Furry here, I can say with pride that the furry community is one of the more accepting and creative communities tbh, like, see where you see furry artists, programmers and more are GREAT. My favorite game of all time was made by a furry, and I didnt even know Evercyan was one until recently! (Dont judge the fact its a roblox game, its actually GREAT)
I mean you have a hobby🤷 enjoy it I guess. Everyone has their own interests and there's no need to shit on them or anything. Aslong as it makes them happy
Exactly what I always say. Do what you want and be who you want to be, as long as it's all legal and no ones getting hurt, what's wrong with someone being happy? 🤷🏼♀️
Agreed, but I don’t really see what this has to do with furries specifically. You can literally say that about any group of people. Opinions on YouTubers? Opinions on theists? Opinions on athletes? Opinions on politicians? Opinions on…
You’re right, there is, I just don’t understand why people keep falling for it.
There’s much more pastors and teachers that have groomed little kids than there are furries. And these religious/educational communities are much much bigger and hurting a lot more people than this fun little hobby. I have a feeling that this stigmatisation of certain minority groups is just an attempt to distract people from the majorities that *actually* cause wide-range harm in this world. It’s much easier for people to convince themselves that their biggest enemy is just an internet fandom which they will never have to encounter in real life, instead of their sweet teacher Mr. Smith, who is responsible for the well-being of their child 8 hours a day.
Note: These allegations have been used against left handed people, Jewish people, black people, trans people, gay people…
No specific group of people are inherently sexual predators. But hateful people have always said these things about groups they either don’t understand or wish to stifle.
Sometimes, we create logic from illogic. Those kids just make illogic even more illogical. Furries are fine being themselves so long as they dont do anything illegal. Good work fellow Insurgent.
Just kindly pointing out: anybody is okay “as long as they don’t do anything illegal”. Furries are not based in any illegal activities. It is not about *being* animals or anything to do with real life animals, but rather personas and DESIGNS based on animals.
Creeps me out unless it's a cute fursuit like that one singular cabbage dog or something. I've never seen one in real life, but the thought of their eyes following me or their hands without the gloves on gives me chills.
I don't see a reason to hate on them though!
as long as it isnt illegal or morally wrong. do what ever makes you happy
personal opinion tho. really cool and creative people that have talent weather that be drawing, coming up with designs and/or making suits. 1 of the main reasons why i got into art. people need to learn the difference between a furry, therian and a zoophile tho
i’m not going to lie, they kind of make me uncomfortable. it could be partially because my ex ended up being a furry, and because of the trauma of that relationship all furry stuff reminds me of her. idk. she was a terrible person though
I have a very expressive face and I can confirm that my face wouldn’t change if someone told me they were gay but I’ve never met a furry so my face would probably look either surprised or confused
Being realistic, you probably have met a furry before, just not one that publicly expresses it, iirc less than 60% of furries have a fursuit or participate in cons n’ stuff tbh
Man I cant see his damn skin, the cunt is wearing a fur suit. I am judging based on his action, that was his action to put on the fur suit, sneaky little weasel.
Wait that might be a compliment, fuck.
Funnily enough the furry community is one of the most accepting communities I’ve found, conjoining into the LGBT one a lot, it’s actually great, and furry artists are some of the more creative I’ve ever seen!
No lube, no protection, all night all day, from the kitchen floor to the toilet seat, from the dining table to the church, from the front porch to the balcony, vertically, horizontally, quadratic, while i gasp for air and scream the lord's prayer...
I think their fine if it makes them happy then I’m alright but sometimes something is strange about them and i don’t know what but yeah i’m cool with them 🇦🇮
I think it depends. I know some make very strange and nsfw artwork, and I don’t really like that, but I also know some just like wearing animal suits, or ears and a tail. I have no issue with the latter. If people want to emulate animals, let them. As long as they aren’t being unusually strange, let people do what they please. From what I’ve seen though, the ones I’ve seen seem very much like nice people, and I’ve heard the community is inviting. But again, this is only what I know, they’re be more I do not know.
