Being a furry on its own is okay, but the reason for being one is what makes it a good thing or a bad thing.
Zoophiles pretend to be furries to try getting unwanted support from others, along with pedos, neither of which are welcome in the community.
People who went into the community just for porn are also bad people, only desiring un-needed and unnecessary things for their pleasure.
I despise these kinds of people.
Me on the other hand is in the fandom because I have a bad childhood and want to fit in with those who had bad ones too, so we can talk it out with each other for comforting and so we aren't alone. That and because I want to be different, I want to enjoy life, not live the same boring life over and over again. I'm here for the support, the love and most importantly the friends.
