Why are you coming at furries?
In my experience, hatred of furries is just a proxy for queerphobia.

If you didn’t want to stay why do you care? It’s like getting preemptively banned from a furry group, they’re doing you a favor. 🤣

You’re really grasping at a reason to feel persecuted here. It’s just not an interest if mine.
I’m going to go ahead and block you now though. Have a nice day.

I’m not a furry, though I accept peoples right to be furries and think it’s a generally harmless interest that gets way more hate than it deserves.
I think furries just got nickelbacked. Is nickelback worse than, say, incubus or sum 41? Not objectively, but if I make a joke about a sum 41 community blocking someone, it’s confusing. Furries (and nickelback) are used as foils by people for “unpleasant media.”
That’s not fair to people who enjoy the medium nor is it fair to the talented and hardworking artists who create it, but it’s a cultural meme that’s going to be hard to stop.

i guess i would say i was more in the “discovering” phase. sort of seeing if i was interested but wanting to see what others thought to inform me. i got a total of one response tho and that was it :/
also i would feel bad if i got preemptively banned from a furry group? :( like what did i do to hurt them they are probably cool people !

I think you missed my point a little. If they want to ban me like that it’s probably best.

eh i guess. im down to give a little benefit of the doubt bc maybe its like one of those communities that are ultra specific with how you interact, like askouija or r9k
i think those are cool?
still waiting for someone to explain cuz this is all conjecture up to now 😭

You’re still not following though… If they do that it isn’t a place you should want to go to.
