    I’m not a furry, but I never understood the pervasive hate on furries. Seems to often come from biggotted people, but it can blindside you when it doesn’t.

      As a furry - there are a lot of really nasty stereotypes and misconceptions about us and the stuff we do. A lot of it is just thinly veiled homo/transphobia.

      Generally though, we’re a chill bunch of queer creatives and social outcasts who wanna get drunk and have a good time with like-minded individuals.

        Yes! The quality of the artwork that comes from the furry community can be quite well done! I’m often in awe and inspired by the detail and colors and expression that comes off in the illustrations that I see. You would have to be discriminitory to not give flowers to the sheer skill involved.

        There is the one off nutters too, but you can say that about any Fandom and I’ve found the furry community to self-police more than most.