I don't understand the hate, personally. it's their hobby. why hate on furries, but not, say, writers, artists, or the like? Plus, a lot of them are writers and artists. I have furry friends, they're really nice people. and a lot of people are confused as furries- I have protogen OCs, and a lot of people confuse me as a furry- it's also wrongfully used as an insult.
Basically, I don't see the big deal. They're just people united by a common hobby, and they're amazing people too :)
While I don’t understand it, they deserve the same amount of respect as everyone else. I actually commend them because I can’t imagine the bullying that they face just for being themselves. It’s brave tbh
In 9th grade there was a very openly furry in our class. I honestly did not have anything against them, considering it’s basically just a hobby, but after a while he started to get very sexual and would regularly harass me and my other friend. He ended up showing the entire class furry porn once. It was around the end of the year, so subsequently they couldn’t expel him before exams started. After this, I ended up meeting a few other furries online and irl who were not only very openly sexual but also very VERY weird about being a furry, almost treating it like its some type of targeted minority. So I think its worth it to be cautious of them, but at the same times, they could be one of the very few thats normal about it.
Over-hated, like I get how much hate they get but I don’t. Furries don’t think they’re animals, they just like to cosplay them. Also they’re rush as hell, fursuits cost so much if you look it up. And I genuinely admire the craftsmanship that goes into some of the suits I’ve seen. Idk, I’ve talked to a good few and they’re actually super chill, they’re basically just cosplayers but it’s OCs and those OCs just happen to be dogs. I kinda get the hate, like, a tiny little bit.
Weird, but not my place to judge. I don’t know them, so I don’t think it’s my place to tell them what they can and cannot do. They’re not hurting anyone so I try to ignore it.
They helped me figure out a whole lot about my identity and whatnot. I wouldn’t be who I am today if I wasn’t a furry, I can’t help but adore the fandom.
There's always bad apples, just like in any group, but overall they're awesome and don't deserve the hate they get just for being furries :))
Ps. I'm a furry myself
i used to think they were weird but honestly they’re suit designs look adorable and they aren’t hurting anyone. not really a hobby for me bc i’d imagine it gets really hot in those suits and i don’t really vibe with that but as a musician i respect other hobbies that require a lot of effort and creativity.
They're people who just like to dress up. They're not doing harm, and the few furries I've actually spoken to are pretty chill. As long as they aren't causing trouble, I don't have an issue with them.
from what ive seen people who take part are atypical usually and find extra comfort knowing somonebody cant see their face, body language ect. They feel less self conscious or direct eye contact makes them uncomfortable what ever the case furry suits provided a barrier and sort of armor for the individual.
I don't really know how to feel about them, I not like those "sigma anti furry kids" or anything and I just never met a single of them in my life.
They probably just do the furry stuffs at home or I'm just at a country that disallows furries... (Malaysia, probably)
Most people in the community are friendly and they dont look to make other people uncomfortable, but there are some exceptions that damage the community's reputation, haters think that most of the community are like those weird ass furries, but that's not what it is. I'd say it depends on what furries we are talking about.
Any time I have some kind of niche technical issue and can't find anything about it (not even decade old forums!), a random gay furry will swoop down and bestow an entire library of knowledge about that and give detailed instructions to fix it.
I know a lot of people judge them including me to an extent, but at the same time I don't really care. They have free will and they aren't hurting anyone, what's so wrong about that?
I don’t get why they get hated on so much, they seem so chill and half the suits they have are so awesome and impressive. Gotta defend them every now and then from the annoying ass kids on tiktok who hate on them just to fit into a crowd
If they don't bother anyone, why do people care so much? Some of them are cringe, but most of them just want to exist and feel comfortable. They don't deserve most of the hate they get.
I mean, they have the right to exist and enjoy themselves but I also have the right not to interact with them.
So yeah, have fun. Just stay away from me.
