    I'm a furry so what?

    So I went out shopping with my mother today, for groceries. I did manage to keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn't show any SC behavior....
    I chatted to her about how when I move out and make enough money I'll have a fursuit of my fursona made for costume parties and halloween. My mom knows I'm a furry, since me, my older sister, and my little brother are all furries! I'm more into it for the fact I like to write and read, my sister likes to sew, and I'm not sure about my brother.
    Anyways!
    Unfortunately I was over heard by some middle aged woman, looked to be older than my mom cue this conversation.
    Me=
    W:Woman
    Mom:Mommy dearest.
    W: You let your daughter dress up as an animal and f*** animals?!
    Mom&Me:
    Mom: As far as I'm aware, my daughter doesn't do that stuff with animals.(I have been teased over the years cause I love to hang on animals XD)
    W: How do you know that?! She's a disgusting person who is going to burn in hell!
    Me: I think the christian furries would say something about that...
    W: Christian furries?! All furries are horrible and disgusting! Running around having sex with animals!
    Mom: You're such a closed minded old bat! I bet you still think homosexuals don't exist and that women should stay at home and take care of the kids! Why don't you shove off before I call the police!(Hollow threat, but my mom is an ex search and rescue worker, she might have those connections.)
    W: Well I never!

    Really, all this cause I just like being an animal who can walk and talk like a human...

    Doesn't help these people see that one episode of CSI and think they know everything.

      Sigh, yeah I know how you feel. Stupid CSI episode. I made the mistake of trying to explain Furries to someone at work; now just about every week he has to make some stupid comment/question about it.

      P.S. your mom sounds awesome!

            Wow, your mom is awesome! Sadly, I am the only furry in my family, and while they accept me that way, they'd certainly not defend me.

            And no, I don't **** animals x.x I just relate better with animal mannisms and social behaviors than humans.

                Firstly, Joyius, your mom is awesome for sticking up for you like that and telling that crazy old bat off. Secondly, it pisses me off the way people will butt into conversations and things that are otherwise none of their fracking business. Any chance to bitch and moan, I guess. *fish slaps the close-minded, not-so-innocent bystander*

                  You know, I can understand why people have prejudice against furries. For every level, friendly, not-weird member of furdom, there seems to be at least two weirdos that reinforce the stereotypes.

                  But geeze, if you're going to spout hateful things, don't do it to someone's face. You don't know that they won't let you have it with both barrels. (And I'm not just talking verbally.)

                    No. No there aren't.

                    That whole "furries are the biggest freaks in fandom" shit is really annoying.

                    That's like watching a gay pride parade and deciding from that that nearly all gays are flamboyant queens who like to prance around in feather boas. It's selection bias at it's finest.

                    Honestly, aside from the shape of the ears, if you put a Trek con next to a furry con, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference based on the fans. Hell, half the attendees would be going to both, and some wouldn't even need to change costume.

                      Try going to a gamer based convention. Near as I can tell from having furry friends, the furries bathe regularly and male gamers seem to marinate themselves for prolonged periods of time.

                            Half? I think you're being generous. And yes, I've been to both, on a regular basis.

                            The "gamer funk" has become it own stereotype within fandom. At least in my experience, it seems to be more widespread than the "furvert" stereotype. Certainly not universal, but easier to find evidence of it....


                            I've been to (and been on staff for) scifi/fantasy cons, gaming cons, and furry cons, and without a doubt, the friendliest, most laid back congoers and staff have been at the furry cons. And trust me, I've seen far stranger things at the scifi and gamer cons than at the furry cons.

                              I'm really lost on the fact that she thinks furries want to have sex with animals. It's a different thing, right? I'm not being a smart-ass, I just thought furries were people who liked to dress up in their fursuits. I hope I'm not offending anyone. That lady was a judgemental idiot.
