      While furries aren’t a marginalized group, 99% of furry hate is a proxy for queerphobia and ableism, the criticisms are almost 1:1 with the shit those same people say about queer and autistic folk.

          I see a huge potential for them to become an at risk minority. Why shouldn’t I defend a group that I think is innocent and under threat? I don’t want them to be next. Bullying of groups of people who do no harm, just want to express themselves in their own way, makes me sick.

            Because being a furry is a hobby, engaging in a hobby doesn’t make you a minority.

            No matter what happens, you can always stop looking at cartoon animals on the internet, can’t really stop being gay or trans.
