>you cannot express yourself on imageboard becouse we do not like you

It is because Furs spend so much of their time on the internet that they have no social skills in the real world. Most are just awkward, inconsiderate, and down right fucking creepy when they get around other people/

Yep, although that's not the general rule with everyone in the fandom. I've been in the fandom for a few years now (although I've been drawing anthros for much longer than that), and even though I am a loner by nature I can talk to people and have a more or less decent conversation (my knowledge of "what's hot" is scatty at best).

This stereotype is wrong, and I wish people would stop perpetuating it.

Of all the fandoms I have encountered, I find furries to actually be among the most extraverted groups around. It's directly correlated with things like frequently going to cons and yiffing every other fur in sight. A fursuit isn't a mask to hide behind, it's a type of clothing to flaunt as being a part of what defines you as a person, no different from fashion or tattoos.

As with everything, however, it's an observer bias. The only furries you see on the internet are the ones who are on the internet — ie: the ones who are loners, introverted, and socially awkward. This might be only 5% of the total, but you would mistakenly believe it to be 100% because you, yourself, are probably that type as well (or you wouldn't be here, either!) and thus never meet any furries out in the physical world.

>never meet any furries out in the physical world.
I thank the good Lord everyday for it. Still, we need to get to the roots of the problem.

How did it start?
Was the fandom immediately outcast or did the hatred build up over time?
A lot of internet users don't even know or understand the 'furry culture' and may have varying levels of negativity associated with the term or none at all.

Certainly I've always been under the impression that 4chan's /b/ and possibly /v/ were the first user-groups to capitualise hatred for the fandom which would make sense considering they're not a fan of the attention seeking, extroverted personality many furries have.

Consider some of the odder members and the strange, often immature statements they make it's definitely something that /v/ would focus their infamous rage upon, pic related.
4chan, as a whole, loves animals, mostly.
Just look at the prevalence of Caturday. Whilst the concepts behind the majority of the furry fandom involves the same affection to animals, there is that differentiation between zoophilia and sexualised anthropomorphs, but it is easy to see how any average person would immediately view the pornography which makes up a large part of the fandom's content.

It doesn't help that once furries were looked down upon by the rest of the internet the even more despised zoophiles themselves were able to attempt integration.

Hey alexia, do you have any more pictures like on the top post? Now that is what I call a fantasy come true!

>Was the fandom immediately outcast or did the hatred build up over time?

I don't know, but I assume it was immediate. Every group is immediately looked down upon by everyone else as inferiors for completely-invented or farcical reasons. Human beings survive partially by belittling and snubbing their noses at some other group; nobody wants to be at the bottom of the totem pole.

I actually suspect it might have been other hated fandoms who started the hate. Normal people say, "well, at least we're better than gamers"; gamers say, "well, at least we're better than Trekkies"; Trekkies say, "well, at least were better than fat D&D nerds" and the D&D guys say, "well, at least we're better than furries!"

As for the reason? There really isn't one. You can go out and find the worst, most disgusting, delusional, idiotic example of whatever group you want: homosexuals, hipsters, furries, republicans, Bible-thumpers, negros, conspiracy-theorists, soccer-moms, gamers, etc. and use that as a rallying cry to claim ALL members of that group act/are the same way. If people do not have any reliable information to the contrary, they will stupidly believe it at face-value and without question.

There is just no escaping this; no group is completely free from this treatment. Some get it worse than others, but the truth is you can't claim to be something without getting abused and insulted for it; and if you claim to be a part of no group, you'll be hated for that, too.

The problem is not that they are introverted or extroverted. (Remembering all those shitty talks about "furry soul" and so on in fido7.ru.furry). The problem is that they are dumb (or too successfully pretending to be dumb).

P.S. Sorry for terrible Engilsh. Not my native language.

Thank you for the link. I would classify myself as a closet fur. Many furs out there would classify themselves as an animal for their fursona. As for me, I see myself as a human, but a human that would accept any anthropomorphic being as an equal and also get it on with said an anthropomorphic being.

>>5046
this exact same comic can be done with gay people, just replace the furry person in that with a gay person.

no that wasn't some kind of reversed thing that should make you think about the message in the image. fags should stay in the closet, thats what i say.
