Solid reason, but bad execution.

kinda like seeing semana santa and beating up people for looking like klansmen? sure the similarity is there but it’s a high tier of being dumb as fuck. Who the fuck hasn’t heard of furries in this day and age?

I could see Greece being pretty sheltered from niche internet communities. I think furries go against their state religion (which has say in their education and media)

That plush wolfie must have experienced a big ouchie.

Ultranats should not be allowed to lay claim on wolf symbolism! Wolves are cool.

To be fair, the overlap is substantial.

There are Nazi furries but they’re ostracized from the rest of the community and banned from most cons/gatherings that aren’t run by them.
They’re only well-known because we don’t like them, and their inflammatory stuff goes viral in our spaces, and sometimes they hit escape velocity, getting exposed to the wider internet.
In reality like 85-90% of furs are left-wing to various degrees, and LGBTQ.

“What is truth?” The only thing that matters in terms of establishing a group’s (very much permanent) reputation is what percolates to the general cultural zeitgeist of people who don’t know what the word hypertext means. When the insular furry communities of the Y2K era kicked out the weird freaks who were actively hostile to the ideas of kink consent, consent in general, and non-white people continuing to draw breath, they descended on 4chan and SomethingAwful and various other forums and pretty much instantly solidified the unsuspecting public’s idea of furries as being creepy Nazis. It’s not fair, but you only get one shot at establishing an eternal reputation and it’s more or less completely out of your control.

I know many a furry. Most of them are perfectly average people who happen to have a "hobby" on the side (putting the word hobby in quotes as it is more of a lifestyle/identity, but these people don't make being a furry their entire identity), some of them are sexual deviants/freaks (nothing wrong with that mind you!), and a handful few are quite extreme when it comes to the topic...
You know what none of them are? Hateful, bigoted, fascists, or Nazis.
And honestly, I'd much sooner be friends with a wholesome dude who happens to enjoy getting fisted on stage by a dozen guys every weekend than someone who tries to commit a dozen hate crimes every weekend...

Sure, so they aren’t the lunatics shitposting all day. I made another comment expanding on it but in brief, whether it’s fair or not (and it’s not), the kind of furries most people came across during the reputation-forming years were the extremely strident ones who actively enjoyed making people hate them, and it stuck.

that’s some next-level delusion you got going on there.

Ask we how I know you got bad grades in textual criticism
Korne127@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What the fuck? Furries are the most left-leaning queer subgroup imaginable
pimento64@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
What’s that got to do with the weirdos who gave them a bad reputation 25+ years ago? This is what happens when you skim instead of reading.

For the last time - the ones you should be beating up are the Führerries!

That poor furry DIDN’T deserve to get beaten up - what’s their name?

Better to absolutely fuck over an innocent than to risk letting someone who believes the wrong thing to go unfucked over.

Deranged.

I know right this was more a test. I got wildly piled on for even suggesting caution last time.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I’ve gotten comments about the various far right wolves and dogs organizations as if they defined all furries. They’re ruining it for the rest of the kin.
It isn’t the first time a subdemographic’s reputation extends inappropriately to the rest of the group.
Mcf0603@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think the furry part was justified enough. Animals can’t consent.
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Do… You know what a furry is? Zooaphilies are a different thing.
To insinuate they are the same is like saying everyone who has sex is a pedophile. It’s nonsense.
Mcf0603@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Evey who gets off to animals… Is a zoophile.
DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Liking anthropmorphic characters is NOT the same as being a zoophile. Seriously!
Mcf0603@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Getting off to animals is zoophilia. Its disgusting.

Don’t go beating up random people. That’s why the state has monopoly on violence
fonix232@fedia.io 1 month ago
Remember, it's always okay to punch a Nazi! That's the only education they understand.

Until we meet again!
^But also remember, you first have to make sure they're a Nazi, then the beating can commence^
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I don’t think this random furry was a nazi though…
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Although I already disagree with the first part, this is where it gets pretty difficult in most cases unless somebody unmistakeably calls themselves a Nazi.
TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Yeah the state never beats up the wrong people
slappyfuck@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
I mean, you’re not wrong lol! But at least it is supposed to go through a proper procedure with the state.

Except for nazis maybe, which this person was mistaken for

Get the state outta here
