This thread is now about Furries, for some reason. Formerly: "So. Anonymous."

they are also, as a group, second only to satanists in their inability to take a joke at their expense.

You seem to have built your hateful opinion based false premises that the information contained in this thread reasonably clearly refutes.  I find it pretty pathetic that you're holding on to that prejudice anyway.    

Shadowfurry, you are demonstrating ITT why I don't like furries.

Don't go dumping your kink into an unrelated forum and then expect nobody to make fun of you. If you want your kink to be "accepted" without mockery or outright revulsion, keep it on a kink board or a furry board or whatever. You have no logical reason to expect it to go over with hugs and smooches on a Discordian board, any more than I would expect my penchant for fucking guys in the ass with double-ended dildoes to go over without negativity on one of my bead boards.

For that matter, I have been richly (and expectedly) mocked for it here as well, which I found funny, because really. Just really. IT'S A FUCKING DISCORDIAN BOARD.

Now quit your ridiculous little furry whining, furfag.

Eh, someone brought up furries and I brought my experiences to the discussion; that's hardly 'dumping my kink into an unrelated forum.'  Mine contributions are not the only information about furries in the thread either.  

 I barely qualify as a furry really.. I don't hang out in the community any more (though I have friends that do), I don't collect the art and I don't whack it to furry pr0n. But I'm new here, and testing out the boundaries a little - I was curious to see what tone the conversation would take, especially after bringing up something as taboo as zoophilia.  I must admit I'd expected somewhat better from people claiming to be subverting the dominant paradigm.  *shrug*  I'm not exactly stunned though.

I'm not in to the insulting people for fun thing myself - I think its pretty childish really, and claiming you're 'enlightening' people is a pretty sad excuse.  I'm not a big fan of hatred either; though I understand it works for some people I've never seen the point.

Overall I seem to have changed a few opinions so I'm reasonably happy with the results.  As for the unreasoning hatered from some - Meh.  Fuck 'em.  

Give hate a chance. It's just as intense as love. It's much easier to fall into. And it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg when it's over.

Beware rebound hate tho, it's never as satisfying.

I don't think you changed any opinions....
but i found the whole thing amusing...
the topic obviously pushes buttons.

I am going to set up a reclining chair in this thread, because this is going to get GOOD.

I've found this thread to be educational. I feel like I have a better understanding now of why people fursecute.

I also suspect that it's the attraction to being in a persecuted group that attracts some furries.

Come for the lulz
Stay for the fursecution.

[Golden Applesauce]

luckily, I don't care what a furry thinks of me.

especially one that hangs out with dogfuckers.

Have to agree with ECH.

While maybe not the lowest of the low, animal fuckers are way the fuck down there to me. Anyone who condones it is almost as sick as they are. Furries? Blech.

What's so bad about fucking animals?  Animals fuck animals.  Humans are animals with distended brain cases.
At the very least, explain how fucking an animal is worse than eating a hamburger.

Not into insulting people for fun? 

I don't think anyone has claimed that they were insulting people for fun in order to "enlighten" them.

I still hate furries on the basis that most furries are whiny dipshits.

I don't hate zoophiles, but they do gross me out on a fundamental level. A "That's not my species" sort of level. Ew.

What's wrong with a cat fucking a ferret?

Well, why don't they, then?

Well, why don't you, then?

o grandma what big teeth you have...

I'd just like to go on record and state that I have only ever insulted people for fun in order to have fun.

I wouldn't mind burying my dog in that.

I'm completely ok with jokes about furries - damn I've met some people you'd be hard-pressed not to burst out laughing at.  And/or run screaming from.

Mostly though I sought here to enlighten, since ignorance, especially hatred based on ignorance, irks me.

Amusingly, the reaction that I'm "being defensive" or whatnot reminded me a lot of the political discussions I'd been observing up until recently, where some Republitard would say something stupid about Obama and then react to people relating the correct facts of the mater by claiming they were "overreacting" and that they "had to defend The Messiah".

Is that in response to everyone, because I don't see anything furry as tangibal, its an unreal excape of fantasy with no meaning, nothing to be too concerned about.
I would wager that peoples negativity comes from the characteristics of the people they have encountered describing themselves as furries, having some of the worst characteristics of other communities, say gamers (elietism), gays (persecution/ backbiting and eleitism amounst their own), shallow commercialist materialism.
and of course the more pathetic of members with the escapist hatred of their own bodies displacing their upset in the form of needing to feel like something other then a human, which gives way to the perverts(laughable pornography that looks like it was drawn by rob liefield), and of course the fringes; pedophilia and bestiality.
