No.
We suffer real crimes, I could be murdered for who I love in large swathes of the world.
Furries are not LGBT adjacent, furries are closer to paedophilia/necrophilia/etc in that it’s an unhealthy attraction.
Unhealthy designated by you, the puritan police? Do you know that the anti-LGBT people also consider being gay unhealthy? They're drawing the line in a different place, but still playing the same role you are. Would you recommend shock therapy for furries, or is that just a cure for being gay? If you're so concerned with how the furry fandom works you should maybe actually research your bigotry and learn that it's massive, and no two furries express themselves in the same way. Many do not have overlapping interests at all. You are on the fediverse, so I'd suggest you get comfortable with the idea that people are allowed to exist without your permission.
Furries by nature are either attracted to animal aesthetics or think they are one.
That is not healthy, accept it.
That is again not even close to a correct definition, and it is interesting that you think yourself the best person to judge something that you don't know the first thing about.
Sure buddy 👍
Giving up when facing any opposition seems like you never really intended on improving your worldview. You just want to be hateful of things that you don't understand. The irony of you thinking that those who oppose the LGBT are any different is not lost on me. It's easy to punch down on things that you don't personally like, but those are real people that you're targeting with your malice. I'm not a furry, but I am gay, and as an LGBT member yourself you should understand the power of being an ally to a minority that often gets painted in a bad light. Doubly so when ~80% of furries are LGBTQIA+ in the first place; it's an LGBT subculture.
You’re not opposing me, you’re just advocating for some fucked up shit that the world would be a better place for if people got help.
I’m sorry but just the same as any other harmful attraction, I cannot condone this one either.
It is repeatedly hilarious that you pretend that these arguments are any different than the ones homophobes are using. What is the harm, exactly?
In attraction to animals? That should be self explanatory.
In delusional fantasies? Rejection of basics of reality.
You keep using the word "animal", but anthropomorphic cartoons are not real animals. Attraction to real animals is not what being a furry is. (You already know this, you are using the term in a loaded way in order to say one thing but mean another) (this unfortunately does not convince anyone).
There's nothing inherent to being a furry that demands a "delusional fantasy" (you would know this if you knew what furries are). You call yourself Deceptichum and have a transformers avatar - you may be at risk of being in a "delusional fantasy" if that's how you want to classify the people with anonymous names and furry avatars!
So where is the part where the "world is a worse place" because of furries?
