descrimination?

Recently I have lost a friend because he dislikes furies very strongly. During our first hour class he resolved to tell me that all curries were damned to hell and that athiests should beelined up or shot. Of caurs this offended me and his resolve because be lost the argument is to tell the school I'm gay. I may not be gay but I don't see the problem with it and I'm a cross dresser I suppose my point is if any of u have ever had this same problem...__

Yeah it really is unfortunate that there are people like that out there. I would just ignore them and not associate them if they are going to be like that; they're not worth your time.

Sounds like he's the one with the problem, honestly. Some people are just really unreasonable when it comes to disagreements. I hope he doesn't stir up too much chaos at your school, try to keep a cool head regardless of whatever he tries to do next.

sounds like he isn't worth being your friend. you are better than him in this case my friend

i have had this problem before but it was with really close friend of mine. after awhile they stopped being so against it when i explained what i was. After a while they came back around.  And if he does continue to do this, he is not worthy of your friendship.

i tried explaining it to him, but in his eyes people with tails are rong. i dont undestand how on earth he would see fit to explain all of this in front of me.

just say that it's something you like and he needs to get over it. If he can't then he doesn't sound like the kind of friend you want to keep anyway.
But yeah, I've stopped talking to people because they couldn't accept one thing about me and thought that was enough to end an entire friendship. It sucks when it happens but I don't want friend that will get hung up on one stupid little thing and just forget about everything else that we get along about.

[Alison Marie]

i see...i wonder if i should talk to the school counselor about it?

in my experience school counselors are zero help I say cut him loose, a friend is somebody who accepts you for who you are, no matter what.

[Alison Marie]

mm..i agree. ive already deleted his contact information. and removed him from my xbox live...not much else i can do, i mean im stuck with him till the end of the year. hes in my tech and art class

One thing I hate is that no non-furry can say there are sick furries without stereotyping the entire community. Even if they say only 90% of the community are sick, which is a huge exageration, they can't say it without pretty much labeling the entire community as scum. And the worst part is that there's no reasoning with these guys because their life depends on being right. They will scrape the bottom of the barrel for reasons why they are right and that 90% of furries are sick and the other 10% suck as well cause they're trying to argue with a MORON! You can never get them to say "Oh, I guess you have a point there." No, no matter how much you argue with them, they will never admit they're wrong. You could even say that furries are no different from anyone else and that doesn't help. Too many labels like "Furries are the only ones who complain. Furries are the only ones who are sick. Blah blah blah." Sometimes guys like these anger me more than trolls do.

But honestly, most furry haters are like this: They never see reason. They only see the dark side of the community, even most non-furries do. Honestly, I think it's depressing.

i have to agree, over the hollidays most of my inamideat family had disowned me because they are super religous and bible thumpers and they absolutly hate furries, my step grandma desided to give me a duffle bag for x-mas instead of her original pressent, a set of legos beause she doesnt like furries. same with my unkle who decided that furries go agianst the church

That really just angers me. How is it freaking against religious stuff or whatever?? It's just a darn interest!!! Nothing more than being a video gamer or artist!!! Ugh, people are so stupid 

[Alison Marie]

ya i know people are just scared of things that are different. though i dont understand why to be honost my mom doesnt care, my brother and sister doesnt care but when it comes to inemidiant family they show no support and no intrest. they dont even want to hear what i have to say about the fandom.

Haha, good joke.

On a more serious, note. The people who immediately connect the furry fandom to bestiality are among the most annoying of people. They have no intention to listen to logic or reason, normally. The best course of action of course is to ignore them. They are hardly worth your time if they're going to hate you over an interest.
