I know I'm going to get a LOT of flak for this along with people arguing stupid points on both sides....

Why all the hate? I'm not just going by what I've seen on the forums, but what I've seen on the forums is partially influencing this.

Are people just flipping **** because they don't understand why somebody would see a more animal side to them or watch a TV show that they dont fit the audience for? I am a brony, and I've been called many things including a "gay menace to society that has nothing to contribute by sitting in my mother's basement.". I mean really, are people just so ignorant that they hate what they can't understand and decide to delude themselves to believe a false reality in order to make them feel holier than what they can't understand?

I'm not trying to get anyone to quit hating, I'm just trying to see WHY people are hating. If you hate bronies or furries, tell me why.

Also, I'm not trying to cause trouble, so don't start any. If I've said anything offensive, tell me, if you have something that can actually contribute, say it, if you're going to cause trouble and flame me or others then I would please ask you to not say anything at all. Thank you.

there's a billion reasons why to hate them, but the most glaring reason is quite simple really,
In the deepest and most darkest reaches of the internet, furries have been known to--for lack of a better term--do really sick and ****** up ****. Pushing pro-furry beliefs onto their children (imagining being forced by your parents as a child--despite not wanting to--to wear a cat jumpsuit), sexual pet abuse while dressed up as a dog, etc, it's terrible, but then again the argument can be said that a few rotten apples spoil the bunch. as there are right wings and left wings in politics, you've got your moderates as well as your extremes, you've got mega violent muslims, and hard-working, passive muslims; baby eating chineses who assemble your cheaply made chair with lead paint, and the hard working chinese who built the foundations of this country.
Basically when it comes to furries and "bronies" you've got potentially invasive people with potentially invasive and illogical beliefs, attempting to proliferate in a moral world that either isn't ready for them, or doesn't want them
In my opinion, I want to believe the latter though, because extreme bronies and furries scare the living **** out of me

Wise words of a Wise man, but, how do they scare you? The bronies atleast, you gave me a good enough reason for the furries.

It was interesting hearing some sensible replies for a change. I still cringe at the idea that this question was asked in a straight face.

Seeing as it's gotten late, I'll just leave you gentlemen with a question of my own; how do you convince somebody that they have a problem when they believe everybody else has the problem and they're fine? Hitler probably thought his views were generally decent, too.

And after invoking yet another meme, I'll start the countdown to when Garth shows up.

Good luck with your answers, Aresfiend. And good luck helping him see the light, everybody else.

You just had to mention Hitler, didn't you? Thread's closed per Godwin's Law.
