I was in a Rec Center hanging out and some people were arguing about if LGBTQ and Furrys are good or bad and these people starting saying that all of these normal people should start hurting themselves and committing die even though when I asked them what they have done to them and they said that they were weird but that’s all they have done nothing but get so much hate I had to report all of them for Threats and Encouraging Suicide. What do y’all think please do come up with bull crap reasons and be honest do you hate these people and if you do thy
#What’s the deal with so many people hating Furrys

I'm not a furry or lgbtq myself but I think they're ok
People just find problems with anything tbh even things that aren't a problem unfortunately.
Shaded ur gone
Okay and?
Cause we live in a world where people have to hate someone. If they can't hate based on skin color, religion or gender without getting some sort of ban, then they can hate on something else they don't understand. Some groups of people get a bad rep due to stereotypes that are propagated throughout the world based off a few incidents. This can be seen in the news and social media alike. A rare case of something that is bad can happen to 0.001% of the population and the news will make it look like 70% of all people face this situation. I don't want to bring specific subjects into the conversation, but you can see it everywhere, and I mean literally everywhere. You read something that X is doing ABC in one place, they are doing BCA in another and all along, when you look into it, they were actually doing DEF and everyone made their own story out of it. There is always going to be issues when it comes to small groups not conforming to the social norms. The best you can do is ignore it, report the situation when you have removed yourself from the situation and live your life the way you want to live it. Just don't expect everyone else to conform to your lifestyles and just control what you can control, yourself.
Jesus Dave
🏆 Here Dave you need it
yes W dave
me personally i dont hate anyone
furries are fine but some are really weird and do really weird things i hate those type of furries not the normal ones tbh
what?
Furry community is too sexualized, would be nice if they toned it down but everything else is fine
That would make the most sense
Omg I finally found a place to vent a bit so I like rr militaries (Cringe I know) but I am terrified to join any military events because its either I get banned when I join or there's atleast one person absolutely destroying the CoC just because I like Cute Animal guys. Sorry i just had to get it out
I mean the whole point of a military is to hate others
Like the US and the middle east but it's all 6 year olds
Well here in ireland our military isn't even called the military there called the Óglaigh na hÉireann or peace keepers of Ireland. Just what I'm trying to say it makes me feel wrong for just being a furry but I know it's not wrong
Like I had a anti furry friend me just it say that he was good a kill furrys I just responded with sure bud and then blocked him
Furries will always be hated
However there are a ton of furry communities in recroom
And there are some basic military games that don't look at furries and perm ban them straight away
However of course most of them perm ban
Yeah furries were completely villianised and the people usually only look at the bad stuff and the when the furries do something good nobody looks. as a furry from what I've see is yes the Community is definitely over ||Sexualised|| and it is a problem but every Community has that problem but nobody cares or listen, its just furry bad and that's it. As the quote in my RR bio says I try and show that not all furrys are bad just nobody listens
I hate furrys, but doing that? Na, leave em be
?
How come you don't have the member role
They hate them because either it's cool or because everyone else hates them. I've always gotten the same response when I've asked about vr couples and the like, to this day people have never given me a valid argument for either groups.
All I'm going to say, is that vr couple are idiots. I'm not going to explain why as it would spawn a swarm if replies and arguements.
The only problem I have with furries is that they shove it in your face same with the lgbtq community I don't hate them I just don't like it when its the only thing they talk about like I be having A normal conversation and then "Yea because I'm gay" like I did not ask nor do I care. I would say I'm about 11% furry and no more no less. Its just everywhere and I would like to go one day without hearing the word gay or furry because no just do not care. Be what you want and do what you want with your life but all I ask of you is that I do not know about it.
When have we done that
How are you 11% furry
Ok, but dont act like them hettys dont go "Well but im straight" when someone says anything remotely gay
Exactly
Furries are cool when they're not zoos or anything, but that depends on the person
I don't mean all of you
They're not a zoo because they're a furry, They're a zoo because they're a zoo.
