Claiming it’s hollow without engaging with the argument I’m making is a lazy way to deflect from the need to reflect or rebut anything I’m saying

No, they’re not. This is lazy idiocy. You could take any human complaining about any thing they don’t like, replace the thing they actually don’t like with “Jew”, and scream they antisemitic. It’s a pathetic attempt to make anyone who doesn’t like anything look like a horrible monster.
The rhetorical cloth only seems to fit because you cut out the most important part and replaced it with something that would work for the picture you’re trying to paint. It is hollow.

Being a furry isnt about fucking animals, but you’re saying its about beasitiality
Being gay or trans isn’t about fucking kids, but homophobes say it is.
You are leaping from the thing that makes you uncomfortable to a moral argument that isnt actually supported by the thing you’re critiszing.
The arguments have exactly the same flaw. And the fact you can make any critisism into antisemitism doesnt mean that you just shouldn’t engage with it when someone’s critisism is directly mirroring all the tropes of bigotry
Which to be clear, being a furry isnt a protected class or anything, its a subculture. But your “deviancy” argument is literally just exactly word for word what people say about queer folks complete with the exact same foundational flaw
