Unpopular opinion: Ok, so like I’m not even a furry and I don’t really understand that subculture, but like… why are furries getting so much hate? It just seems like everyone has decided that furries are an acceptable target in progressive, because they don’t get it and like if you don’t understand something, it obviously has to be about sex, right?
Like idk, I’m not super invested, but it’s annoying how liberal/progressive people think it’s okay to be assholes to this one group just because they don’t get them.
Maybe cause they are an “easy target” for trolls? And theres a blurry divide between regular furries and zoophila furries, people think all furries are zoophiles. I didn’t know liberals and progressives made fun of them I thought it was mostly conservatives. Most furries just want to be happy and make friends (at least fursuit furries) and to “bring out their inner animal”?
Furries are, by vast vast majority, queer.
Mocking furries is a socially acceptable form of queerphobia.
That’s why furry hate is so appealing to conservatives.
And because furries are, as discussed above, an easy target in other ways, even other queer people join in on the mockery as a quick and easy way to prove they’re not like those Weird Animal Queers.
The same kinds of logic are used for mocking furries as for mocking nonbinary people, and for the same reasons.
In fact, even this post, ostensibly in defense of furries, still manages to inadvertently equate a significant number of furries with being rapists and sex criminals. Because that’s how people are trained to perceive queers, and furries are mostly queer.