Not that you said that - But its most peoples arguments
Ohh, I see
bro I just typed an essay to a relpy to senators comment and it just got booted 🙄
Oh damn
Im not typing that again
Give a summary?
Basically what I said was that I am one but I am not a fucking idiot like the other people
I watch who I trust
to QUADRUPLE check them
Hmm
Because if something is “not normal”, it is hated.
I also said that I see why he thinks that and understand his opinion
This
And they mean not normal in there terms
How is it not normal though, Its.. cosplayers
No this
Furries draw nsfw, not because they're a furry, but because they draw nsfw
I also said that I am not just VR
It's the same for everything else
Because it is a new-er thing. Its like the LGBTQ+ community. We have all been following “rules” for years, and now that people want to be different and love who they want to love, people like to be stubborn and argue and make fun of what they think is “wrong”
True
Furries aren't bad people. Nor do they present themselves that way.
It is society that has printed them a bad image
Like I said.
Exactly
This too
Everyone has a good person inside of their soul even death row criminals most of those people have been corrupted by society
and pressured to do this kinda stuff
to hate others
its a phenomenon I like to call Child Scars
Its just a bunch of wounds and negative emotions from their parents being abusive maybe even nosy and yell alot. Their inner child is scarred leaving a wounded child for the rest of their life
Mhm
||because im gay
||
True true. Basically people just find reasons to hate at this point it's sad tho and society plays a huge role in this too
in other words society sucks.
@vital quest yep
ye
uwu
uwu
🤓
People spamming UwU is pretty damn stupid though
Stop acting "cute" and speak normally 🥱🥱🥱
Or at least just be understandable
Agreed
Speak normally and not be annoying with it
The main problem here is alot of the people who "despise" furries have never actually seen, met or interacted with one. They mostly just see all the posts on Reddit or whatever saying that they are bad and follow along to be "based"
I myself am not a furry but I don't see why people act like they are the bane of existence
furries dont really say uwu the only people who say uwu now are usually kids trying to be funny
Has keddie not seen a furry
¯_(ツ)_/¯
mate i got fricken warned for asking this question too. about a half a year later than i posted it
The mods don’t like anyone who dare voice the slightest sentiment that could be construed as being anti furry
I got my first warning by mentioning that the furries invaded invention tower
fark really?
geeze...
man, thats childish moderation right there. i think it was about 4 months ago i posted that.
Yeah but someone dug down and revived it, and then proceeded to tag a mod so the topic was on the top of the forum for awhile
Kinda funny when you think about it. Aren’t you a furry?
i honestly am not sure. i hang out with em. make stuff like WH. but don't see myself as a furry. so idk.
maybe its cause im straight XD
i was told straight furries are a rarity
Well word of advice, from an outsider who got a chance to see it from the inside: You’re better off remaining associated with the furry fandom than actually part of it
thats true, i enjoy vibing around different areas and places.
oh shit, Random thing to mention, but. just brought myself a Good ol Steel
Barbrute helm
this bad boy is said to be shipped on November
Pretty dope
aye lad, if its made of actual steel, im making sure to look well after this ordiment
You thinking of starting a collection?
hahah no no.
just something i can keep for my lifetime.
(though knowing me i may make a collection out of it)
If it’s a furry who barks or crawls on the ground or if they actually think they are an animal then they are stupid but if they just want do dress up as an animal it’s fine
And I respect lgbtq
But I don’t really support it
Good, not good. Either way, they're still human. Only thing is, they pretend to be something they're not for God-knows-what reasons. Furries have existed for decades due to anthropomorphic animals on media (from Winnie the Pooh to Lola Bunny), and within that time span, about 70% of the LGBTQ+ became furries, and about 30% remained straight so we associate the gays to be furries more. It's not about who a person is, it's about what they do that defines them. Their morals, motives, etc. Specifically, their willpower to go on a level of extremism that no human should ever go is what makes society hate them so much. There are some members out there that are a part of one or both communities that also wish they, them included, didn't exist because they make their communities look like mentally-ill scum from their "personas" alone. It's an identity crisis of both worlds, and not even their supporters can escape the madness, so they just get used to that, AND the hate they don't deserve. If I'm gonna be real here, those people are probably more homophobic and anthropophobic than the straights are because of that cursed equality they have towards them. That's my answer to your question, take it as you will. I'm going to bed.
