I hate them for their stupid attitude about how normal people hate them and all, or the fact that they'll judge you for judging them. The fact that some would actually delude themselves into believing that these sets of internet behaviors are actually acceptable in a sense or even entirely marketable. I find it entirely childish and also an opening for anyone to just look you up and then say "NOPE" the moment that they see a photo of you in a fursuit on facebook or on this website.
They chose a fad that was once only appealing to little kids at theme parks and birthday parties, it was a job to have to be a mascot for sports games and events. It was something for Halloween for people whom were bored to go about and do. It was utilized in video games to appeal to kids and bored teens. Anthropomorphism is okay when used for entertainment, but to actually have someone think that they are taping into their inner wolf... give me a fucking break... it's retarded beyond belief.
SO do any of you agree? Or care? or just fucking hate how stupid they look?
I once knew a guy who pretended to be a furry on the web solely to fuck with people. He was actually a pretty nice guy. I learned a good bit about web design, digital painting, and being relaxed about life from him.
I don't really want to be a furry, because of all of the stereotypes. Even though I draw Anthros and Furries, I hate to be called one because most people this all Furries practice porn art and stuff like that, and I don't really do that. So, I stay out of the fandom so people will not call me a porn faggot.
I'm not a fan of furries.... especially anthro-furry :/ they may be a little bit annoying to the eyes but some person in a mascot/furry outfit or costume is totally kidding me... (I really don't like sparkledogs to be honest)
but I don't hate them furries (especially if they are only in their plain animal form to the fact that I like foxes and cats).
I don't hate furries, but I don't see the fandom's appeal either. I like my animals better as, well, animals instead of humans with animal heads. The idea that animals must anatomically and psychologically resemble humans in order to appeal to us is if anything anthropocentric and defeats the whole point of appreciating life's diversity.
