Either ignore him or show him how much of an idiot he's being.

I don't recommend this at all, but I'd find something he enjoys, look up the negative stereotypes, and use the info to send the crap he does right back at him. I know that's stooping to his level, but I'd like to give him a taste of his own crappy medicine. But again, I am not recommending that, I'm just saying. ._.;;

If you are going to confront him please don't get too physical it's not a good idea (unless it's not mathematically possible that he could beat you)
Therian and otherkin I am of both
do as you will I do not care

Yesterday I showed my dad these forums, explained more about them (and used the word furry this time), and even told him about the negative things many people think furries do. He has no problem with me being in the furry fandom. I haven't explained the convention part yet, but I'm sure it won't be difficult to do so. Should I bring up my artwork? I know they have anthropomorphic art there.

Glad it went well. :) I don't see why showing him your artwork would be a problem, as long as it's not "adult" art.

Came out a few days ago to my everyone except my parents, i said "btw im a furry" on facebook and so far noone has seen anything although i am aware they have seen it because of comments such as ":O" and "._.". but i feel awesome and after i muster up the confidence im going to tell my mom and get a collar (i dont know how yet lol).

then il just fit the fandom around my lifestyle and go about my daily business as normal.

He already knows about it. I meant about conventions. Saying I'd like to show off my work at a convention might make him think about letting me go to the one near Chicago.
