I've never understood the furry hate. People treat it as a kink akin to someone being into taking a shit on your stomach. Except somehow worse.
It's not my thing, but I've known people who are into it and they've all been nice people. I hung out with a bunch of them one of the times I was working at a con and they were fun people to hang around when they were out of their fursuits. And yeah, I didn't quite know how to react to them when they were in the fursuit, but I just stayed friendly. That seemed to be fine with them.
For me at least, I'm uncomfy with like, how close furry's rejected Disney mascot kink is to a beastiality kink. Not to say they're even that close! I'm surely oversensitive here! But I think that's where my overall lack of pure acceptance comes from.
It's goofy to me that the people out here like "fuck yeah, that fox with anime eyes is sexy."
I try not to be a hater, but I have trouble with this scene so I let it be. "Consenting adults; none of my business."
It's okay to not understand something someone else is super into. The issue comes when you judge them to be lesser than you for it. And when you use them as an object of derision.
There are plenty of people out there who will never understand homosexuality. Even find it disgusting. And if they just kept their mouths shut about it and treated gay people the same as they did anyone else, the world would be a better place.
