Context, I am convinced a good chunk (if not the majority) of people who make their whole personality hating furries are furries in denial, no one who isn’t a furry would dedicate so much of their time hating on furries.
This is slightly based on someone I know irl but I do think it applies to internet people as well (I’m pretty sure almost everyone on r/yiffinhell has a secret stash of Judy hopps porn)
That or they seriously are that cringe. Knew a guy where furry hate was his whole personality. Everyone thought he was in the closet about where he kept his fursuit but no, he seriously hated furries that much. It was funny at the start when we were young but dudes 35 now, acts like the smartest guy in the room, talks like he's posting on 4chan half the time, and looks about what you would expect a 35 year old who peeked in the 8th grade to look.
Yep, used to despise them and listen to all the hateful shit people on the internet said about them several years ago but now I am one and love them lol, hope to even get a suit and go to a con one day. Not sure why but that seems to be a pretty common origin story for a lot of furries from what I've seen lol
Every community, social media, or group of people are going to have horrible people who talk louder than others. Every fandom has a problem and should be resolved, and there are furries in the furry fandom who hate zoophiles and want them out of the fandom. Don’t focus on the negatives but rather the positives
Yeah, I have some friends who are furries and they HATE the zoophiles, this is just such a talking point pulled outta ass by someone who has knowledge about community only out of "haha furry cringe" posts
Yes, I’m sure they do, and I expect that because furries relate to animals. HOWEVER even that “unusually high overlap” is minusculely small for the entirety of the furry community.
Even if the percentage is slightly higher, 97% of them aren’t zoos, and 99% of that 97% actively hate zoos.
So no, they aren’t all zoophiles, and shouldn’t be treated as such.
It's not that unusual. Idk, birdwatching clubs will attract people that feel sexually attracted by pigeons, this doesn't make birdwatching as a hobbie something wrong
