Things you hear about furries?

[VentKazemaru]

Being in the fandom we are in, there has to be some crap you seen or heard about it. Hopefully some stupid, amusing ones.

So far for me, the dumbest thing I heard about furries is not hearing anything about them at all where I live.

... one of my friends suddenly went furry...

And so beganeth the furfaggotry jokes... you know, the usual.

[Iseeyouthere]

There is a good list of dumb things I've heard about furries. I'll list some of them. These are no joke, these are what I have heard.

1. We are a breed of Nazis
2. We are all gays
3. We all have sex in animal costumes
4. We howl if cornered
5. We are not humans
6. We deserve to die

The list can go on. Its a combination of dumbasses, zealots, trolls and more dumbasses that present a whole list of dumb things about us. Course, I have to laugh at some of them because the stuff they say about us is so weak and fake. Never take it to heart though. Just remember your smarter than them because you know the truth.

[arinot]

He truth= we all will get superpowers in 10 years...
Not really...

I just wanna say that most of the fur insults are just trolls and people who find it funny ( common... You've probably laughed at one racist joke...)

and therefore, the above is stupid (by that I mean the list, not the post)

[Iseeyouthere]

Troll or not, they are still dumb as hell.

[Skunky von Angst]

I've never heard much about furries to my face (then again I am surreptitious about it ), but the general consensu is we're immature and do not contribute to society, blah blah blah.

1. We are a breed of Nazis

Never quite heard this one... how'd this come about (assuming there is logic behind it at all)?

I think ye refering to nazifurs. I respect anything people set their hearts too, so I'm not against that. But I do hate people who shout stupid stuff out of their mouths with no clue what they're saying. I guess people troll furries because everyone else does too, which is even stupider because they probably haven't the faintest idea what the fandom is like, much less themselves.

[Kiva Darkbane]

i dont like to think of us as humans most of them bug me (my own view) (MOST!!!)
and same here i live in a place where religen is very commen and its all the same its like the center (almost) so very few know about furrys or anything out side there little bubble.

[KaigeTheRipper]

I once heard that furries all had occasional urges to mark their territory on trees 'n crap... An obvious joke, though.

[Commissar Jake]

Anything my old gaming group said.... But it turns out most of them don't care either way.

[Browder]

That all of us are unsuccessful fat layabouts who can't hold a career and that we have no sex appeal.

[Alan the fox]

Well we are the purest beings from hell sent to damn mankind to the end of the world. As to bring forth the coming of the devil and the guy that said this then said if your sites werent all gay based it would be cool but they are.

Heard a guy say this to his friend i just kept walking however my sister stopped to say "hey your the guy dating Mr. smith.....so what could you have against furries and gays" good old Ashley never knows when to shut up.

[therealgamer5]

The stupidest thing I've heard people say is that all furries are pedophiles.

Never heard of Nazi furs, and it seems a bit oxymoronic to say "Nazi-furs".
a poorly explained example of something i have seen

I once saw an argument on Gaia (no i am not a member) where there was the question "What do you think of furries?" or something like that, and someone posted something like "dont keep insulting furries, or i'll have to bring out the big guns/argument winner/etc" and the posted again with a picture of 2 KKK members and a anthro fox who was bound that was thinking making some sort of comment of fur haters or something like that (sorry, saw this a few months ago and don't remember it clearly ) while one of the members was throwing a noose over a branch... yeah

Another thing i have heard is something related to the fur-suits, and being mixed up with *bestiality
* definition:

For those who don't know, it is fucking animals in the literal sense

[Chime]

Well, this is actually something that was said we're NOT doing, but I guess they had to write it because somebody had said that we do such a thing.

That furries have sex with animals. *shudder* (I would never do such a thing. And I'm convinced that no other furry would do that.)

Edit: I searched on "furries" and the first result was a webpage with this explanation of furries:

You can learn some strange things here on the internets, amigos. Today I regrettably discovered the world of furries.

Furries are humans who wish they were animals. Because their sucky DNA won’t let them be the real thing, they have to resort to dressing up in stupid animal costumes. Then they go to freaky parties where everyone pretends they are in the wild. Creepy.

That's just plain mean.

Another edit: Sorry, I just had to put this up. Furry search again, and I found this long "explanation" of furries on a page called "Encyclopedia Dramatica". It must be the meanest thing I've ever SEEN.

Sorry, took the link away. It would've been too much for people, I think.
