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

[BADGE OF HONOR]

Also, "Hate the sin, but love the sinner" appears nowhere in the Bible and I bet Mr. YDobbs cannot identify the "famous person" who supposedly said it.

Mormons say that as an reason to drive gay people to suicide instead of just accepting them as they are.

Gay men are just gay because they don't have the social skills to hook up with chicks.

But surely you knew that already. 

[hooplala]

No, it's because they love cock.

I think that's what the indicates. But perhaps I'm biased because I made that smiley.

I don't know what that smile indicates. Looks like a stonefaced stare of death with a crown.

didnt someone important once say hate the sin not the sinner?

Nobody cares what Moses or Solomon or whoever said about shit.

Besides, in this case, it is not the "sin" of masturbating in an animal costume that I hate, it's the PEOPLE who like to do it.

So why do you hate those people? I mean, I'm really curious... it seems like a BiP bar for most of us, but I can't seem to find any rational reason for it being there.

Joking, man.

For the most part, people who are into furry sex are probably not people I'd hang out with, and I certainly have no compunction about making fun of them, but I don't HATE them, I was just riffing off of Cramulus' "Don't hate the disease, hate the PEOPLE with the disease" line.

So you probably wouldn't hang out with people that like furry sex... would you hang out with people that are into S&M? What about Cosplay?

I'm not being pro-furry here... I'm really just trying to figure out why they seem so universally bagged on... don't get me wrong, I've made fun of furries for years... it's an old pastime at Marcon (spring Con in Columbus). Yet, I've got two friends that always seemed rather sane and normal, who have said that they're furries. They have a social life, they have 'normal' relationships... and they also like to look at furry art and one of them likes to dress up in costumes three or four times a year.

I'm not gonna pretend to understand why cartoon animal costumes get them off... but I can't seem to figure out why its such a taboo among otherwise open minded individuals. It's not just here, they seem universally reviled by most of the groups of people I hang out with. Yet, no one has been able to pin down any sort of reason for this singled out sort of behavior.

If they were actually fucking real animals, I think I'd understand it a lot better. Apparently though, there's not really any correlation between them.

The original concept for "King of Meh" was a request to have and combined into one, though I'm not sure what the original intended usage was. I see it being used mostly to indicate either self-deprecation or to mock someone else. In other words, it indicates that someone is the king of a particular variety of lame.

Example 1: "I admit that the only 'literature' I read is pulp fantasy fiction. "

Example 2:
Spag: "Guys, I know Prop 8 is generally seen as a bad thing, but maybe it's for the best that California decides for itself, y'know?"
Anti-spag: " "

...Did I seriously just write an exposition on the meaning of a particular smiley, complete with examples?
I need to spend more time away from the internets.

[Kai]

Yes. It was helpful.

I've always taken  to mean a look of stonefaced dissaproval, a look that says "are you really THAT stupid?"

Some o you youngins may not remember this, but back in my day, we had this stuff called "sarcasm". That's what that was.

It was a reference to her statement:

Furries are into sexy animals because they don't have the social skills to make it with normal humans.  Again, fuck em.

I was just pointing out through the magic of "sarcasm" that lots of people think the same thing about gay men. (Not gay women, though. Gay women are gay because everyboddy loves tittay.)

My theory is that furriphobes want to be homophobes, but they can't because it isn't "cool" in their culture to be a homophobe so they use furriphobia as a surrogate activity.

I dunno why I chose kingmeh. A better expression would have been more like the one given to Weird Al by Emo Phillips in the movie UHF after Weird Al says "table saw".

Maybe you could have quoted the original post for context, because that post is not on this page and there is no context nearby for what you are talking about.

[Bruno]

Yes, that would have been better. I was grumpy and incoherent at the time due insomnia.

[the last yatto]

i think its more akin to people mock what they dont understand either out of fear
or out of curiousity

No, it's not that furriness creeps me out so much that I wouldn't hang out with someone cool BECAUSE they were a furry, it's that most of the people I've known who are furfags are NOT COOL. Not even the kind of marginal, extremely nerdy/dorky/geeky/gay "cool" that I'm into, which is not at all "cool" by many people's standards. I'm sure that if I ever met a cool furry that I liked, I would hang out with them.

S&M - lots of people I like are into that scene to some degree or another.
Cosplay - not so many, but a few. I can't help laughing at it, though.

Furries tend to verge on "otherkin" and "vampires", though, in terms of the people who are attracted to it. I would have to say that I am more likely to want to hang out with the sort of people who are into AB than the sort of people who are into furry, just based on a generalization about the personalities who tend to be into each. Individuals may vary etc. etc.
