except not really. We don't have to treat anyone who shoves their sexuality in other peoples' faces for any reason with any respect. Bros starting out every sentence with details of their sexual exploits is also be very annoying. The difference is that they don't; it may be core to them, core to what they do, but if they start off every sentence with some lurid sexual detail then they are quickly classified as douchebags and suitably mocked.
I don't really give a fuck about the porn. Some of it's hot, most of it is 110% WTF. But the thing is, if it stays in the 1 furry thread or to furry boards then it's fine, I don't care, I don't have to look at it. It is the insertion of furry porn, furry drama, or furry opinions into topics that have nothing to do with being a furry in any way shape or form, as well as the public displays of disturbing sexuality from people you'd never want to watch fuck anyway that really grew the furry hatred.
Gay, Straight, Bi, BDSM, wearing ones' sexuality on ones' sleeve for any kind of preference or fetish is ludicrous, dull, and displays a stunning lack of any kind of social graces. It is not bad that you have these preferences or enjoy the porn. That's fine, that's cool, that even jibs with *chan culture in a certain respect. It's when that behavior becomes your only talking point as a person, and a talking point that you can't help but bring up in other discussions, that people really lose respect for you.
Ask any femanon what the worst, creepiest, greasiest pickup line she ever had was and after her explanation you'll have a good understanding of what it was like dealing with these people on a day to day basis. A best, they were decently normal people who were far too open about how much and what kind of porn they looked at. At worst, they were potential sex offenders who were one public indecency charge away from a straight jacket.
It's about having the social graces to not force that lifestyle on others. The reputation furries currently have was earned entirely by proponents of the fandom, much like the bronies. The problem with it is much the same problem as a lot of the asexuality, pansexuality and similar groups; putting "asexual" on your profile page does not automatically grant you anything in terms of respect, general knowledge and intelligence, or even reasonable debate. It doesn't give you free reign to act however you see fit because it falls in line with the fandom. And if you just so happen to take your significant other out into the streets and start fucking them with a dragon dildo while wearing a fox suit, it does not protect you from ridicule and mockery.
Basically, if you think that you can just dump your porn into someone elses' lap in every time you talk to them and expect them to be okay with it, you are wrong. The reputation was earned by the furries and I see no trouble letting it stand as a reminder to all those that follow. It is not about shaming people for their sexual preferences, it's about the fact that these people have done things that should make them ashamed of themselves. It's a very fine line to walk but the difference is there.
