I'll bite: What's wrong with being a furry? It's really weird, there's no denying that, but I don't get how they're the lowest caste on the interwebs foodchain.

Because they fuck stuffed animals and try to claim people who are attracted to other flesh-and-blood humans are the crazy ones?

...and? I mean, I'm not overly concerned about the stuffed animals' feelings.

Because scapegoating the awful furries let every other nerd feel superior, while claiming the animu nerds peddling child porn and the comic nerds demeaning women and the bronies welcoming admitted rapists as "special guests" are all "VOCAL MINORITIES OMG STOP JUDGING US."

Well actually back in the day they used to be mocked because furries were fucking hilarious

And they still are, but so are many a kink.

Bronies are furries too, idiot.

(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Since the whole fucking point of that comment was "people like to feel superior even though their precious group is no less strange than furries," does it really matter?

Good for you for setting the record straight though. +100 smart points for you!

The phrase "vocal minority" was mentioned a bit upthreads, and I think it might apply here.

Dude, that's plushies. They're a whole 'nother can of worms.

::raises hand::

Those are plushophiles, not furries.

You know how sometimes there's the occasional "secret" bashing incest-shippers and claiming that anybody who ships incest either doesn't have siblings or if they do, wants to fuck them?

That sort of happens with furries - the idea that if you're shipping anthropomorphic animals, you either have never had a pet or if you do, you want to fuck it. And then there's the added layer of even finding animals or animal-like beings attractive at all, and the assumption that all furries want to be animals/their fursona. Given the association with "lesser beasts," so to speak, people end up treating them as somewhat sub-human, because hey, at least the folks into giantess vore and unbirthing are still attracted to human-looking people! (No offense intended to folks with those kinks - y'all are still cool, I just picked them since they're generally considered off-the-wall kinks that can't translate into real life.)

It doesn't help that there is a vocal and somewhat batshit minority within the yiffer subgroup, but no anti-furry person is going to accept that it is just a minority, and that every group has their own vocal, batshit minority that can make the group as a whole look bad.
