I actually feel handicapped because of that furry hate thread I made.

You don't like them because people hate them and make stuffpost/troll threads directed at them?
I must be missing something, because "someone made a troll thread directed at them, therefore I hate them" seems like piss-poor logic to me
No seriously, I'm confused, because I don't see what else is going on here to say "this is why I hate them"

Basically what I mean is, I dislike furries who are all snooty about it as if we're all supposed to accept what you like. One person makes a topic about how they don't like it and in comes the cavalry to defend the fur fest.

Also, from now on I'm going to try and post brutally blunt because nobody can read between lines around here and apparently really are concerned what a guy who calls himself "nobody" thinks.

Edit: In retrospect it's kind of narrow minded to base a bias on a ...group? of people based solely on their activities that happen to pass in front of me on these forums.

Most of the people doing what you're complaining about aren't even furries.

Yeah, every fandom is like this; a handful of weirdos among a huge amount of otherwise normal people who just like something you don't.
Also, "I don't like them because of how they react when I bash them" is still piss-poor reasoning, because those reactions wouldn't happen if the hatred towards them wasn't there in the first place.
Granted the thread in question wasn't really "bashing" so it doesn't apply much here, but I mean it as a point in general. You're not the first person to use this reasoning, I've seen it used it cases of much harsher threads.

[Mr.Noßody]

You're not the first person to use this reasoning, I've seen it used it cases of much harsher threads.

No no, that's not my reasoning at all.
Basically my distaste toward furries begins and ends with the ones who are "obnoxiously furry". I'm sure you could pick a few out of the group here. Now, I could care less what you do in your spare time. Hell, it's none of my business. But when somebody goes out of their way to emote their furdom is where my tolerance ends.
Sure it might be a one bad apple spoils the bunch scenario, but I tend to be no nonsense so my leniency is as flexible as uncooked pasta.

I can see why you think that though. I was using that scenario as an example of people taking stuff too far. If somebody goes out of their way to say "I don't like _____.", it tends to fall in the same group. "Obnoxious". Bashing them is normally justified.

[Headcrab Zombie]

No no, that's not my reasoning at all.

Yeah I didn't mean to direct it towards you, it's just a point in general, there definitely are people who do follow this logic, I've seen it happen

the ones who are "obnoxiously furry". I'm sure you could pick a few out of the group here.

Depends on your definition of "obnoxious"
Some people just don't want to see furry research plastered everywhere, and that's completely fine, i don't either. But some people throw a fit and complain over 75*75 avatars of completely innocent cartoon animals, or anything anthro posted relevantly in creativity. And then others are in between

And again, the behavior you were complaining about was mostly committed by non furries. And they weren't "attacking" him for disliking furries, they were "attacking" him for stuffposting and trolling.

Sure it might be a one bad apple spoils the bunch scenario, but I tend to be no nonsense so my leniency is as flexible as uncooked pasta.

Yeah, every fandom has their "bad apples"
But saying you hate them is kinda wasting your breath cuz it kinda goes with saying; even the people in that fandom don't like them. When you say to do, it's easy to twist your words (intentionally or not, by yourself or other people) to sound like you hate them all and generalize, and then other people overhear, make a decision on that, and then hate a group that they really don't know.

I can see why you think that though. I was using that scenario as an example of people taking stuff too far. If somebody goes out of their way to say "I don't like _____.", it tends to fall in the same group. "Obnoxious". Bashing them is normally justified.

Are you talking about furries, or the people complaining about them being annoying? Both options are confusing to me, if it's the former it's confusingly worded and would mean you completely ignored my point, I'm leaning towards the latter but it seems like too much of a 180 from your previous stance

[Mr.Noßody]

Obnoxious in my terms is as little as having an avatar. Just my bias. Anything that can label you.

I do generalize all groups. Kind of shallow on my part, I know.

Last part was me explaining my reasoning why you came to the first conclusion off my other post and was open to all groups.

But this back and forth has to stop. I literally don't want to put this much effort into explaining every single thing I say.

[Headcrab Zombie]

Every group uses avatars to express their interest. There has to be an existing distaste to connect to the avatars, otherwise there's nothing to separate one group's avatars from another's. And saying "my distaste begins and ends with obnoxiousness such as avatars" doesn't leave room for that connection.

[Mr.Noßody]

See, the fact that this conversation is still going I'd call borderline obnoxious.

[DestroyerOfBlocks]

i dont think anyone should feel handicapped for furry hate thats like hating yourself for breathing and eating

[Headcrab Zombie]

See, the fact that this conversation is still going I'd call borderline obnoxious.

And you think I'm not annoyed? This is one thread. Lately there's been what seems like a constant stream of  "which fandom is worse" or "what's the deal with furries?" type threads. People are more vocal about hating groups than the groups themselves are.

This entire conversation could have been "one post and done" if you could just give a legit reason for hating, that's all I've been asking for. But all I get is stuff like "because of their complaining at OP" which wasn't even furries, or "because of their avatars" which isn't a sensible root reason. It's sensible if there's an existing hatred to connect the avatar to, but without that, it's just a picture.

If you can't give a rational reason for hating, then maybe you should reevaluate your hated. You've already called it "shallow" and "narrow minded" yourself. No one is asking you to like it, or even to not find it weird as hell. But there's a difference between "finding the subject weird" and "hating the people"

If you think the exchange is obnoxious why do you continue responding lol

Can you not control yourself?

This is a really dumb reason to consider people obnoxious.
There are plenty of fandoms on the forums who have avatars reflecting their fandom, some having lots of members, some having few.

There are plenty of people with Blockheads, or Anime characters, or Fallout icons, and even a few Metal Slug avatars (mine included).
None of it is anymore obnoxious than having your own original avatar not associated with a fandom.


By your standards, anyone who shows any connection to a fandom is obnoxious. And if that's all it takes to annoy you, then presumably you would be happy if no one ever mentioned any of the things they like ever.
Which would just be an awful place to hang around in if we can't discuss anything we like. It sounds like it's your problem more than anyone elses, really.

[Mr.Noßody]

And he's the one who started it, lmao.

Are you serious?
I say something somebody doesn't agree with and it always seems to turn into a debate about "what I meant".
Should I just take speculation to the face or should I try and clarify, because either way I apparently lose to you people.

Of course my reasoning for disliking them is a dumb one, Ive already stated that. But it doesn't change the fact its what I think. If what I think bothers you so much either I should just never post, or you should just ignore me.

And people wonder why I hate everything.
