The Internet hatred for furries always bothered me. I'm not into it, I think it's weird, but so what? I think BDSM is weird too, but we don't treat people into BDSM like we treat furries- as if they're some sort of disease. I've met a few working at sci-fi/comic cons over the years and they've always been really nice, decent people. They just have a kink. Lots of people have kinks.
I blame the astroturfing early on. The furry community never really overcame the weird allegations from their first major convention. It also doesn't help that people think furry is JUST a sexual thing.
Imma level with you chief: I would think it was less weird if it was JUST a sexual thing.
“I like to wear a cartoon animal suit when I go to the grocery”. —> weird, but you do you I guess.
“I get into some wild and depraved shit when I’m horny” —> me too buddy, me too.
