previous comments i left and so i continued to read the thread.. this was my final response to them.
"Okay, this is a nice picture but i think after reading through all these comments i have to say im disappointed in the were community.
Stereotyping is wrong, and lame... it is not fair, nor nice to do to anyone. Just because some furries are sexually obsessed freaks, that have sex with animals, doesn't mean we all are. You can't let a few bad apples ruin the the orchard.
Secondly, there isn't anything wrong with being a furry... unless you never bother to actually get to know any of them.. i mean its not that hard to do research and find out the truth.
I don't agree with the opinion on this picture but i do respect it.
But when i think of furry, i think of the human fan of anthropomorphic fantasy art. I do not label my anthros as furries. Ever. I don't believe that there should be a distinction made here, its all the same.. except for the werewolf, thats different..
Basically none of these are furries, they're all anthro in some form, but a furry is a fan of anthropomorphic fantasy art.
YES a lot of people use "furry." as a word for anthro and it bothers me, because its slang and i dislike slang. I think theres an un-needed line being drawn here just to make the artists have this bubble of personal comfort so they can say they don't draw "furries."
I would not get bent out of shape about someone calling me a furry, because all a furry is, is someone who likes anthropomorphic fantasy art and typically thats as far as it goes.. If people honestly believe we're all freaks and are sexually obsessed fruit cakes well then, thats not my problem you can't be bothered to raise your maturity and intelligence level to research and find out the real truth, instead of stereotyping it all.
You people need your line of distinction because none of you have what it takes to be a furry, none of you are brave enough. You're all afraid that you'll negatively associated with a stereotype ... and thats just sad... Ill be keeping the werien community at arms length."
