Bullying Poll

[LegitlyLeo]

Hey all you fellow furry friends! I just wanted to take a poll to see how many people have been bullied for being a furry.

I've been, my friends don't like furies have made fun of me for being one. I just try to shut it out since I love the fandom

At 6' 1" and 237lbs i tend not to have bullying problems

Ive been bullied before when some people found out I was a furry.Well shame on them because they will never get to met the true people we really are.

[MrRazot]

I was bullied for a few years. I managed to stand up to him though. He's a right ass, but he's in America now or something like that.

I've never had a problem with it, but I'm also not "openly" furry.

I don't suit or wear anything that makes me stand out as a furry, but I've also never denied it when I've been asked if I am.

It also helps being on the "I'm bulky, and know how to hurt you" side.

[LegitlyLeo]

Wish I was one the "bulky side"hehehe, but i have my friends and thats all I really need.

Being a veteran and the fact that I'm 6'2" and around 250lbs, I don't see much at all.

^lucky! I was always bullied in school. That is until a nice girl in NC taught me how to fight. THANK YOU, LUCANNA!

well i was bullied so much in school half the things that have been tried on me can shock you i wont say to much about one because it wont be forum friendly very much but lets just say it was not a good thing to do in a wood workshop and i wasn't hurt but i was kicked from the class because i was made out to be the one doing stuff and then this is a classic a teacher for 3 years tried to make me leave the school i graduated got my cert and that teacher left and trust me they took the laptop the school supplied to me so i took my own even tho they tried to take it from me they knew i was stubborn so in short yes i was bullied and no one knew im a furry

Well cause I'm in university, people in this culture are more into experimenting and experiencing with life, so being a furry is not exactly too unusual, it is but not enough to get bullied about it

I never got bullied, mostly because I went to the right schools. Although, it might have been because I talked about guns a lot. I don't know. But in my current school, Terra environmental research institute (you might see em at VEX competitions, look for the lemons) , bullying is nonexistent. Hell, the worst graffiti I've seen was on one of those "hip tips" it said "respect sexual orientation" or some such, and the graffiti said "and gender identity!" With little hearts and stuff.

I've been bullied by my mom, dad, step mother, well... Just about everyone I've met. Not for being a furry, but a Transgender Girl. I'm feeling kinda hopeless tbh.

[LegitlyLeo]

Nobody should ever go through bullying, much less from their own family. Just know someone is out there that can help take away your darkness and make you feel better.

It must be hard to be furry in America, knowing how much crap comes out from television about our fandom, and even how much the internet talks horribly about it.

I live in France, and luckily people don't know them that much. The term "furry" is used for cosplay like tails or ears.

Only a few people who watched that "Salut les geeks" video featuring one psychopath pretending to be furry in a very disturbing way, think of this community as weird.

But thanks to the members of the french fandom, that are great phylosophists and excellent at explaining things to other people, the fandom isn't seen as badly as in other countries. In fact, all of what people know about furries is their weird animal costumes and meet-ups.

People just get on with their lives and leave furries to their furry activities, without making a big fuss about it. When someone hates one furry for some reason, they only hate on that person, they don't start hating all the other people associated with the fandom.

I don't get bullied or teesed at school, just got a few remarks from two idiots who like to mock people just because they don't like the same things as them.
