Because a lot of furry hate is just socially acceptable homophobia.

I don’t think the broader populace has any link between the two of them in their minds.

…TIL furries have any relation to gay people (except I don’t actually believe they do)

There is a significantly higher proportion of LGBTQ+ representation within the furry community than the general populace, and it makes sense why. Fursonas are another way to explore sexual and gender identities in a safe way, and furry communities tend to be pretty accepting places.

This is just my opinion, but I see kink in the furry community criticized the same way I see kink at Pride events criticized.

Correlation does not signal causation

I don’t know what you mean using “kink” this way, but the general population is not aware of this connection and thus it would only be a coincidence if what you’re saying is true. I mean, furries are kinda weird but I don’t get why they’re even a topic. I’ve never met one and I doubt I will. Being gay is probably ten times more common.

You do know that being gay and being furry ain’t mutually exclusive right, but I guess whatever justification you can find for letting your true feelings out.

Might wanna practice reading more carefully. I just said they are two separate and unrelated things. And here you are acting like I said they are one and the same and in a homophobic way or something. Bizarre.