i mean yeah furries hav existed for a long time basically jus a hobby and sometimes similar to cosplay. And I have seen people from the furry community and lgbtq+ community (sometimes both at the same time argue) and some that aren't from neither. It honestly just depends on the person if they decide to be against furries/homophobic but either way the hate shouldn't exist no
basically it's just other case of people being upset at others for who they are and what they enjoy.
I couldn't agree more, that could be for any honestly from race, genders, gangs, and even religious cults, speaking on the bigger societal groups, even in Rec Room. It always depends on the individuals, and not the communities as a whole. I choose to love people individually because they are not like the stereotypical person they are assumed to be in the community itself. In other words, I may not like the community, but I may like you. I could dislike all my family members, and love one or two people because they're real ones. Just depends.
exaaactly dude. people should judge others based on the person they are not who are what they like and yeah the very last example is so relatable. the problem is that stereotypes are made by the hate so people just decide to go only on that even if they know nothing else about it
this is a problem with pretty much anything: race, genders, communities, and even hobbies but unfortunately that's just people for you. They hate on things even if they don't understand it.
I didn’t start having problems with the furry community until I got to see them up close and learn about them
i mean sure, there's plenty of bad apples but that goes for any community as well
but if you decide to harass the person then that's a different story..
But how many bad apples before we decide “hey maybe this apple tree isn’t worth it”?
the same could be said for the anime community lol
or literally ANY fandom
forget fandoms tho there's just so many bad people in general
i dealt with many people and many fandoms so I've seen a lot. But bullying someone over what they enjoy is just petty and does nothing
if they're a bad person hate them for that. It makes less sense to hate them if they're one of the chill ones too
I suppose, but that shouldn’t be a shield for general scrutiny. If they display their over fixation in a public forum, than it’s unreasonable to expect that no one ridicules them
It’s like if you have a really bad haircut. Sure you’re probably a great guy, but someone is going to laugh about you behind your back
it is but that's not that person's fault. If they show that they enjoy smth that's actually really harmless and others get triggered about it then that's on those people not the one enjoying themselves.
I wouldn’t say the furry community is harmless
yeah but there's a difference between laughing inside and just going over to laugh at their face lmaoo
The difference is the anonymity of the internet
being a furry is relatively harmless, as it's just a hobby but if people decide to be disgusting and do things then call themselves a furry then on them not on the hobby alone
drawing isn't necessarily a problem but yet there's SO many people that's toxic even in the art community, same for anime and music too. pretty much anything
It’s beyond toxicity. Deeply engrained within the modern furry community is an overt sexuality that is inescapable. In a community that is often emotionally immature, more often than not the damages of involving minors in the community go unrecognized
that's true same for anime as there's plenty of people just sexualizing even doing so to minors, and the mlp fandom as well. but like i said any fandom is toxic and can endanger others some more toxic than others sure and that type of behavior should be put out into light. The other thing is that the "bad side" is usually more louder and attracts more attention
so people thing every single one in the fandom is bad when it isn't the case
you can find people that are chill in pretty much any fandom but the louder side which is usually the toxic ones makes people think they're all like that and even afraid to interact
i can't fully blame them half the time but i do if they decide to harass someone that they don't know that did nothing
There’s different levels of enjoyment of media. You have the basic levels like “being a fan of anime” and “being a fan of animated movies” and then you have extreme levels like “wearing henta sweaters in public” and “posting furry nsfw”. Yet no one seems to defend the Henta sweater people, but the Nsfw is just pat for the course
yeah that's definitely a problem 💀
I only have a problem with people posting nsfw if kids can easily get to it
if they can/are involved then that's disgusting.
same thing for wearing henta anyone can see it including children that's disgusting asf.