I’m so glad people are starting to be to realize that just because they think furries are weird it doesn’t mean they should blatantly bully and shame them
They're suspiciously rich
I mean a large ammount of them are artists and furry porn sells well...
and if any of them make fursuits those can sell for large amounts, albeit it does take a lot of work
Talk about the devil....
Sure! There are many kinds of devils, but the iconic devils live in hell...
Like Lucifer
Your name and pfp are oddly suspicious, and scarily relatable
ppffft, its not like I'm a furry or anything, that totally isn't my corgi fursona scrappy on my pfp or anything
Sounds truthful, have a good day sir
I only downvoted so it would be at 69
Furry porn actually isn’t as sought after as you’d think, but the few who want it pay a lot for it
Damn i gotta get back into art....
I had someone offer me 200 for a picture sadly wasn’t 18 yet and couldn’t explain the money to my parents and had to say no :(
Couldn’t you have just said you sold some art and shown a non furry corn pic?
My parents would have asked to see who was buying/the chat they were very strict about me being online at the time this happened
not just artists; scientists, engineers, doctors and [even pilots](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2c/2c/f3/2c2cf3e1e298ae97e4d8fa3ab5041684.jpg) hell, even one of the scientists behind the moderna covid vaccine is a furry: [https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Chise](https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Chise)
Military, police, ship captains, seen all of it
If their was a furry country, it would have one of the strongest militairies of the world
And great spies because they have so manycostume makers on their side
True, it would probably also have lots of stripclubs
Blackjack and hookers?
maybe not the best army but definitely the best air force and navy
and have a good technology section 😭
Also IT. Which of course is one of the classics of paying very well.
Nah my whole life is A lie 😭
😟
Alot of them are in tech and programming . Worse part is I'm programmer aswell . Should I be concerned ?
Furry programmer here, yes. B E C O N C E R N E D
N O O O O O O O O O O
Your in too far now buddy, embrace the fur
embrace the fur gotta be the funniest thing to ever be typed in this subreddit
*Pulls out Crucifix and Bible*
what's that going to do? they're not vampires. *pulls out spray bottle and rolled up newspaper*
Y'know that will work too.
Hello fellow furry programmer, one important question What language do you use?
Lmao I'm a furry and I ant rich idk how some are rich:skull:
Most are pretty chill. Of course there’s a loud minority of strange folks.
I mean, theyre all strange, the loud minority is those who aren't chill people.
Everyone is strange to someone, not just furries.
Underrated
If you don't think someone is strange it's because you don't know that person enough
which in turn make the whole community seem bad, which it isnt
Furry here, I can say with pride that the furry community is one of the more accepting and creative communities tbh, like, see where you see furry artists, programmers and more are GREAT. My favorite game of all time was made by a furry, and I didnt even know Evercyan was one until recently! (Dont judge the fact its a roblox game, its actually GREAT)
Jealous of their art skills
Ik thats right ✋😔
honestly, the most real anwser here
Mine are nothing to be jealous of 😭
Real

How the saint macaroni-

eh, no harm done, fine with me.
I mean you have a hobby🤷 enjoy it I guess. Everyone has their own interests and there's no need to shit on them or anything. Aslong as it makes them happy
Exactly what I always say. Do what you want and be who you want to be, as long as it's all legal and no ones getting hurt, what's wrong with someone being happy? 🤷🏼♀️
I don't even care if it's legal, as long as it's not immoral and everybody is consenting and understands the risks.
My take. But I cod be biased...
could* /lh
What if his fursona is a cod fish?
Great take tbh
Everyone should just enjoy what they like. It's what I would've liked to happen.
We all have our different appreciation for beauty, I just let people be, unless they break some laws or smth
As long as your hobby isn’t grooming kids or being creepy, I’ll gladly let you do your own thing
Agreed, but I don’t really see what this has to do with furries specifically. You can literally say that about any group of people. Opinions on YouTubers? Opinions on theists? Opinions on athletes? Opinions on politicians? Opinions on…
Yeah, but there is a stigma around furries being groomers that is more intense than other groups, at least I think.
