Gah. mhari summed it up.

Bashing furries just for being furries isn't funny. It doesn't even make sense. So, people get off on the hott furry sexx (this seems to be the majority of the furry-bashing, so it doesn't really matter if it's true or not). Who cares? Would you attack somebody for another sexual interest that's completely consensual? Why on earth are you prying into their lives? Nobody's forcing you to convert to furry-dom. You're not being harmed by anybody else's group identity, you're not being attacked, so, please stop talking about it.

Or at least make your furry-bashing-argument reasonable. OMG! UR A FURRY! UR AN IDIOT AND UNDERSTAND NOTHING! isn't reasonable. OMG! UR A FURRY! UR A PURV! may be reasonable, though I don't see how it's anybody's business. Anything else... I don't see why it should come up.

Okay, now that this is over with, I gotta say I've never understood the point of furry-ness. I'm sure that now that I've posted this, somebody will show up to explain it so I can be enlightened.

I'm going to throw my hands up and say "me too" to the last line. I just don't get it (unless it's Aramis from Dogtanian, because - well, he's a Musketeer so it's OK).

I will also mock them in the second way, but not if it's going to cause offense. I mock gay men because they have teh ButtSechs too, and I think that's as icky as dressing up as an animal for sex. I'm indiscriminate about who I laugh at. I respect evceryone's right to do what they want in a consensual adult environment, of course :)

But... yeah OMG UR A FURRY AND STOOPID! is the most retarded thing I've read all morning. But it's only half ten and I haven't had my fill of fundy message boards yet.
