That's probably why, actually. Unfortunately, most people only know about the extreme cases of wierdos in the fandom, because they're the ones that stand out. My cousin hates furries because there's a group of furs in his high school that are totally off the wall with their furriness at the school, and they tend to piss people off on purpose by barking, growling, sniffing, etc... wear collars and tails and ears TO SCHOOL and just be all out totally freakish. Thus, people get the impression that all furs are like that and start to hate them. The other side are people who hear about furs second hand and what Furs like and do. Bad news travels a lot better than good news. This is widely known... Thus, all the wierd fetishes, fur pile parties, fursuit sex, doll ********, etc... is what they know about. News ads on strange people who wear fursuits and molest innocent bystanders when a furcon is going on is frequent. (Probably some a*****e who hates furries, so he got in a fursuit and started doing crazy s**t to piss people off to give furs more bad rep.) So, in response, people tend to dislike furs because they don't really know what's going on. I'm in the military. Because of the bad reputation of furries from bad news traveling, it's practically part of the "Don't ask don't tell" policy not to let anyone know you're a furry. It's just as bad as admitting you're gay or a member of the KKK to the admiral, and liable to get you kicked out... It sucks, but that's life. I hear a lot about people disliking furries cause "they're ******** wierd", and I can't say anything about it because it's a military work place... I doubt it'll get any better, and I foresee a sort of civil war in the world somewhere because of it eventually. Not during MY lifetime, but it'll happen some day in the future, no doubt... On the bright side, within the fur fandom, the ratio of people that are actually really cool and fun to hang out with is far greater than the ratio of non-furs in the world being that way. Thus, I tend to like hanging out with civilian friends who are furs a damn lot more than anyone else.
Anyways... that's just what I've noticed...
BTW, this is in fact a topic that can be posted in the main discussion forum. Don't need to have it in random chat. ^^

Felix The Feline Ninja sweatdrop That really is a good question. I never understood why some people hate furries, and I never understood why some furs over do it. Though it pains me to talk about my kin, people over do things. But I agree, most furs aren't outgoing, so when people see the ones that are OVERLY go getters, they tend to use that as a target towards hate. I had a conversation with a friend of mine who though furries were just people who dressed in suits. I laughed at him for a bit then explained it. He was cool with it ;3 I've already told my friends about my furriness. All but 1 was cool with it. I told the one to ******** off if he can't except who I am. >:3 This was not too long ago. Alot of them understand why I am, and others just don't care, they just accept it. But it does get lonely being the only Fur in my school. I even has my pics on myspace ^^ I rarely care what non-furs think about me.
Yea... sometimes I wish I would tell my friends I am a furry, but I know that a few of them wouldn't be so accepting, so I guess right now I am just taking the easy way out and not telling them.... sweatdrop
This is why I hate what the people that over do it have done to our image...
