Yes, furries seem to be the new group everyone is ready to hate no matter the political inclination. Gays are accepted more and more, trans people are far from safe, but at least have allies, furries seem to be the easiest target now. I need to learn the paws salute.

Please don't compare your love for cartoon animals to being lgbt

Tbf, furries are ⅔ LGBT.

There's research on that. Thanks, Canadian goverment.

Edit: ITT: Someone spends 10 fucking hours responding to every single reply thats even remotely empathetic towards furries, while being a wedge-issue little shit. This is so sad.

Furry or not; we are stronger together.

While furries aren't a marginalized group, 99% of furry hate is a proxy for queerphobia and ableism, the criticisms are almost 1:1 with the shit those same people say about queer and autistic folk.

Tell me you don't know queer subcultures without telling me you don't know queer subcultures. Would you like to complain about drag shows while you're at it? I hear it is very in vogue at the moment.

Why? If someone's identity as a furry is as much a part of them as your identity as gay, or for that matter, Marcus' identity as black, isn't it similar enough a violation that society deems you can't be that and be a full equal?

This, to me, is the problem. Mystique shouldn't have to hide her mutant status even though she could.
