I like to think that I am a tolerant person most of the time. However, I have been unable to suppress my disgust and loathing for furries. I think all people should be safe from discrimination, except furries. edit: since some people are upset, I will clarify that that last sentence was a joke, (a bad one) and that all people are entitled to rights and to be free of discrimination, etc... and I'm sure that furries are perfectly good people. However, I think that making a sexual fetish, (which is what it seems to me) an integral part of your identity, and actively broadcasting it all the time, is cringy and embarassing. That's all. I have the right to think that about other people.

  That's pretty mean.

    Well, I'm being facetious. I read the post and the author seems to be a good person and intelligent. I just think furries are gross. I would still be friends with one.

      What about furries do you associate with grossness?

        I've edited my post with my actual opinion.

  You're free to express your own revulsion, of course. And so do furries have the rights of free speech and free expression.

  No, this is not good think, this leads to discrimination and hate. I am not a furry but I know some IRL and they are nice, good people with private activities that are different that yours. Let it go and don’t worry yourself what persona anonymous folks wanna project. Have fun.

    Oh shit, you're the author... Alright, I've read the links and I'm willing to change my mind and accept that this is a more complicated topic that I thought and that being a furry isn't inherently sexual. I'm sorry.

  Do you know any furries? Where does the disgust come from?
- fennecs 6y ago
  Feel what you will, but if they aren’t affecting you, there is no need to interact and discriminate. Just let them get on with it. Back peddling claiming it is just a joke is no excuse. Adjust your attitude. Someone looking through your comments and seeing anime watcher might make the same comment about you.
