Furry Hatred on IMVU

[Octavia]

Heh, i may be a simple furry but I have had some crude and racism towards furry types. on nights when im bored I usually go into chat now...talk about furry haters...I have met LOTS of people that hate furries...but some of them? Starts making me want to hunt humans the way they hunt us down...They say stuff like "OMG! you have a tail!?!" or "Ewwww...You smell like a dead carcass" or " STAY AWAY FROM ME!! I DON"T WANT YOUR FLEAS!!" well...you get my drift...can't we all just get along?? Hug a furry! Get to know one...or two...or EVEN MORE!

[Rhakshi]

not many humans would agree with that... But I know, it's annoying

[ephemral]

There aren't many that hate furs on IMVU.
Not like there would be on any other site that is.

[Octavia]

heh, here's the name of one furry hater...bandit149...go to his page he has a passion for hating us...im leaving him a mesage right now

[ephemral]

That's nice I guess.
However, the furry forums doesn't advicate any negative corespondance so please be careful about what you write this person.

Meh, you'll get used to it. It is irritating; but it makes me want to stand up for what I enjoy even more. xD

Ah yes, the infamous Bandit. I can only wonder what good it is to discriminate against furries, and avatars all together! Come to think of it... discrimination all together makes almost no sense.  :no:

Meh.. I might be rambling, but to stay on topic, I've had my share of furry hate on IMVU, as well. I remember one girl gifted me a bunch of stuff so I'd stop being a furry! -Gasp- The things people will do, I suppose.  :umm:

Honestly the best thing to do is ignore them. If they don't like furs, just disconnect. No big deal. They are just trying to bully you. If you ignore them they don't get any satsifaction. But if you try to harass them back it just riles them up more.

well it seems I've been quite lucky so far, haven't run into any furry-haters....yet. but in most cases the people you speak to just don't know what a furry is and some just don't care, hell some of the people i've chatted with wanted to get furry stuff for their avi after seeing me.
But like it's already been said just ignore the ones who do hate us, don't give them the satisfaction of arguing back.

Bah furry haters, can't live with them, probully could live quite happly with out them. Most of them are just stupid people who are illinformed, don't want to be informed, or just feel intimadated that you are so open about yourself that they simply must prove to the world they are right. Most people off the internet won't screw with you if you wander down the street in a fursuit. Because the internet gives you a certin amount of mystery, to the point where most people are braver. Besides it's just words on a screen. They only mean so much.

If you do encounter a furry hater, ignore them, for the most part they will give up. If not, then just act calmly and politely, nothing pisses someone off more then when you show no emotion towards them what so ever. And if that still doesn't work, block them or leave. Can't fix all the ignorance in the world.

Yea I have met a few people like that too...I met one yesterday as a matter of fact...they saw me...and she loved cats. She asked me how I got the outfit I said from the catalog. she bought one today...can't wait to see her in it .

  Oh Well, I am lucky too then ^^ Hope you get better comments.

That's definitely true. Why else do they continue their ways? Because all the furries they've met have fought back to an extent where the hater knows that we're giving in. That may sound weird or make no sense, but it's hard to explain ^^;

 One thing I noticed was the paranoia and distrust of new people joining furry.
I thought hey, this is what I like and it will be great!
Furry turned out to be a snobitorium to me...
They sit around like little old ladies in a retirement home, gab, and try to find something wrong with you and then ban.
Furry could be run ALOT better...