It’s astoundingly prevalent within the furry community. More often than not, I assume ignorance over malice (although malice has happened in the past)
i mean yeah lmao it is bro i ain't even gonna deny it. there's plenty of nsfw and endangering minors within the furry, anime, or whatever. But more specifically furries as that's the topic
it's obviously a problem if kids can see it and are involved
but i wouldn't say that makes the whole fandom trash.
"One bad apple can ruin a bunch"
Some people want to wear big fancy fur suits, or look at antro pictures, but it should be kept to themselves, enjoyed in the privacy of there own home, instead of openly displayed and used to define themselves online
and it can look at how people treat furries. But is it justified? No.
If they wanna dress up then that's find but if they do something nsfw with those suits.. then that's definitely a problem and should be private
if they wanna draw animals with humanoid features that's definitely not an issue hell i and many others do the same thing and it's common in pop culture too. But if it's inappropriate then it should be more hidden, as it kids shouldn't be able to see it.
or be involved.
I agree. It’s not an issue to draw anthro art, but you can understand how associating yourself with a community with the aforementioned issues can lead to some undue scrutiny
true and i can understand that.. to a degree that is
i myself is a furry at least by definition, hell people assume things because im an anime fan as well. I don't associate with those people or even interact much in the fandom sometimes and there's plenty of others like that too. Not every member is necessarily bad but there's plenty that are and they're usually the loudest too
In the case of furries they don’t have to identify as one. If you wear a red shirt in a Target store, you can’t be mad when someone thinks you work there
lmaooo true they don't necessarily have to say they are but they do as it shows what hobby they're into and they may try find other furries too
that's usually a reason why people say what interests them in the first place to find others with common interests too
And that’s fair, but they have to be ready to be associated with the negatives of there fandom if they do
and I understand that. That can go for many fandoms such as kpop, it's hella toxic as we already know but they are some that are chill but the things that a lot have done is literally insane
but no i wouldn't harass someone and automatically assume that they're toxic especially if they've showed otherwise that's all im saying
I’m sure we’d all like to, but when way or the next we all judge each other unfairly. Some dude who’s being an ass online could just been having a once in a lifetime outburst, but first impressions are everything. And when you present yourself as a member of any fandom, it will color people’s firsts impressions of you
which is true also just says a lot about people as well. as like i said before people will find really anything to hate on others for.
yeah pretty much all i have to say here ig, not a bad conversation.

I’ll send the transcript to the Supreme Court so they can make a decision on the matter
bring snacks
It's a simple answer and that being "yeah, this is fine to me some bits of it may be weird to me but it won't bother my day to day life".
Arguing about LGBT and furries nowadays to me is like arguing with a wall (kinda like the guy speaking to the wall meme), it's been argued about so many times to point where no one wants to hear it and you're just talking to a brick wall.
Now ofc there's many flaws to fandoms like anime fandoms and furry fandoms but who actually cares?
It can be bothering that these fandoms can be brainwashing to the next generation but what's it gonna do to YOU?
All and all I really don't care what others do
Oh brother has zero empathy
i mean true. many fandoms try to brainwash others obviously not for the greater good usually but that's honestly job how people are. Just try to be as decent a person as you can
and protect the ones from getting especially the kids from getting caught up into that 😭
“It can be brainwashing to the next generation but what’s it gonna do to YOU?” Like just because something doesn’t negatively effect me personally we shouldn’t care?
me personally don't want my kid to grow up to be a toxic kpop/anime stan, or a toxic person in general
so if they got it somewhere along the way that being a "bad person" is ok from anyone, including fandoms, friends etc, I'd do whatever I can to teach them pretty much the opposite
and the simple reply to this comment being "what kind of drugs have you been taking? 💀"
I'm saying that whatever I just said didn't make sense
ah ok
I feel like alot of the hate comes from those people that wanna seem cool, I have a friend who says he would kill a furry on sight, I asked him if he knew what they even were and he didnt
My man literally had no clue what a furry was but still wants to hate
this is kinda true tbh they sometimes jus follow the crowd, especially other kids
or it could be just simple, like to overcome hate of youself you need to hate something else more
it can be anything ~ as long as you hate it more
yeah true people just hate everything for any reason 😭
"It can be bothering that these fandoms can be brainwashing the next generation but what's it gonna do to YOU?"
