"How we talk about poly people" thread reminds me that I often notice and occasionally point out that many people talk about furries in almost *exactly* the way that people they hate talk about queer people and somehow experience no cognitive dissonance about this.

this made rounds a few months back but there would be no cognitive dissonance if the furry hate is just a mask for queer hate that's more acceptable in the open, since furries are disproportionately LGBTQhttps://medium.com/@soatok/if-you-hate-furries-youre-anti-lgbt-cce35a948a57 …
Maybe, but I don't think that's what's going on in most of the cases I've personally encountered (which are generally not at the level of saying they *hate* furries)
