I can say "yeesh" too. Most of what I said was informative, not an attack. I've just seen the same arguments against furries over and over and over and over, and so on, and I'm tired of it! And how was I being toxic? I only get like this to help defend others who are just minding they're own business, and not harming anyone or anything.
If you find furries as cringe, that's fine, I can't control that, as it's an opinion, but saying that the fandom is a fetish is just incorrect.
Personally, I think it's dramatic that you took what I said as me screaming at your, but no, I wasn't. I've just seen this happen so much that I've gotten kind of abrasive with it. This applies to furries, LGBTQIA+, and therians. Groups that all are stereotyped, misunderstood, and unfairly judged.
You took what I said like 10 times more aggressively then it was meant to be.
I just urge you to do proper research. I would never do research about the actual benefits sports drinks by only reading sources put out by Gatorade or Powerade. I'd look for information put out by people who did proper, non-influenced experiments.
Same way you shouldn't get information on furries by only looking at anti-furry sources if that's what you did.
And about z**philia, the anti-furry sources I've seen all put the percentage of furries who are ok it really high, and all the furry sources I've seen put it really low. We're talking like 60% and and 0.5% respectively. So yeah, there's clearly bias at play here. I did hear one person who claimed to be a furry say it's like 30% (yeah right,) and I find that highly doubtful. I'd bet they were an undercover anti-furry trying to make the fandom look bad.
And never trust polls done on the topic. If people are polled in person, social stigma will make it more likely for people to claim not to be z**philic, even though they are. Polling anonymously can lead to getting a high number of trolls making false yesses.
Sorry if I came off as too aggressive, I just can't stand it when people seemingly didn't do proper research, and than spit their research off as fact.
