So, exactly why is anything "furry" so frowned upon?

just like i said in another forum
we humans(some)are afraid of change! its just the way we think

there will always be people that a furrie is always a xrated thing or is just wrong for some reason or anthere but there is nothing wrong with being a furrie i feel we are no diffrent then anyone else except for a outward apperance.

Some people hate furries because they hear the worse of furry-related things most of the time.
Like humans having s** with an animal and stuff.
People love to hear the bad in life because many think it is exciting, and so the bad spreads more than the good. ( which of course goes for furries, since most people only know the bad )

Yet, whenever I speak about things like this in my school, people never question me much. So alot of my friends know I am a furry and learn to deal with it.
Sadly, many people only listen to the bad.
Everything is criticised ( however u spell it ) by someone for some reason, and it will always be like that.

even mankind is yelled at by some.


Thats what I think, at least.

furries just get bad press, mostly the elitist furries or the odd ones, sad thing is, they dont see the average every day normal furries who act like every other person, they just happen to like anthropomorphic creatures and it can either be sexually or not

Its like the new homosexuality-allmost.
not understood and disturbs some people. There is becoming steriotypes and bad info on it wich makes it worse.

It never ceases to grate on my nerves this mentality of treating being a fur like being a gay.

Anime fans don't feel the need to have a "coming out".
Neither do Trekkies, or gamers. It's because they understand it's just a side thing, a hobby really. They don't collectively run around trying to force everyone to accept them for being part of a fan group.

Furries need to learn from them. They need to stop treating furry as their identity and stop treating it like a sexuality. They need to stop entertaining this notion of "coming out".

Are you a furry? Great. Keep it to yourself and to those who are into it. Don't flaunt it or force into the faces of the general populace by instigating a "coming out" thing.

On a way it is though
no one here ((I hope)) forces it apon people
what about trekkies, runnign aorund dong the live long and prosper to everyone, or wearing the shirts?

is it so bad to flaunt your love for fus by weairng a pair of cat ear ((Or whatever species you are)) and just walking in the tow, not in someones face?

the wa I se what you said, us Furries should just be furs n private

and I do not know any frs that force anyone! when I met a fur at school he tol me he was a fur and was about to go on his way, not forc me to be furry

I stopped him, he didnt stop me


of course thats what I intepated form your post, sorry if I mis interprated  

[CodyDudeTm]

Well, ya'know, it's not okay to flaunt it. But what about furries that just like to wear the stuff? Enjoy wearing it, not to flaunt it?  

[LunaFoxxx]

To me there are different versions of flaunt
1.Wear the stuff
2. HEY GUYS LOOK AT THIS!
3. hmm, what do you think?
I would do number one
