Holy shit, this point, this does not get mentioned enough.
It’s every bit as disingenuous as the “If you believe women should be treated fairly then you’re a Feminist!” dogshit as if Feminism has a monopoly on the concept of respect or fair treatment (it doesn’t), even as they act like absolute cretins and hide behind their label to justify their naked hatred for men and/or ambitions for a matriarchal society.
Furries are much the same, must be said. It’s reached the point where even showing fondness for a piece of media involving anthromorphic characters, such as Loony Toons, Chronicles of Redwall or fuck, even just the Narnia movies, invites suspicions of being a furry. And God help you if you try to make a piece of art or media these days involving any, you won’t even make it past the concept stage before the internet starts up the “furrybaiting” narrative.
