The term "anti-furry" refers to individuals who hold a negative view or stance towards the furry fandom, a subculture that revolves around an interest in anthropomorphic animal characters. Anthropomorphism involves attributing human characteristics and traits to animals, creating characters that exhibit a blend of human and animal qualities. These characters can be found in various forms, including art, literature, animations, and role-playing.
On the other hand, some people may be "anti-furry" due to various reasons. People may have encountered zoophilias or hate about furries, leading them to form a negative opinion into the community. Or that they want the fandom gone for good
The origins of anti-furry sentiments can be challenging to pinpoint precisely, as negative attitudes towards various subcultures or interests can emerge at different times and for various reasons. The furry fandom itself has a long history dating back to the 1980s,
anti-furry sentiments started to emerge gradually as the furry fandom gained popularity and visibility. Some individuals might have been skeptical or critical of the concept of anthropomorphic animal characters, while others may have had negative experiences with certain members of the furry community, leading to generalizations about the entire group.
The advent of the internet and the rise of social media platforms provided a platform for discussions and debates about various subcultures, including the furry fandom. This increased visibility might have contributed to the spread of both positive and negative opinions about furries.
