    That’s why is weird to start with the assumption that anyone is cool. Or really start with any assumption at all.

      There’s no assumption in saying “furries are cool”, much in the same way one can say “anime is cool” and “robots are cool”. It is a statement of opinion, not fact.

      If you don’t find it cool, just say you’re not into it, but don’t try to gatekeep someone’s enjoyment of something by somehow refuting their opinion that something they enjoy “is cool”.

        I’m not trying to gatekeep anything. I don’t care what you think is cool. Furries aren’t done form of media or object, they’re people. I don’t assume people are cool based on their hobbies.
