My beef with furries is entirely my own derangement and has everything to do with beserkers. No I don't want to turn into an anthropomorphic bear, I want to embody a bear driven mad which is to say go apeshit hit someone with a yard implement and sacrifice them to an ancient god. If you call me a bear because of my weight and general looks I am going to hit you with a shovel and steal one of your kidneys.

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but for the majority of furries, their fandom is at least party sexual in nature with over 70% of furries reporting they they view furry porn. Personally, I find that disgusting and I feel that the furry community's constant need for validation detracts from the seriousness of LGBT issues at large. I may be wrong in my judgements, but the claim that furries are just people with a hobby is an attempt to sweep an inconvenient truth under the rug.
I have literally never seen anyone claim being a furry is just a hobby lmao. Yes, it's sexual. Who gives a shit?
Then we do not have the same experience. From my perspective, people have been claiming for years that the sexual aspect of the furry community is only popularized by a vocal minority and that most furries are just individuals interested in a hobby. If that isn't your stance, then you and I have no disagreement.

And the overt sexual displays in public places at Pride events don't? That is objectively much more damaging to the attempts by the queer population to not be seen as deviant sex freaks by the general population.
The irony is that most people who wear fursuits don't perform sex acts with them, while you won't be able to find a single person at pride wearing bondage gear who will tell you that what they're wearing is never 'utilized' in their bedroom.
Singling out furries in this way makes no sense, you're just personally squicked by it and trying to rationalize that feeling.
P.S. Is a Star Trek fan not a 'legitimate' fan if they lust over Seven of Nine or any of the other characters?

Yes. That is harmful too.

I did say that I personally find it disgusting. My ability to reason is not somehow tainted by my opinions.

I never claimed that furries don't like anthropomorphic animals if they view furry porn.
