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.

Also, I have to add, that that thread's the first time I've randomly come across someone on LJ using one of my icons.
That's your community what done that, thank you *hugs*

Every time I see an icon that was posted there, I get all gleeful and squee-y.
