7 Surprising Reasons Why Furries Are Hated

Now that we've explored some of the foundational aspects of the furry fandom, let's address the elephant in the room, or should I say, the anthropomorphic elephant. Here are seven surprising reasons why furries are often the target of societal disdain:

1. Ignorance: Lack of understanding about what the furry community truly represents can lead to baseless judgments. People often fear what they don't understand, which can result in hatred or disdain.

2. Media Portrayal: Sensationalist media often focus on the most extreme elements of the community, painting an unbalanced picture that stokes the flames of prejudice.

3. The "Otherness": Being a part of any subculture creates an "us versus them" dynamic. For furries, this manifests as being viewed as 'other,' which can often lead to exclusion or ridicule.

Only time I ever saw a furry was one time at Six Flags. It (My preferred pronoun for such things) was wearing a tail.

I pointed at it and laughed.

I just never got over the WKRP carp getting into a fight with the WPIG pig in the men's room. That's what put me off furries. And scalies... I guess?

I think they make good housepets. They’re potty trained, they bring you beer and they scare away unwanted people at the door.

Just hit them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper if they misbehave.

It’s some type of dress-up game some gay and bisexual people play. I think(?)

“I don’t even know what furries are.”

I did not myself, just recently heard about it, so I looked it up on Wikipedia.

Too distressingly insane and perverted to read.

Post-Christian pagan idolatry is certainly going in some bizarre directions.

Yesterday it was some bizarre woman from Vancouver Island with an erotic attachment to a tree, today we hear how furries are admirable and normal.

Tomorrow ? I daren’t ask.