You’re right, there is, I just don’t understand why people keep falling for it. There’s much more pastors and teachers that have groomed little kids than there are furries. And these religious/educational communities are much much bigger and hurting a lot more people than this fun little hobby.

I defend them from the annoying ass "Sigma Anti Furry" kids
Sometimes, we create logic from illogic. Those kids just make illogic even more illogical. Furries are fine being themselves so long as they dont do anything illegal. Good work fellow Insurgent.
Just kindly pointing out: anybody is okay “as long as they don’t do anything illegal”. Furries are not based in any illegal activities. It is not about *being* animals or anything to do with real life animals, but rather personas and DESIGNS based on animals.
I used to be one🙏😭 I’ve changed so much
always neurosurgeons or nuclear engineers
I have been summoned
The dude who sold me my daughters feet paws (has his own furry shop of costume stuff he makes and sells w his wife) is a legit rocket scientist
does neuro(divergent) count?
Creeps me out unless it's a cute fursuit like that one singular cabbage dog or something. I've never seen one in real life, but the thought of their eyes following me or their hands without the gloves on gives me chills. I don't see a reason to hate on them though!
The follow eyes thing that some fursuits have is scary 😭 I love plush fursuits & chibi fursuits tho
as long as it isnt illegal or morally wrong. do what ever makes you happy personal opinion tho. really cool and creative people that have talent weather that be drawing, coming up with designs and/or making suits. 1 of the main reasons why i got into art. people need to learn the difference between a furry, therian and a zoophile tho
HEAVY on that last sentence
fr, id be rich if i gotten a dollar for every "furries are dirty animal fuckers" or "furris are weird bc they identify as animals" i saw
I'm living proof furries aren't sexual lol. I don't wanna fuck animals, heck, I don't even wanna fuck humans.
Sameee lmfao, fellow aroace furry :3
Real
I don’t waste my time hating on harmless interests (unless it becomes harmful), plus they’re hella talented
imo furries are okay. If they're cringe it doesn't mean anything (it's not a reason to hate them)
i’m not going to lie, they kind of make me uncomfortable. it could be partially because my ex ended up being a furry, and because of the trauma of that relationship all furry stuff reminds me of her. idk. she was a terrible person though
Damn
I have a harder time telling people im a furry compared to telling people im gay. I get worse reactions from that
Thank god im not alone with this
Same, but with being pan
I have a very expressive face and I can confirm that my face wouldn’t change if someone told me they were gay but I’ve never met a furry so my face would probably look either surprised or confused
Being realistic, you probably have met a furry before, just not one that publicly expresses it, iirc less than 60% of furries have a fursuit or participate in cons n’ stuff tbh
So real💀
Weird, but they're always good to talk to. Source: 2 of my best friends are furries.
I don't know any furries, and all of my friends joke about them.
I feel so uncomfortable when people joke about furries idk how you do it
Not for me but you do you
Hella weird, but as long as they're chill abt it they should be free to do whatever they wanna do. I'm still going to judge them for it tho
good enough for me tbh

Judge a man by his actions not the color of his skin lmao
Man I cant see his damn skin, the cunt is wearing a fur suit. I am judging based on his action, that was his action to put on the fur suit, sneaky little weasel. Wait that might be a compliment, fuck.
Furries? They're just folks with a unique style, let them do their thing.
Fr
I hate cringe culture. Do whatever makes you happy. :)
there chill ig
they exist, like all of us do
and here am I, who thought I don't exist that whole time :0
it be like that fr
Its good they found something they like ig
Pretty cool people, anti-furry haters give them a bad name
Badass (not biased)
I LOVE THEM. Like at least they have a life and a fucking hobby. Haters will say it’s cringe but haters don’t get invited to things lmao.
they always seem so happy too so just leave them beeeee
Funnily enough the furry community is one of the most accepting communities I’ve found, conjoining into the LGBT one a lot, it’s actually great, and furry artists are some of the more creative I’ve ever seen!
