On one hand, this has got to be public trolling. On the other, it’s still a bill calling for a classification of people to be removed from society. If it weren’t so scary it would be funny.
Fascism demands outlandish “enemies” in order to justify punishment as policy. Usually, no suitable ones exist, so they are created through outlandish fantasy.
This is a weird amount of preoccupation to have with a subculture of mostly queer people who just watched too much Disney and read too much Warrior Cats or Animorphs as kids.
In general furries embrace their cringe and are unashamed of the stuff they enjoy, can’t say I see anything near as wholesome from the company you keep when you’re hand wringing about sexual degenerates that should be banned from schools.
So, sometimes I pretend to be a wizard and roll some dice about it. If one of my players showed up in armor it’d be badass. It’s a hobby. Few things are more cringe than furry hate.
Bullshit. That’s the same shit used against drag queens and crossdressers. People who were instrumental to lgbtq history. I’d have thought someone “not straight” would’ve known better.
And neither do most furries. It’s like saying gamers are fucked up because they wanna fuck Lara Croff and cosplay Let Me Solo Her. The weirdest parts of a community aren’t the only parts, or even the biggest parts. Plenty of furries just like watching Looney Tunes and Zootopia and making OCs.
The furries=sexual deviants line was what they once said about Trekkies, and it was as true then as it is now.
Put way better than I could say it, thank you. As somebody who’s been on the edge of that community for years as an artist, the hatred they get has always baffled me.
I can even agree that for a lot of cartoony media, depicting people as animals can give it a really cool/cute style. A lot of people have fond memories of reading the Redwall books, which took that to a logical and mature extension. But, having close association to all of the sexual stuff is where it gets bizarre and unlikable.
I’ll even go out on a limb; I really enjoyed Lauren Faust’s My Little Pony series. I thought there was some fun, inventive writing humor, good VA, and smooth animation; for a time. But there’s undeniably a ton of people that made obsession with that series really weird.
Non-furries love anthropomorphic animal characters. Our culture is full of them; all cultures are. Furries didn’t invent sports mascots, Looney Tunes, the Easter Bunny, Aesop’s fables, or the Egyptian pantheon. Obviously it’s not the appreciation for talking animals that people actually hate. So why is it that, out of all the weird subcultures that exist, the one that gets the most hate thrown at it is the one centered around a love of something universal to all human cultures?
It’s because the founders of the modern furry fandom were gay and poly, and the fandom has always had an overwhelmingly LGBT membership because it used to be the only non-fetish community that openly accepted gay and trans people. All anti-furry hate is either a negative reaction to the fandom’s queerness or a deliberate attempt to attack the LGBT community by proxy.
I’m sorry but the only way I can describe that perspective is “delusional”. First of all, I’m going to point out that by starting your conclusion with “All furry hate”, you’ve already revealed that you’re simply here to make generalizations instead of to be accurate. Nearly no statement that starts with “all”, “none”, “every”, etc. about such a large group (furry haters) is even worth considering.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way: No, people don’t hate furries because they’re LGBT. Most people know nothing about the movement or its founders, and don’t care to. People dislike the furry community because:
Fursuits look weird. Mascots and the easter bunny fall into this category too. Non-fursuit anthropomorphic animals (eg. Looney Tunes) are generally well-regarded, even somewhat if they’re from the furry community.
Someone told them about yiff or showed them a vore picture and now they hate all furries.
Their primary interactions with furries lead them into direct contact with “the weird kids” aka assorted cringy 12 year olds. Any community with a significant number of preteens will have this same repulsive effect on older teenagers and young adults, or even other preteens. See also: Fortnite, Skibidi Toilet, FNAF to some extent, Roblox, etc.
That’s it. There’s no grand anti-lgbt conspiracy. Furries are just weird. If you want, I have access to a discord server that’s like 60-70% queer and I can make a google form to prove this.

it’s both fucking insane and scary. remember that furry hate has always been thinly veiled homophobia

HEY i resemble that remark.
You can not be homophobic and have similar thoughts on a subject with a group that is.
Very little has a strictly black and white separation in this world, it’s all shades of grey.
Go tell that to uranium
Gays. Black people. Non Christians. Your exact statement has been said about all of them.
Saying something is fucked up has been said about a lot of things. I’m sure there’s someone who’s said it’s fucked up to put pineapple on a pizza.
Also you do realise those are things people are born as? Whereas no furry was born a non-human.
The fact you would even compare them is a a revile as 4Chan trolls trying to link “maps” to LGBT.
Furries don’t think they’re non human hon.
Furrys don’t claim they’re actually animals.

The key difference being you’re playing a game.
If one of your players showed up wearing a fedora, hentai body pillow, and hadn’t bathed in 7 days would you still be as happy?
Bullshit. That’s the same shit used against drag queens and crossdressers. People who were instrumental to lgbtq history. I’d have thought someone “not straight” would’ve known better.
You’d be surprised. I’ve even encountered a lot of gay people who are against the ‘T’ or the ‘BT’ in LGBT.
Being gay certainly makes you more likely to be progressive, but I’ve learned it definitely doesn’t guarantee it.
Plenty of gay people are regressive, hateful fuckwits.
Sexuality and gender are not the same as an animal.
Don’t compare them.

… Hey, how bad are your delusions that you think chocolate is people?
TIL religion is an immutable personal characteristic
Nobody is born religious, therefore everyone is born non-Christian.
True, but it’s obviously different from race, sex, etc. It’s closer to nationality, because it affects your upbringing but can change over time.

You don’t like Bugs Bunny?
I don’t want to fuck Bugs Bunny or be him.
I like pizza, I’m not a Pizza-ie.
And neither do most furries. It’s like saying gamers are fucked up because they wanna fuck Lara Croff and cosplay Let Me Solo Her. The weirdest parts of a community aren’t the only parts, or even the biggest parts. Plenty of furries just like watching Looney Tunes and Zootopia and making OCs.

Idk man that doesn’t quite sound like hate to me. More of a sting dislike. I think the point still stands.
