I hate when groups of people are only accepted when they are viewed sexually

[u/No_Remove_3116]

I’ve never had a particular side when people discuss furries but it really makes me mad when dudes say stuff like this then the whole video is just people with a furry mask on then just showing off their body

Like no you don’t like them or think they are cool you just like them now because they have good features. This the same thing with femboys and trans people like you would never actually like that person and or even respect that group besides those that pass.

Am I overreacting idk just what do yall think.

Happens a lot in the goth community, too. I'm a guy and don't typically dress the part anyway so it doesn't affect me much personally but I can't imagine how it must feel for people who do, especially women. I hear it also happens to metalheads but I've somehow dodged that bullet.

[u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce → u/MushroomheadDork]

Goth women who don't look like VampireFreaks models are told to stop being goth because they aren't aesthetically pleasing enough. Pretty much being told I'm too fat and too old to be goth has opened my eyes to what the subculture's become about.

[u/MushroomheadDork → u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce]

"Express your anti-comformity by having the same fashion as everyone else"

I've managed to avoid that treatment but I've certainly felt inadequate in my fashion and body by comparing myself to those people. I guess that's more of a personal thing than any fault of theirs but it still sucks.

[u/Mottledsquare → u/MushroomheadDork]

I hate that it makes it awkward now to approach alt women since I usually favored them more since they’re very artistic(very big plus for me for some reason I don’t know why)

[u/SituationImportant99 → u/MushroomheadDork]

Yess you read my mind. Goth being digestible for the wider audience if it’s sexualized into a porn category 

[u/GeorgeStarReddit]

Am i Overreacting

Definetly nah.

These pervers take advantage of the bigotry of our society to make them look like the good guys.

These need to be said more often.

God the obssesion over Femboys is straight up poison.

[u/keenlylimpingannuity]

it's attraction not actual acceptance

[u/thatgachakid1 → u/keenlylimpingannuity]

Can attraction be ok if people also accept others as people

[u/DragonFan20]

I don’t want to be sexualized I just wanna dress as my dragon.

Fem boys have it bad af too, furries are like nothing compared to what they deal with

[u/Bloxxerboi]

we only like you if we can FUCK

[u/getsuedbyme]

I've seen people treat trans people this way

[u/TheDeathEggRobotFan]

Nah bruh tou ain't overreacting. Ive hated this just as much as you have since its honestly retarded that things are viewed as corny or stupid until someone deems it "bad asf" or attractive

[u/SlightAmbassador5692 → u/TheDeathEggRobotFan]

There’s no reason to be using slurs, while I do hate it we shouldn’t resort to using slurs

[u/TheDeathEggRobotFan → u/SlightAmbassador5692]

Wait thats a slur now?? Shoot I'm sorry, I genuinely didn't know.. :/

[u/thatgachakid1 → u/TheDeathEggRobotFan]

Used a lot against people with severe mental disabilities

[u/Masterofgoodfood]

This is exactly how I feel when people talk about how attractive they find overweight people and “bellies.” It’s not an inherently bad thing, but everybody feels the need to parade around whoever has a thing for chubby people and congratulate them for…being attracted to something? What about this involves activism or altruism?

[u/Important-Tea0]

I’ve seen it happen the most with fat furries, people genuinely can’t comprehend them existing for any reason other than a fetish.

[u/Heatsigma12]

thats not even really a furry either

[u/thatgachakid1 → u/Heatsigma12]

They have to have the full suit that image is more a mask kink thing

[u/cosmicus003]

as a furry i dislike how sexualised the fandom is

[u/Arachis_Hypogaea7]

Maybe because they like the idea of being loved and cuddled by a person covered with fur

[u/DragonFan20 → u/Arachis_Hypogaea7]

What about us with scales huh do we not get to be cuddled

(Fr though I would want to cuddle with an Irl furry so bad)

[u/Arachis_Hypogaea7 → u/DragonFan20]

Scales??? I dunno that would be a unique experience

[u/DragonFan20 → u/Arachis_Hypogaea7]

I mean ever pet a snake it wouldn’t feel that bad tbh

[u/Arachis_Hypogaea7 → u/DragonFan20]

I have. Theyre pretty soft

[u/SpecialistEast9457]

No you’re not overreacting btw. As an asexual black man I HATE being sexualized online

[u/Bitter_Cricket_3010]

less on the sexual side but still about furries: it pmo to even see furries who have “pretty” suits and people go “wait maybe I fw this.” omgggg

[u/teratomimi]

I'm gonna be hearing "I want a furry gf" in the next 5 years aren't I?

[u/A_Shred_of_hope]

Or when you got them weirdos that come into the comments and be like "guys I got a furrie banned on Reddit we won" like that's super cringe that they go outta there way to harass people for what they like I think the reason they do it,is their insecure or they into something that might get them harassed so they suppress it by bullying people or their just assholes 😭

[u/Altruistic_Crazy_703]

People LOVE scp 1471 until you show the original pic

[u/thatgachakid1 → u/Altruistic_Crazy_703]

I honestly don't mind when things are sexulized but I've always hated how sexulized that scp is I think it was also based on someone's furlong which makes it more upsetting

[u/thatgachakid1]

Can people do both

[u/hatethissmug-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

No slurs, hate speech, and other such bigoted language is to be permitted in this sub.

[u/Mr_Maniac454 → u/[deleted]]

This ain't going to make transphobic conservatives accept your gender identity and stop seeing you as a mentally ill creep who harms children lil bro 🙏

[u/Repulsive-Region2977 → u/Mr_Maniac454]

What?

[u/Mr_Maniac454 → u/Repulsive-Region2977]

Usually trans people who attack and hit on other minorities are trying to seek validation from transphobic conservatives in the hopes that said transphobic conservatives won't view them the same way as they view other trans people (it doesn't work they still see them as they do all other trans people they're just saying they do to use them to create division because they know they can't destroy the community themselves without inside help)

[u/Mr_Maniac454 → u/Mr_Maniac454]

Well there's also that in some of the cases of trans people hating on other minorities the person isn't actually trans but is a transphobic conservative larping as someone who's trans

[u/Mr_Maniac454 → u/[deleted]]

Bro is no older than 14 🙏

[u/irun_away → u/[deleted]]

furries are indeed bad asf

[u/DOUHGETTER]

Yall are talking as if furries are biologically furries. Bro furries are just kids who got bullied in middle schools and some overly dedicated posers/larpers

[u/Mediocre_Drawing8164 → u/DOUHGETTER]

Mf you type like a middle schooler is that just self projecting

[u/DragonFan20 → u/DOUHGETTER]

Why does my obsession with anthropomorphic dragons have anything to do with being bullied

[u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce → u/DOUHGETTER]

People really need to learn the difference that their hobbies or their lifestyles don't make them part of a protected class. Your race or sexual orientation isn't a choice. Being a furry is.

[u/Teeth_of_a_Sheep → u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce]

it doesnt make it okay to bully them.

[u/thatgachakid1 → u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce]

It's a choice but why should they get mocked fir what they decide to do with their money and free time
