Furries

Are they accepting? Are they too tolerant?

Are they accepting? Are they too tolerant?

Jan 11, 2019

The fandom overall is rather welcoming of anyone regardless of race, gender, orientation, interests, or other hobbies. This is what I would call "intolerantly tolerant". 

But some furs are completely different and reject people without reasoning. So yes, the fandom can be too welcoming and let bad people in like those who are Neo-Nazis but there will be those who say "this is bad, this is wrong, get it out of here". 

And a good lot of those who reject it will put out anything that is different from them. Another example would be the Kero situation that I will go into detail with at another time. 

Here is a small summary: Kero the wolf is a popufur who was accused of harassing his dog until it died of kidney failure in January of 2017. He was also accused of using roadkill for his own 'personal needs' I'll call it. 

No one really knows if he did it, but here's were the welcoming part of the fandom steps in. There are plenty of furs who admitted to being into the things Kero is [supposedly] into, or at least they were lying for attention, and actually started liking him more. And there are his loyal fans who love him dearly and don't care if he did. But then there are the three other groups left. 

The 'he-definitely-did-it-and-needs-to-be-locked-up-right-now' group, the 'I-do-not-like-him-personally-so-he-must-go' group, and the 'who-cares-it-does-not-affect-me' group. 

Loads of people sent Kero messages on Twitter and Telegram that they would stab him, that they would kill him, that he should kill himself, that he's a terrible person. Half of these furs don't even have enough evidence to prove him innocent or prove him guilty but they join the bandwagon of death threats and hatred. 

These are furs at their most primitive state. Let's take Bolt Mutt for example. In a video, he addressed people who said he was misrepresenting the fandom by smoking a bong and talking about his experiences in a movie with a brony (yikes) and brings up the fact that "misrepresenting the fandom is supporting people who actively [harassed] their dog to death. Y'know?" 

He then says that being trans-phobic is misrepresenting the fandom but actually, there are a great number of people who support Kero the Wolf and don't like trans people for good reasoning. These are people in the fandom. That is what these furs do. 

It isn't misrepresenting, it's actually revealing the nitty-gritty parts of the fandom by scraping the bottom of the barrel. Not all furries are nice, and not all of them are mean, but they all have their opinions that should be respected like normal people in society. 

I'm not saying that we're all really jerks in disguise, but we tend to go to the extremes. There are thousands of furs who go to charity events and raise money for good causes. Let me remind you all that there are 250,000+ confirmed furries on this globe and that just speaking for maybe 1000 isn't misrepresenting the fandom. 

That would be like Donald Trump for example ( I don't like him ;-; )-- he technically isn't misrepresenting the USA, but he's speaking for a good lot of racists and angry people. 

The furry fandom is no different. We're all just human, we all have our opinions, and where opinions differ, it can spark conflict.

Evil unseen beings want to manifest themselves in people. People end up being a mouth piece for those beings, saying what those beings want them to say not even knowing it. Those beings make people think they are saying the truth, not saying the truth. People need to stop and think: am I talking like the Master? There is somthing wrong in the soul of whoever that is not talking like the Master. People need to evaluate themselves. People need to purify themselves. That is work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Don't get that backwards. I am sensitive to that, counseling people. Jesus is a counselor. People are mammals too. We are made in God's image. Jesus wants to see himself in that image. Jesus is not a guilt giver. Christs enemies did not talk like Jesus. Christs enemies did not tell the truth regarding Jesus. Christs enemies could not hear the gentle unseen Father when Jesus talked. People would not have crucified Jesus had they not allowed devils to be in their mind making them to be spiritually deaf and blind. They made Jesus out to be what he was not. It is the same way with Kero. kero talks like Jesus blessing people with his words. Furries need to do the same thing. Rob unseen devils of a mouth piece to talk through.
Kero talks in the polar opposite to condemning furries. Kero has a happy free country spirit, not even thinking about hurting anyone or anything. Kero counsels people to be at peace, one with another. Jesus did the same thing. Hear that, praising Kero for wanting people to be peacful one with another. Devouring, consuming, conflict loving devils will leave. Devils look for things to curse. Jesus looks for things to praise, edifying people, lifting them up. Jesus warned people who wanted his peacful self to be dead. Final reward is not life - life, like the church teaches with eternal torment. That makes people think they are like God when they torment people. God is happy when he hears his loving self through a person.
