Ok, I understand. I just don't get how these people have been presented with the facts, yet they continue to hate.
That actually makes a lot of sense. There is still a degree of open mindedness people need to have. I used to be a liberal democrat as a child from listening to my prents, but today, from keeping an openmind i have taken a 180 degree turn to conservatsm... Butthere are facts that you simply cannot deny. Its like these people have ne er read an unbiased study on the furry fandom once in thier God forsaken lives.Ok, I understand. I just don't get how these people have been presented with the facts, yet they continue to hate.
This can be explained with RELATIVITY. What is a fact? How can we ever know that the "Facts" are really true? Every "fact" can be contested and debated, especially when it comes to sub-cultures. So the main reason why they are presented the facts and can still hate is, to you these are facts, but to them they aren't facts. For example, saying "The furry fandom is awesome!" Or "Furries are good people who aren't sexual perverts!" May be facts for you and me, but they aren't facts to some other people, you actually have to convince these people that those proposition ARE true.
Another thing is a psychological effect called "Social Loathing" which is the observed psychological effect that occurs when large groups are put together and people are considered anonymous, such as the internet. Social Loathing is the effect that people start voiding responsibility of their actions in these large anonymous groups, essentially if they hurt you or make you upset they will feel less responsible on the internet than in real life. So because of this social loathing effect they don't really care how their actions affect you because they don't feel responsible for it.
Another effect that occurs in social compliance, if you met a hater in RL there could be many things that occur. If you were with a big group of furries and he was alone, chances are if he started saying how furries sucked he would quickly change hid mind with the massive opposition. However, if you were alone and he had a bunch of hater friends with him, chances are even if he WASN'T necessarily a hater, if his hated friends started hating he would start hating too. The actions of people around us affect us.
Chances are, he is probably trolling
Really just leave em alone or just go with the flow and pretend to not careWho needs to pretend?
