      “I do not like a certain subset of humanity because they are different than me and I feel safe punching down at them”

        “I don’t think this particular hobby is cool” is not “I do not like a certain subset of humanity” and you are a clown for attempting such. If you’ve ever wondered why someone dislikes you, it is probably because of this behavior.

        Woah, you put a lot of words in my mouth. I don’t mind them at all. I just wouldn’t say they’re cool. Thinking about it now, it’s weird to think anyone is cool because of their sexual preference.

          Why is there this weird prudish subset of the internet that seeks to over-sexualize benign activities that make them uncomfortable.

          Furries are, at most, a place where a minority find it easier to express sexuality (such as homo-, bi-, pan-sexuality amongst others). This isn’t because it’s inherently sexual, but because they feel comfort and lack of judgment from their peers.

          It’s a shame that you find that kind of acceptance to be uncomfortable

            What the fuck are you talking about? I never said anything is the sort.

              Nah you were just ostensibly judgy about a specific subset of cosplay enthusiasts. They put a lot of effort into the show. It’s a huge trigger.

              If, for instance, you were a large-hat enthusiast, you might be put out if someone decided you fucked kids because of your sombrero.

          Dude, are werewolves the same as wolf-wolves to you? Because they are really not the same at all. It’s like saying a lemur is the same as a human. It is cognitively and anatomically very different.

          It is when you generalize an entire subculture based on an episode of CSI from 1999
