You'll come to notice we furries are more than a fandom we're a geat big supportive family with lots of hugs to give.

That's why I don't call it the furry fandom anymore. I prefer to call it the furry family. ^_^

Glad you feel at home here. It's always nice to see others happy.  0:)

Most furries are generally nice, especially the non-perverted ones.

OMG!! YOU'RE A (INSERT SUBCULTURE)!!!

Furries, Goths, Emo, Metal Heads, Punks, D&D players or any alternative hobby, lifestyle or 'nerdish' interests have ALWAYS been the target of childish hatred & mickey takin'. I think it's not as bad 'ere in the UK, but from what I've seen & read I gather that high schools in the US can be pretty vicious. High school has always been about findin' acceptance & bein' part of the 'in crowd'. Those who are lower on the social food chain are fair game for these superficial idiots. The more you react to the finger pointin' & the insults, the more they'll do it.

When I was at school I was ripped for bein' a metaller, playin' Dungeons & Dragons & a nerd. I just joked along with them & made a few self-deprecatin' jokes. The funnier I made them, the more the haters left me alone 'cos not only was I funny, but I obviously didn't care what they thought. It was hard at first, but well worth it ;)

A couple of peeps at work know I'm a furry, but the reaction I got when they found out was "meh"... no one cared 'cos they're adults ;) Remember mate, you're only gonna be in high school a few years & then you'll never 'ave to see the idiots again ;)

It seems typical of haters and hate groups that the stronger their hate, the more unwilling they are to let go of their prejudices. I think the best example of what true furries are like is this forum. It's why I stay here. :)

If they harrass you again, I would simply ask them if they'd be willing to learn the truth about furries. If the answer is yes, then there's hope. If the answer is anything sarcastic, antagonistic, or anything else negative, then don't waste any more time or energy on them. I'm amused by the fact that the only thing I'm intolerant of is intolerance. :P

Exactly. To be honest, I don't think its because we are 'odd' But that we are in the minority....

If it were me, I'd totally embrace all their hate and be like "yeah, I'm pereverted. but like you aren't?" I mean, honestly, considering the amount of pron and pervertedness in today's schools is it really so wrong that some of those perverts are furry? Really? Why is the label furry any different from labeling any other fetish? How is it any worse?

But, it is not a fetish, it is a lifestyle and my response would be more of a joke to my haters than anything, since I answer to hate with jokes. Other people here have already answered well and appropriately, trust what they said.  ;)

You could always tell them to grow up, threaten with a discrimination suit of bring up some dirt on them. All completely legal and all effective. To varying degrees.

since they know that you are a furry, tell them that furries are not a bunch of perverts. Include yourself saying that you are not a pervert, etc...

Just tell em furries are people who enjoy anthropomorphic art, roleplay, music, cartoons ect :D You can also explain to them that every fandom has its pervy side... It should work, it not, than forget them and let them live in ignorance...
