1. La Tesis Principal: Odio Furry como Homofobia Velada.
La idea central recurrente es que el odio hacia los furries es una forma socialmente más aceptable de expresar homofobia. Al ser una comunidad con una gran proporción de miembros LGTBQ+, se convierte en un blanco fácil para atacar a este colectivo sin enfrentar las repercusiones sociales de la homofobia abierta.
- I have said it before ill say it again: furry hate is thinly veiled homophobia. Its an easy way to hate on a largely queer community but people just wanna plug their ears and buy into the anti lgbt rhetoric.
- Furry hate is literally homophobia with extra steps people can’t publicly hate gay people anymore because they’ll become social pariahs if they do so, so instead they direct their hate towards a disproportionately queer group as a scapegoat.
- Furry hate is just a more socially acceptable form of homophobia/transphobia, change my mind.
- It made a lot more sense to me when i realized that furry hate was mostly just socially acceptable homophobia.
- Literally just homophobia. An attack on furries is an attack on queer people. Full stop.
2. Raíces Históricas y Lenguaje del Odio.
Varios usuarios señalan que el origen de este fenómeno se remonta a los primeros foros de internet como Something Awful y 4chan. El lenguaje utilizado, como el insulto "furfag", establece un vínculo directo e histórico entre el odio a los furries y la retórica homofóbica.
- It's insane how some people try and act like furry hate isn't just extremely thinly veiled homophobia, considering the go to insult for, like, decades was "furfag".
- Everybody hates it when i say that anti furry ideas started on the somethingawful forums as a socially acceptable alternative to homophobia, but it's the truth. Even language like "yiff in hell furfag" mirrors historic anti gay sentiments.
- In 2007 i got called a "fur f*g" to my face so much for drawing furry art. Even back then i knew it was thinly veiled homophobia.
- Sa did grow up enough to issue a kind of apply/admission that the anti-furry stuff was mostly just homophobia in a cheap costume. Meanwhile 4chan is now owned by a guy with active ties to japanese far right politics.
3. Manifestaciones Modernas y Propaganda Política.
El uso de la comunidad furry como chivo expiatorio persiste en la actualidad, a menudo como parte de campañas de desinformación política. El bulo de las "cajas de arena en las escuelas" se cita como un ejemplo claro de cómo se utiliza el odio a los furries para promover una agenda anti-trans y homofóbica más amplia.
- The old "the kids are identifying as cats and pooping in litter boxes" shit from years ago is back (or never really left) going after furries is always just thinly veiled homophobia and transphobia.
- Harassing furries online has for some time been a socially-acceptable form of queerbashing, especially in the time between open homophobia becoming passé and the start of the right-wing campaign of hate against us trans people. In politics, see: "litterboxes in schools" bs.
- God, the litterbox hoax really gave the game away on how using furries for a punching bag is just a vehicle for mainstreaming transphobia and homophobia, didn't it? and there are still liberal chuds on this site who don't want to believe they're just embracing fascist propaganda.
4. Contraargumentos y Complejidades del Fandom.
Algunas publicaciones matizan la conexión, argumentando que no toda la crítica hacia los furries es homofobia. Se mencionan problemas reales dentro de la comunidad, como la presencia de depredadores sexuales, nazis o zoófilos, como una fuente de aversión legítima. También se distingue entre el acoso y la opresión sistémica.
- What bothers me is the people who try to draw an equivalence between "discomfort with furries" and "homophobia" because, while there certainly were homophobic people who thought furries sucked, the original impetus for people not wanting furries around was that a lot of them were creeps / sex pests.
- Naw i'm gonna be real with you, yes alotta furry hate is still just homophobia but to the average general public, too many zoophiles been outed. Ppl just suspect a majority of furries as sickos. Many famous ones got uncovered as child predators too in my generation and since.
- The furry fandom still has a big problem with nazis and zoophiles who engage in subtle transphobia and homophobia when they are in power.
- So much bad discourse results from people not understanding that discussions of oppression are discussions of power structures, not just individual feelings. It's not as simple as, "i was insulted for being a furry, therefore furryphobia is a type of systemic oppression like homophobia.".
