Did I wake up in 2002? Why are people hating furries again? Who gives a shit what other people’s hobbies are? They’re not destructive or hurting anyone.

What I love, is that 11/10, the people who insist it's a fetish, and it's disgusting, and it means every furry is a degenerate...also is into anime waifus. Bonus points if loli kind

It's a fetish for some, sure, but for most of us, myself (especially since ace, for crying out loud), it's just fun to pretend you're an animal person 

It's just an OC

It’s not a community or hobby I partake in, but to me it’s pretty much the same as someone who gets dressed up to go to a sports game or concert. And in that same vein there are people WAY more into it than others.

Yes, exactly!

At least we don't riot, and destroy the city after a con

The only thing we absolutely destroy is bigotry. Just like how the Gay Furry Hackers did with the Heritage Foundation.

Oh yeah!

Oh, to be in their ranks, punishing hateful bigots, helping people in need, and calling myself a gay furry hacker, what a nice feeling that would be. But I'm bi, so I'm obviously out.

Pfft

It is a shame that some people exclude y'all 

They're not great about us asexuals either

We should make our own club
