Furry Hatred

[Midnight Madness]

Same. I haven't dealt with too much trolling beyond Deviantart. I know what to look for and I certainly don't shove my furriness in everyone's face, so that may help. Many times I have had people ask 'what the **censor** even is a furry?' One being my father, another being my little brother, and the rest having been kids at school. I gave them the baseline, admitted there were extreme members as with any fandom, and they all reacted positively. My Brother said it sounded pretty alright, my father realized he had the wrong idea and accepted it, and the kids at school all had somewhere in between those two reactions.

I have only really gotten hate on the internet. And I used the handy-dandy block and report functions to stop the issue right then and there. They either got banned a few days later or were punished in some other way. Every time.

Hmm. Haven't told my parents yet. Not sure why. They're both very accepting. Anyway another topic for another day.


Back on topic, I remember watching IHE video on I hate furries and was surprised at the amount of hate he got for it. I mean he made valid points and didn't even hate them, just said they were odd.

Dude, I saw that same video and I have to say I was ashamed of those members of the fandom giving him so much grief. My friend Christy (known as StealthSushi here) showed me the video while we were up watching a bunch of cringe compilations. IHE has strong opinions usually, but he was so genuinely kind about that one that it amazed me how many furries got their knickers in a twist. I have every feeling that the vast majority of them just saw 'I hate furries' and assumed it was to be taken literally and that it would be another troll video. Sad for those irate furs that it was more to our support than detriment.

[Crest Is Dead ((For Now))]

Yeah. I mean it was the first video of his I watched and I loved it. Those people of the fandom really over reacted. I actually had to pinch myself as I swear it was a dream. The comments where just so serial. It doesn't matter now though I mean he takes hate on the chin and laughs about it. An lot like how I do it.

...You're kidding, right? Those furries had every right to be pissed at him. There's literally no nice way to say "furries are horrible people." The fact that you people can just smile at him just shows you're supporting the bullies and the people who want to make our lives hell, which honestly makes me sick and disgusted.

Sometimes I don't even know who you guys are anymore.

Dis you see the video? He doesn't actually hate furries. That's just the title for most of his things. The worst he says is he's odd and that he doesn't get it. That's not hate.

Honestly, his problem is the title. I don't care if he was joking, he was asking for trouble when he came up with the title.

You may think this is a bit hypocritical to say, but generally what I hate is how people purposely try to provoke others, and the title was the provocation point, so in a way the title is still somewhat bullying.

[Crest Is Dead ((For Now))]

It's not bullying as he doesn't hammer on about how he hates furries. Bullyingnis when someone physically,  verbally or emotionally abuses you on a day to day basis. And he do nothing off the sort.

No, but I still think the title was provocative.

[Crest Is Dead ((For Now))]

I will give you that however most of his titles are and he never means harm. Or at least I get that impression.

[Midnight Madness]

It's called sarcasm, Benny. Not everything is literal. His video proves that. I get called 'furfag' in jest by other furries, and I know they're joking because previous experience tells me they think no such thing. As said, think with your brain.

The guy behind the persona of IHE is a well meaning person.

[Grovygrunge]

Id like to point out IHE stands for I Hate Everything and he uses "I Hate _" as the title to literally all of his videos regardless of if he does or not. It's a character. Is it clickbait? yes. Is it silly to suggest he change his title format for one specific subject because people won't bother to actually watch the video before forming an opinion on it? Also yes.


Though I see you're point it can be viewed as provocative but I feel that isn't really an excuse.

I just wanna point out that consistently bickering with people who have different opinions on how to deal with "bully's", especially ignoring them, is no better than the bullies that harass people in the first place .w.

For me, my relationship with the fandom is a double edged sword. While I generally enjoy the community and the people apart of it, I also hate the contra that it's the most "accepting" fandom out there. While many people are accepting of many different other people and ideals and etc, there are many people that claim this but absolutely aren't. I find it funny when someone preaches their acceptance of genders, races, etc, but then turn around and act very "speciest" towards certain groups of peoples choices of fursona's. I've also seen quite a few people that don't accept certain orientations, subgroups, etc.

And as I believe it's already been mentioned, furries make themselves great targets most of the time. They open themselves up to criticism because they feel they have to prove something to everyone and stand up "against" criticism of the fandom. "Furry pride" is a wonderful example. It mashes the worst parts of "gay pride" with the worst parts of "furry pride" half of the time, and you end up with gay femboy Red Rusker images being slathered everywhere with furries preaching their supremacy over their "oppressors."

Is that the majority or every person/furson? No, but it's the most loud spoken of the minority.

And maybe this'll be an unpopular opinion but hey, it's not the first one I've ever said on here!
