Being a Furry is okay. It's basically a special interest, something that all people have, though will deny it to the bitter end.
That being said, when furries go around saying it's not okay to insult themselves or that they should respect their beliefs, that's what sets off the wildfire.I'm not going to let someone tell me what they believe is right. Same goes for religion- If someone's catholic, that's fine.But if someone's a pretentious Catholic who believes all non-catholics are misconceived and silly, that's what pisses me off.
We have all the right to call furries furcigarettes, and they have all the right to rebute, but don't think that'll change anything.
