# Furries: On most of the Internet it's acceptable. On Web 2.0 sites, however, you can expect a flood of whining.=
As a matter of fact, we whine where ever we're made fun of. We only mention it on Web 2.0 sites. Remember, the furries our EVERYWHERE. Say one word against us and you get blogged about forever.
In fact, we make up funny words for making fun of furries in the hopes that it'll become some sort of social stigma because we all thin it's this huge social movement. I mean, for God's sakes, it's ANIMALS! I can't stand it! "Oh, NO! How DARE you make fun of my lifestyle choices?"
Well, I tell you what, if you weren't wearing ears and a tail to work you MIGHT not get made fun of as much. It's not a LIFESTYLE choice. And if it is, honestly, you're just being creepy.
And don't give me that "Vocal Minority" thing, either. Because if almost everyone is part of the "Vocal Minority" then, unless I was asleep for that math lesson, it's a MAJORITY. Don't say you're in the silent majority. If you're so major, say something. Honestly, you have no CLUE how many furries have insisted it's a Vocal Minority and then add "I like yiff, but I'm in the minority."
Riiii-iiight. Look, stereotypes are there for a reason. Asians are called smart because their culture is more educationally oriented. Black people are called good basketball players because the majority of the NBA is black. And furries are called perverted whiners because of sites like FChan and how we all whine about "Fursecution" as if it's akin to the holocaust.
Now, look, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying go punch a furry for no good reason. As I've mentioned, I happen to be a furry, and I'm not the sort of guy who likes being punched in the face. I'm just saying that if they're anything like most furries I know, they'll give you a good reason. Actually, some of the furry hating people are almost as bad as the furries themselves. I actually have a post I found once saved.
A-hem. "If I could go back in time and either stop the Nazi party from gaining power in Germany or stop the furry fandom then I'd chose the furries hands down."
Right. Because the way they kinda squick you out with their drawings of fifty foot rabbit chicks with penises (Something I've seen, and honestly wish I hadn't) is a WAY greater social injustice than how millions of people were killed painfully. Honestly, we're REALLY mostly harmless. Sure, we have a few... Okay, a lot... Okay, an enormous amount... of really squicky-outy pictures of anthropomorphic animals, but we're not HURTING anyone with them. And they're a lot better than some pictures I've seen. In fact, there is one furry artist whose name escapes
In short, furries, stop whining, you're only being persecuted, oh, I mean "FURsecuted" because you're being such little bitches about it. And furry haters, grow a set of balls and stop being so upset about the pictures.
"Oh, but Otal," you say, "Otal, they draw the worst things that I've ever SEEN."
Well, tell you what, that problem is easily solved. I'll send you a link to Goatse, Tub Girl, and Hai2u. There. Now they're not drawing the worst things you've ever seen and you can stop it on that score.
In short, my attitude towards this is Brighid's attitude towards politics. "Shut up. You're both idiots."
Good God, I've been wanting to say that for a while. I now confidently await my hate mail, secure in the knowledge that I've managed to piss of everyone either on the basis that they are or aren't a furry.
