Opinion: Haters in Furry

I doubt his hypothesis about 2. There is another variable when dealing with intra-furry hatred and that is misconception that the act of another furry will cause a blow back on those innocent of the wrong doing. So 2 was more thinking about being seen rude because of the behavior of one baby fur rubbing off on people (such as the hotel staff) and in his worrying about perception of the actions of the one he attacked the whole group of them to place the behavior on the subgroup to severe it from the whole. "Throwing them under the bus" if you will. It's not the first time he did it, it certainly wasn't the last, and he'll do it again.

More accurately would probably be describing 2's behavior as a gay person hating on a bisexual because bisexuals make it SEEM like gays have a choice. Or a monogamous gay person who hates on a polygamous gay person because they know people will use that as "proof" that ALL gays are immoral.

The concern of ignorance in other can cause people to distance themselves from people 'weirder' then themselves. The irony is when the fear of ignorance causes the ignorance itself.

This is just one of those things that is always going to exist, there will always be people with insecurities about themselves , that don't have the strength to face them, and instead redirect these feelings onto others that are different. Haters gonna hate

The writers of [adjective][species] have some interesting things to say, but frequently blunt their points by using too many words to do so. (Part of this impression comes from technical choices of column-width / line-spacing / font size, but not all.)

I also noticed several instances of "here's a concept I just read about that I'm applying to furry". This is perhaps part of the point of a "meta-blog", but it still feels like they're trying too hard when they do that.

As with Flayrah, sometimes the best part is the comments. Here are some posts worth browsing:
* Re-evaluating your Sexual Preference (I agree with Altivo; age is a uncontrolled factor)
* Furry Cons of the World (possibly triggered by my story about Fur-st and Kemospo two weeks prior)
* Death in the Fandom
* Eighty-Twenty
* Animal Farm (Maus, I believe, has the same non-furry status)
* Online Relationships
* Participation Mystique 2 - On Words
* Zoophilia in the Furry Community
* Dressing Up
* First Impressions
* How to Approach Someone (mostly for the Tapestries flowchart, though it surprisingly lacks cinfo)
* Character Verses Self (largely for Klisoura's comment)

The site also suffers from the same "huge-ass header on every page" that FNN had (literally half the window on my netbook) . . . but I didn't notice until I tried it in Chrome. It didn't even load for me in Firefox, because it has "ad" in the URL, which I block. Whoops.

For those wishing to keep up with [a][s], I've added their feed to our front-page footer.

I don't know, I was kind of thinking, "Oh, maybe now's a good time for an opinion piece! I did one last year about once a season, counting the movie countdown, so a nice spring piece before June ... hmm. Maybe not."

Also, total coincidence, but today is the one year anniversary of the first "folding story" victim's appearance.

I like how the article implies that the babyfur community is purely sexual.

2 Made up the diaper story.

I'd heard it told at various cons, the same damn story, from people who "saw it themselves." Long before that FWA, long before that convention even existed.

He walked around that con drunk, the whole time, plastered off his ass. Someone probably talked about it, and he thought he saw it in a haze of alcohol. The story turned deeper in him, and it became a rant. It's just common. If all these people who claim they saw a diaper in an elevator at a convention really did, the conventions would be covered in diapers.

The rest of this article is just pointless speculation on why people continue rumor mongering and how that makes them "haters."

Umm.. we're human?

>I like to eat shit
>people call me weird
THEY BE HATING I DEMAND TOLERANS
*facepalm*

"Our hater is just reacting in a natural fashion to his own sexual interests or orientation: the anti-zoophile is very often a zoophile himself."

brb, off to enumclaw washington to see a man about a horse

Am I a "hater" if I hold the opinion that certain behaviors and pursuits-- often but not always sexually linked-- are harmless fun but in the interests of good taste should be pursued in private?

"In the furry community, we don’t have a significant problem with homophobia."

Tell that to this guy:

As somebody who had volunteers for conservative causes a standard joke is a homophobe is conservative arguing with a liberal and the conservative is winning. The underlining joke is the liberal activist resorts to argument ad hominem (to attack the person than the argument)
The gist is one disagrees with a homosexual one is a homophobe and worst suffers form a mental illness. To make matters worse JM now attempts to link the same argument to fetishism in furry fandom and sinks into non sequitur territory. JM flawed proof does not follow his collusions. If I were to follow JM illogic then would objection to baby furs, means the objector has lenient baby fur tendencies?
They are many other issues like in the case of zoophilia, and animal lover would think zoophilia is animal abuse or baby furs behaving badly in public.
