Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries? (kbin.social)

I noticed that some people just have an extreme hatred for furries.
I have a friend and I would not call him a generally intolerant person at all, he knows I am homosexual and never cared unlike all other people I have ever told about that(around 6 people), but he has an extreme hatred for anything furry. Like on the level of "All furries should be killed" not the usual shit we can read on the internet.

I do not understand it, but there is really no way to get him to any not as extreme standpoint.

But because drawings of fursonae exist, rule 34 ensures that there is porn of them. Some people really like that kind of porn, unrelated to whether they're furries or not, and I believe it is those people the hate is directed at.

This would be my opinion. I'm neutral towards furries; I am not neutral towards the flood of porn that seems to make up the majority of my every (and often only) contact with the furry community and I'm honestly surprised that wouldn't be the obvious answer. Do I get to see how those suits are crafted? No, I've never seen that. Saw a tiger getting railed in an elevator yesterday, though.

It's really not doing me any favors in the fediverse right now. I shouldn't have to voluntarily search "yiff" every few days just to search for new things to preemptively block and I can't turn NSFW off, either, without banning myself from my own medical subs.

Those suits are incredibly expensive and they are trade secrets to the people who make them as they want to protect their market. Generally some people have them, and it may look like its the final goal of everyone in the community to own one of their character, but its not. Its a tiny amount of people who both want one and can effort the at least 20k€, like just a head costs around 5k€.

I see this as a general issue that magazines/communities can not be generally set as NSFW, only individual posts and people sometimes forget that. And you are not alone with that, I am also suffer from that because I would rather not see naked female ass in All. It is always something that annoys people if they see porn they do not like but do not pretend like you are the only one that is victim to that.

That makes a lot of sense now that you say it, but I'm still gonna be sad about it. I really like crafting videos these days.

You...can, though? I can with mine, anyway. Is that something only kbin can do right now, or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Not that it makes much of a difference for people who want more granular nsfw settings. Still really waiting on those, I think adding auto-tagging to submissions and then presenting the ability to filter by tag is a fantastic idea that would really solve a ton. I literally have to do the same with sports that I have to do for porn subs in order to get them out of my feed and they just keep proliferating every time someone subs to or spins up a new instance. I know past a certain point bitching about all topics being in All is dumb, but blocking doesn't accomplish as much as it should right now just due to the nature of the fediverse.

Admittedly, if you're someone who doesn't mind porn in All as long as it's your fetish, it would be easier to whitelist things at that point. There'd have to be a whole menu and everything, which I'm sure is doable. For furries, monster fuckers, etc., this would necessitate a "human porn" tag to enter wide use and I don't ever see that happening, so they and they alone are stuck blocking nsfw and subbing directly.

If, then its new, but the main community having adult furry content is using lemmy.

I generally do not want to see porn in All, neither human porn nor furry gay porn. It the one thing that does not belong in All. All is to learn about new content, and you are not gonna start to like furry gay porn and I am not going to start to like naked female ass. Porn is a individual thing and I believe everyone knows what he or she wants and follows the magazines/communities that offer that without having to discover it in all.