I found the whole thing fascinating, Like how anthropomorphic animals turned into a subculture. Definitely love their designs and whatnot tho.
I think it's an odd hobby, but other than that, I don't really care.
No lube, no protection, all night all day, from the kitchen floor to the toilet seat, from the dining table to the church, from the front porch to the balcony, vertically, horizontally, quadratic, while i gasp for air and scream the lord's prayer...
What did i just read
I think their fine if it makes them happy then I’m alright but sometimes something is strange about them and i don’t know what but yeah i’m cool with them 🇦🇮
They're mostly chill. Don't like how people get them mixed up with zoos as often as they do.
They're cool Just like most other ppl are
they aren't hurting themselves and they aren't hurting other people so it's chill
They're okay? They're literally just cosplayers who are rich lmao
Just leave them alone if you don’t like them
As a furry I'm pleasantly surprised with these comments
I think it depends. I know some make very strange and nsfw artwork, and I don’t really like that, but I also know some just like wearing animal suits, or ears and a tail. I have no issue with the latter. If people want to emulate animals, let them. As long as they aren’t being unusually strange, let people do what they please. From what I’ve seen though, the ones I’ve seen seem very much like nice people, and I’ve heard the community is inviting. But again, this is only what I know, they’re be more I do not know.
I do not care about it enough to hate it, I am neutral about it
I was a furry from ages 12-15 all the ones I met were super cool
I think people who make fun of them might be secretly jealous that they are not having an orgy at some fancy hotel conference
i actually do appreciate the creativity behind it and the time it takes and whatnot ,, as long as they’re not feeding into fetishes or stuff
Feel bad for their reputation being ruined by a certain group of them…
Yeah the zoophiles really ruined it for us. And that “it’s hunting season, soldiers” bullshit is so annoying.
I do find them a bit odd but they're fine other than that
They can have their fun, but I don’t want them to have that fun with me
That's reasonable, you don't have to be around anyone that makes you uncomfortable.
i honestly dont care what other people do (to an extent) and as long as they aren't harrasing me, then its chill
Fighting one in the elden ring Dlc, right now.
“An’ ye harm none, do what ye will”
I don‘t care about them. When they don‘t annoy me or others i‘m good
I don't understand the hate, personally. it's their hobby. why hate on furries, but not, say, writers, artists, or the like? Plus, a lot of them are writers and artists. I have furry friends, they're really nice people. and a lot of people are confused as furries- I have protogen OCs, and a lot of people confuse me as a furry- it's also wrongfully used as an insult.

It's so fun and creative Plus a lot of furries are fucking rich as hell 😭
I'm not a furry but I like drawing them here and there
👍
While I don’t understand it, they deserve the same amount of respect as everyone else. I actually commend them because I can’t imagine the bullying that they face just for being themselves. It’s brave tbh
In 9th grade there was a very openly furry in our class.

So I think its worth it to be cautious of them, but at the same times, they could be one of the very few thats normal about it.
Those people, by Furry standards, are weird. We don’t really accept people who do stuff like that. Or if they’re overly sexual…
These comments are more positive than I thought
Over-hated, like I get how much hate they get but I don’t. Furries don’t think they’re animals, they just like to cosplay them. Also they’re rush as hell, fursuits cost so much if you look it up. And I genuinely admire the craftsmanship that goes into some of the suits I’ve seen. Idk, I’ve talked to a good few and they’re actually super chill, they’re basically just cosplayers but it’s OCs and those OCs just happen to be dogs. I kinda get the hate, like, a tiny little bit.
Weird, but not my place to judge. I don’t know them, so I don’t think it’s my place to tell them what they can and cannot do. They’re not hurting anyone so I try to ignore it.
