I noticed that some people just have an extreme hatred for furries.
I have a friend and I would not call him a generally intolerant person at all, he knows I am homosexual and never cared unlike all other people I have ever told about that(around 6 people), but he has an extreme hatred for anything furry. Like on the level of “All furries should be killed” not the usual shit we can read on the internet.
I do not understand it, but there is really no way to get him to any not as extreme standpoint.
They’re seen as acceptable targets, and the fandom doesn’t exactly have the best history of dealing with problematic members.
It goes a bit far though, obviously, given the whole “were subject to a literal chemical weapons attack and no one cared” thing.
