    1. @purplephish20 Funny, same thing happened at the Exeter meet last month. Likewise, the furries there were typically pretty nice.

    3. @rotation @greydragon412 @scribble One (the first to arrive) came straight to us thinking we were the furry meetup, we explained things, within 15 minutes our numbers were equal. we got a couple brohoofs out of them, but 2 of them seemed to just give us all the death-stare and decided to stand 10 meters in the other direction after we explained who we were

      1. @purplephish20 Sounds like the typically anti-brony furry.

        1. @scribble @greydragon412 we split up, I ran into a handful of them again about 7:30 pm when me and one other went to morrissons to stock up on food for the night

        2. @scribble luckily the minority.

          1. @cavatina Though still more common than it should be.

            1. @scribble same with furry hating bronies.

              1. @cavatina Eeyup

                Sunday, 29-Apr-12 14:59:47 UTC from web
              2. @cavatina We are a fandom who glorifies a show about anthromorphical animals and we even adopt that in our language. I don't understand why there is this hatred...

                1. @hakupony I also dont understand the hatred going back the other way either, on the base of it we are all into abnormal stuff. Being in both fandoms i know this to be the case...

      2. @purplephish20 THEY gave YOU the deathstare? Sometimes I wonder what some people got on their minds...

      3. @purplephish20 There's quite a few furs who I used to consider friends who have now become very distant partly due to them being brony haters.

        1. @toksyuryel I've actually counted how many i;ve lost. I'm at 16 ._.

          Sunday, 29-Apr-12 15:01:20 UTC from web
          1. @cavatina My number is smaller, but only because I had fewer friends to begin with; I think the ratios are probably similar.

            Sunday, 29-Apr-12 15:04:55 UTC from web
            1. @toksyuryel Mmhm, most likely

    4. @greydragon412 I think that's the point; if it could be understood they could be reasoned with and learn not to hate eachother. Irrational hatred is irrational.

      Sunday, 29-Apr-12 15:04:09 UTC from web
      1. @toksyuryel hence the term IRrational Hatred.

    5. @greydragon412 I agree - the furry fandom is not inherently sexual. of course, there is sexual art as there is for every fandom - and MLP is indeed no exception.

    6. @greydragon412 Well the hatred toward furs has been around a lot longer and there's nothing unique about it from bronies, except perhaps that there is much less of it (this is perhaps helped by many of the big names either being furs themselves or coming from a background of hanging out with them).

      Sunday, 29-Apr-12 15:10:04 UTC from web
      1. @toksyuryel But it is even more unlogical if the hatred comes from a fan of anthromorpic ponies. Tis kind of is what the Furry Fandom is about as well.

        Sunday, 29-Apr-12 15:13:27 UTC from web
        1. @hakupony Yeah that's bizarre, but it largely stems from them just not knowing that that's what furry is about. Most people think furry is some kind of sexual fetish. And furs themselves are so divided and just as likely to troll eachother that it becomes next to impossible to actually get any real facts out there. It's all just a big mess.

    7. @greydragon412 I guess there is not much reason to discuss this between the two of us since we share the same opinion.

    8. @greydragon412 If you are interested in tag team mode for that, let me know :)