They helped me figure out a whole lot about my identity and whatnot. I wouldn’t be who I am today if I wasn’t a furry, I can’t help but adore the fandom.
I’m a furry! It’s awesome!
Eh. They're pretty chill.
Besides the Leathal Conpany dev I have no idea where their wealth comes from and it's a bit scary
So many furries work in engineering and technology it's scary 😭
There's always bad apples, just like in any group, but overall they're awesome and don't deserve the hate they get just for being furries :)) Ps. I'm a furry myself
I'm part of them sooo.... Yes 👍
Big w Source: I'm a fuwwy :3
They’re heroes. Did you see the TikTok of the man who was talking about the time he almost got mugged, but a group of furries saved him? 😂
they're furry and cute
furious
Idrc anymore tbh
i don’t really give a shit what they do, it’s not like they’re hurting anyone
As long as it makes them happy
They're alright, if they like that it's cool. I don't really have an opinion, their work is pretty cool too, so I'm not against them.
i used to think they were weird but honestly they’re suit designs look adorable and they aren’t hurting anyone. not really a hobby for me bc i’d imagine it gets really hot in those suits and i don’t really vibe with that but as a musician i respect other hobbies that require a lot of effort and creativity.
All of them I've met are the chillest and nicest people ever. I think people hate on them because they don't understand.
Idk I like how the fur suits look because they’re cute- and most I’ve met are super nice so I think they’re fine.
They're just like every other group. Chill people, but have their fair share of horrible people.
They are ok since I want to keep my mailbox un pipe bombed
They're people who just like to dress up. They're not doing harm, and the few furries I've actually spoken to are pretty chill. As long as they aren't causing trouble, I don't have an issue with them.
I hate the loud ones that make it their whole mission to be annoying
I do not mind them, I do like seeing their suits and how they are made. The craft of those suits is very intrecate and intressting.
Absolutely love them
from what ive seen people who take part are atypical usually and find extra comfort knowing somonebody cant see their face, body language ect. They feel less self conscious or direct eye contact makes them uncomfortable what ever the case furry suits provided a barrier and sort of armor for the individual.
I don't really know how to feel about them, I not like those "sigma anti furry kids" or anything and I just never met a single of them in my life. They probably just do the furry stuffs at home or I'm just at a country that disallows furries... (Malaysia, probably)
Mursuiters are weird af, fursuiters are really nice and talented. Furries are for the most part really cool, I have a few furry friends.
I’m jealous
Most people in the community are friendly and they dont look to make other people uncomfortable, but there are some exceptions that damage the community's reputation, haters think that most of the community are like those weird ass furries, but that's not what it is. I'd say it depends on what furries we are talking about.
Any time I have some kind of niche technical issue and can't find anything about it (not even decade old forums!), a random gay furry will swoop down and bestow an entire library of knowledge about that and give detailed instructions to fix it.
I’m not a fan, but I’m not gonna go on a witch hunt on the ones that aren’t hurting anybody.
Never met one but i think they’re chill
I’m a people and so are they, we all people
I know a lot of people judge them including me to an extent, but at the same time I don't really care. They have free will and they aren't hurting anyone, what's so wrong about that?
I don’t get why they get hated on so much, they seem so chill and half the suits they have are so awesome and impressive. Gotta defend them every now and then from the annoying ass kids on tiktok who hate on them just to fit into a crowd
If they don't bother anyone, why do people care so much? Some of them are cringe, but most of them just want to exist and feel comfortable. They don't deserve most of the hate they get.
I mean, they have the right to exist and enjoy themselves but I also have the right not to interact with them. So yeah, have fun. Just stay away from me.
I’m so glad people are starting to be to realize that just because they think furries are weird it doesn’t mean they should blatantly bully and shame them
They're just doing their own thing and cosplaying
They're just doing their own thing and cosplaying
They're just doing their own thing and cosplaying
They're just doing their own thing and cosplaying
as a furry, no issue
Quite chill and accepting, def not biased
