I used to hate furries back in highschool, mainly because I didn't understand it and all my peers hated them too. At some point I made the connection that just because people don't understand lgbtq people (something i do understand) doesn't mean they have to hate them, and I took that to heart.
I still don't quite understand it all, but I've become way more accepting. Live your life and be who you want, it's not my place to judge.
I learned about furries on a random off-topic thread on a forum I used to go to in the late 90s. I was still pretty young, but maaaan was I confused about the whole “furry” thing. So many people seemed to hate them! But the art was kinda cute.
Flash forward 30 years and I’m usually wearing furry shit when I go out, even to the office. My partner and I go to furry cons now. We’re not into suits or anything, but the people are weird and awesome and super accepting and overall very fun and cute. And fuck me, do they party hard. Anime nerds and furries party second hardest, only under rave kids.
