Why do people hate furries so much?

Question

I honestly don't LOVE them but I don't like HATE them either.

Answer 1

They smell like mercats!

Answer 2

Not truly understanding the objective of the question if it's canine other than what comes to mind, I'm not particular as to the desire of a woman's possession, be it like a sheep dog or a hairless chihuahua.

Answer 3

What's furries?  Furry creatures?  I like furry creatures.  Like cats and goats and s-h-i-t.  What the h**l are you talking about man?

Answer 4

Apparently you are referring to the sub-culture of "Furries"

I can see why that would be annoying to more traditionally minded people , basically you've got the whole clown effect going on.

Secondly, it's fine if you are dressing up for Halloween or something but really not for much else.

Thirdly, it's likely that other than Halloween, it might be difficult for "Furries" to find common ground with "non-Furries", and in this regard being that it's both entirely voluntary and it requires explanation for which, which most people may not have the time.

In this way, Furries probably have alot of common ground with Trekkies / Trekkers, SCA folks, Civil War Re-enactors , actors and the more general Cosplay subculture. Otherwise, they might look like the Fast-Food / Theme Park / Game Store clerk/attendant who's been asked/forced to pimp burgers/games or advertise for the new Uberpuker Roller Coaster, over at the local theme-park.

I personally don't have a grudge necessarily as one of my absolutely favorite driving/commuting experiences was having a guy follow my route to school one day, the guy who was obviously pretty pissed off, and dressed up as Sesame Streets' Grover at a birthday party, and had to leave the party in a terrible hurry, get into his white mini-Yaris and tear down the Garden State Parkway at 80 MPH, all the while, still wearing his Grover costume, while gesturing to himself in the car.

Answer 5

I have masclophobia so the idea of mascots/ people in animal costumes humping does not help things. It's their choice but i don't want to see it, or be near it.

Answer 6

Do you mean people who get off on dressing like animals? I don't understand it, but it doesn't bother me unless one of them starts humping my leg. LOL
