What's With All the Furry Hate?
General | Posted 16 years agoI SERIOUSLY just don't get it! Everywhere I go on the net, it seems like someone is cracking a joke at our expense, or posting messages akin to "Yiff in hell furfag!". Where's it all coming from? I talked to a friend last night who seems totally disgusted by furries.....I listened to her arguments, which summed up to these two:
A. Furries are basically people who want to have sex with animals. I love animals, hence I hate furries.
B. Furries are always shoving their porn in people's faces. That's rude, I don't want to see it, thus I can't stand furries.
Okay, those are sorta understandable arguments from someone's perspective.....but I don't think they're really all that true. The furries I've met don't "shove their art in people's faces" anymore than any other kind of artist. So what if someone posts a furry pic on deviantART......how is that any less acceptable then what other people post? My TF pics, for instance, might be offensive to some folks, but I'm not "shoving it in their faces"......I'm simply posting it where they can look at it or not as they please. It's no different than any other artist wanting to share their work right?
As for the "we want to fuck animals" thing.....well that seems a tad harsh. I have no desire to go screw a dog! Besides, most of the furry art I've seen depicts bipedal characters with human-intelligence......PEOPLE with animal-like features, not ANIMALS with human-like features. That's a major distinction in my book! Even if that wasn't the case.......a fantasy is a fantasy, and has nothing to do with real-life in most cases. I can fantasize about things I would NEVER do in real life......and I honestly don't think there's any harm in that.
So it boils down to this.....WHERE is all this hate coming from? Why are furries so universally DESPISED? Did a few extremists somehow offend the majority of the human-race, ruining the reputations of the rest of us? Seriously, what the hell is the problem here? I just don't get it!

*CACKLES* Nice Choice!
General | Posted 16 years agoJust caught this preview vid for the new Transformers game, showing off Shockwave (who you can only get as a playable character if you preorder, so I suggest if you want him, you hurry fast!). Anyways, points to anyone who recognizes the song!
