Context in the comments

Here's the context:

I was scrolling through the comments of a fun stream post when I came across someone who had said "shut up stupid furry" to a furry. Being the person that I am (and also technically a furry myself), I hopped in with a semi-lengthy retort. The essential ideas are that one, the person thinks that they can do anything they want because they're behind a screen (which is wrong), and two, that person has applies a very incorrect stereotype to a large group of people without any evidence to support their claim.

I think that anti-fur arguments are stupid and uninformed. Now yes, some furries can be jerks. I don't like those furries. But a lot of furries are actually really nice. I hate it whenever I see a comment that is tearing down furries for so much as breathing. It's like upvote begging: it may have been relevant (and maybe even socially acceptable) at one time, but now, whenever you say "oh, you're a furry, so you must be the bad guy" is just stupid. Lots of anti-furs are just looking for fights. I hate it when people - good people - with posts - good posts - have comment sections full of hatred towards them just because they're a furry.

AND ANOTHER THING: There is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE between a furry and a zoophile. A furry is someone who has an active interest in antrhopromorphism of animals (antrhopromorphism literally means giving human-like traits to non-human or lifeless objects). A zoophile is someone who is sexually aroused by animals. They are not the same. Even though I'm a furry, I'm not a furry simply because I like wolves; I'm a furry because I decided "why the hell not" because my life was getting boring. Furthermore, being a furry who likes wolves doesn't make me a zoophile.

TL;DR: Anti-fur people are just stuck-up, misinformed idiots who think that they can become popular by harassing people who most certainly don't deserve it.

Sorry but, thanks for the explanation but I don’t honestly like furries in appearance (I’m not targeting you specifically it’s in general sometimes)

I'm not a fursuit-er. Fursuits are... odd to me. It looks like it'd be 1000 degrees inside of one, and they can't be easy to put on. And how much do these things cost, anyways?

So a semi furry then

More like a reluctant furry. I know a lot of people who claim to be full-ass furries who don't have fursuits because they're too expensive. Not that I'd want one, anyways. I'd never wear it, for starters (like I said, they look cumbersome and hot).

Can confirm, acted as a mascot for some cash, I couldn't see an inch in front of my face and nearly got heatstroke.

I looked it up and it’s like 2000 to even 15000 dollars, for a suit that’s expensive honestly…and I understand that you don’t like putting one of those sometimes goofy ahh costumes.

2000 to 150000? Who has that kind of money to throw at something like a fursuit?

I don’t know but I calculated that with the 15000 dollars suit, you could buy 1500 Big Macs from Mc Donald’s and 7500 Coca Cola cans with that money or even buy a 2018 Nissan Sentra S with that money (without the cokes and Big Macs)

People are using money to buy bursitis when they could be buying Big Macs and Coke cans?

I think that if you don't like something, you just stay away from that thing in all respects. No need to belittle anyone who participates in that thing, just downvote and move on. It like if someone said "I hate furries!" And then went to the furry stream. You must not hate them that much, if you're willing to go to their designated area. Very contradictory.

Why do you hate the clown when you chose to go to the circus?

If its zoophilic furries,im on full hatred mode.But for the normal ones,im chill with them,dont mind em as much