This sentence is just selfish in many ways... "yeah my family just offed but who cares? The only thing that I should care about is me only"
oh ok.
- there isn't a "simple answer"
There's multiple answers
"I don't support it"
"I do support it"
"I may not like it but I don't care"
"I hate it, it should perish"
Also I wouldn't say "not caring" IS the answer since there's gonna be a time where you gotta care and not just rub it off your shoulder
"Oh no my friend is in danger, oh well 🤷♂️"
No wonder why I try to avoid topics like this since none of this makes any sense
💀
The defense is posting cap, your honor
Bro there’s like a 26 year old man trying to rope me back into a military after I was done
Furrys bad, LGBTQ Good
i love how mods here usually have some sort of controversial takes
you dont change someones opinion by insulting them for their opinion
you cant make a person change from a furry hater to a furry non-hater by saying they hate themselves
thats not how persuading people works
and the logic itself is kind of strange
you cant say someone wants to kill themselves just because they want someone dead
tbh we can also take the same logic and say you hate furry haters to overcome the hate of yourself
it doesnt make any sense
Mod was smoking the copium pack
theres nothing controversial. Theres many reasons behind hate. Just thinking outside the box 
it very much is controversial that you decided to fight fire with fire
and seemingly locate yourself in the right
idk if you are up to fight, you can do it, but dont include me to it, thanks
“don’t include me to it” you literally poured gasoline to the fire
calm down, its just discord
anyways idk if we should even keep this thread here, usually people just want to argue or spread hate
Yeah sako, it’s clear that you disagreeing with his statement is just a cover for you disagreeing with yourself
his? 
Everyone’s a man on the internet
idk who are you talking about
There’s no such thing as women, grow up
well people can belive what they want to belive
Fairy tales
Yes, and the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Look at it this way tho: when you have over millions and millions of apples to spare that are immediately picked before they go bad, it just goes back to what I mean about the individual, and not the community as a whole. There are actually some individual, ripe apples here, picked or fallen off the tree, who cares how? Then, there are the spoiled ones that stay in the tree and are disdained. Hated, and never wanted to be tasted or under the influence. It just depends on the person, not the community.
You’re taking the apple analogy too far. I have no idea what you’re trying to say here
What I'm saying is it depends on the person, not the community. It may be too late for some people who support or participate with the group extremely, but that doesn't mean all of them are the same. They come out differently, and I don't mean by sexuality or some other bs like that. I mean as humans.
I could hate the entire community, but still love like one or more people from it because they're different. I could hate all my family members, and love one or more relatives because they're the realest people I know.
a mans rule of survival, assume all things are male
Yes there is! Look at this one for example
Clearly a man
Ssshhhhh
Those are considered Therians
I thought they were other kin
Im not wanting to start a argument im just saying i’ve hears that many people call them that
I’ve never heard the term “Therian” I’ve only heard other kin
Ah okay
Because people like that are out of touch with reality and most of the time highly obnoxious. I would never tell someone to end there life for something so stupid as being a furry nor should anybody for any reason. Thing is you’re asking why people dislike human beings that wear tails, animal ears, and promote using bathrooms in litter boxes. Of course encouraging self harm is never the answer to anything but let’s be real here.
The reason exactly why people hate furries, I will never understand. It's the most stupidest thing to hate someone for, and I think it's absurd. Furries are nothing but humen in a outfit, it's just a small dressup "game" i guess you can say. I know MANY furries who are genuinely the coolest people ever. I think one of the reason why people hate furries is because they confuse them with therians and people who blieve they ARE the animal, not just acting out for fun or for their own harmed mental life.
Therians are people who use bathrooms in a litter box or stuff, crawl around, and do things a animal would do.
