My wife and I were talking about this and it made me wonder if anybody even actually gives a crap about furries at all, or if hating them is just an internet meme and nobody actually cares IRL.
Yeah, for me it’s like people who go ALL in on collecting kitsch. Is it a bit cringe? Sure. Is it hurting anyone? No, there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. And if you have the guts to stand up and show it proudly, man, more power to you.
from what i’ve heard talking to other furries, “embracing the cringe” is a somewhat common part of the fandom for a lot of us. “furry hate” is just an evolved form of school kids making fun of eachother for liking different things.
there’s just something so freeing about saying “yeah i pretend to be a dog on the internet for fun”, especially when you just know it’s gonna make someone somewhere SO MAD for literally no worthwhile reason.
Personally, I see it similar to wearing BSDM gear or those cropped hentai shirts in public. Are you free to do it? Yes, but I’m also going to judge you for it

I cringe when I see fursuits or people making their lives about their fursona, but it’s their lives and no one should hate them for it.

As a deer with a human face I assure you that I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Uwu, and such.

Nobody actually cares. Well, some people do, but they tend to be the ones that hate themselves and everyone else so their opinions don’t matter.
The furry community is just one of those things that is weird enough to merit laughter and common enough to become a meme.
But people should be allowed to live their lives without hindrance, so I support em.
I don’t care as long as it stays anthropomorphic.

It’s definitely one of those internet’s stupid “hate for the lulz” things