Furries are people who simply dress up as an animal in a humanoid shape. Yes, they bark and growl or whatever, but not always. Those are known as "Hard-Core Furries".
It genuinely makes me mad to watch people hate on furries for no genuine reason at all. They don't even hate or bully or harrass them for their personality or something. It's just because of people stereotyping them, and making them look like awful people. It's an awful reason.
Yes, I understand that some of the people in the community have made and done sexual or just awful things, but it's only- not even a quarter of the community. Again, I've met hundreds of furries and all of them are amazing people. So, it's just that some people follow stereotypes and try to fit into a society that "cancels" or "flames" people for the smallest reason. We came into a society that has lost their minds, and think that everything they do is right and never wrong, no matter who it is. We have this image in our heads of how things should be and what is "correct" or "proper" or "normal" which is completely insanity. Sending death threats to a furry is a whole other level of mental insanity. People dont even flame furries because of something they did, simply because they are.. "Different". And those same people say things like "Being different is being unique, not everyone is the same."
The shortened reason: People do not understand the difference between therians and furries, so they flame furries for thinking they're therians. Plus, this society has just lost their minds..
Gonna need my reading glasses for this thesis
Sorry!! 😭
Read “the shortened reason” in your paragraph one more time. Then explain what furries are.
Im bad at english, I have reworded it.
Woopsies!
Also I’d like to interject, there’s a large amount of overt sexuality throughout the furry fandom. To say that it’s only a small portion is just wrong
it's the internet, some people are gonna hate you no matter what, and that goes for everything. it is what it is
No it wasn’t the English. That was fine. It was just saying that society has lost there minds. While defending a community that barks like animals and has been known to be sexually innapropriate. You seem like a very nice person, I just don’t think I could get behind the whole defending furries thing.
It really is. Yes, there are many people who tend to be very sexual, but really, it's not all of the millions upon millions of people who are furries.
In the early 2000s there were multiple groups of furries that rallied together with the goal of unsexualizing the furry community. The truth of the matter is, that explicit themes are engrained within the furry fandom. The modern day furry fandom literally started with an nsfw magazine
Not to mention the entire websites dedicated to hosting nsfw for furries
And while this might be anecdotal evidence, but every furry discord server I’ve been on always has 2 things in common: nsfw channels, and underaged children
Okay, so let's agree that yes, there are many people in the furry communities who are sexual and do NSFW stuff. But if you really think, aren't we non-furry people also people who do almost the same? There are also most definitely websites for NSFW and servers for NSFW that isn't furry related. There's a non-furry NSFW magazine aswell. Furries are genuinely not much different when it comes to sexual things. You can name so many things about furries that dont include appearance, and genuinely, it could be almost exactly like us non-furries.
(Please tell me this makes sense what I trying to say.
true
honestly there's plenty of sexual things just on rec room alone but yes there's plenty of nsfw furry stuff which honestly isn't a problem as long as kids don't see it/aren't involved
Absolutely, but the difference between me and them is I don’t publicly present my self by what nsfw I enjoy. It should be kept to themselves. And if they decide that they really wish to present themselves that way than they have to be ready to face ridicule
also wow this chat is still very much alive
The point is that there are plenty of people that publicly show it regardless if they are furries or not
I've had many people that aren't furries come up and present themselves with their k1nks and bs.
It's not JUST furries.
Furries are humans, like us.
Just in suits.
And I believe all of them deserve to be ridiculed
It’s a goofy ass thing to do
It's just the Idea of hating on something that's different.
Exactly!
sure if they are showing in inappropriately of course. They shouldn't show it for all to see that's disgusting
But for the ones that don't do that then they're chill
But also the NSFW stuff is uncomfortable. 💀
people do too much with it fr
People usually immediately think of that when it comes to furries.
like calm down
That's the thing with awful stereotypes.
dave already concluded this thread all the way back in march, so I'm just going to close this
Yeah but a lot of furries don't even do that and a lot of them are kids too, and there's also plenty of people that do it that aren't furries either
