| Furries are like the internet's (and possibly society as a whole) most hated fandom. And then there are weebs who aren't taken seriously by anyone (even themselves). And then there are all the weebs who hate furries. But I just thought about it real quick. Is there even a difference between these two groups? You got average weeb room which looks a little something like:  And your average furry is just vibin in a fursuit:  Sure, I guess one might say both interests are a little odd, but who cares? Both fandoms are just having fun liking their niche hobbies. No trouble. So why weebs hating on furries as everyone else does? Where is the love and support? I also searched "average weeb" and some unhealthy-looking guy came up. I guess one could say that furries are better off than weebs. And if you go on about degeneracy, both are equally matched (hentai and yiff). What do you think tho? Is this a reality people keep denying? or am I talking a ton of shit? |
| definitely talking shit. Did you hear about the furry who lost both of his hands after engaging in some weird fetish behavior? And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what furries are capable of. Just use your imagination, I'm sure you can fill in the blanks without me having to spell it out for you. |

| I guess theirs less hate for weebs cuz its getting more popular |

Yo, wait, is this actually real lol? But I mean even then, who is to say weebs aren't the same with erm... I will leave that to your imagination. |
| But there is. Some weebs are also furries and some aren't. |
| Excessive fandom is going to look similar regardless of the target of the fan. Some sports fans' rooms would look similar to that first image, just with pictures of the team(s) the person supports instead of waifus. As is usually the case, overindulgence in anything is bad. |
| First off, there's no WAY that image accurately depicts and "average" weeb's room. You know how much all that merch would cost? Most of us are blue-collar, minimum-wage-earning, schleps who only do the weeb thing as a hobby. That room is an obsessive otaku's room, and not representative of normal weebs who might pick up a coveted item on occasion, rather than spend every penny of their disposable income on anime merch. Secondly, furries as a group are hated because thinking you're actually an animal and/or wanting to fuck animals is straight up mental illness. Keep in mind that the weebs who are into some of the more morally questionable sides of the anime community, such as lolicon or NTR, are also stigmatized by other weebs. So it's not like we're all hypocrites who only hate furries while ignoring our own degeneracy. I don't really have a problem with furries if all they're doing is basically cosplaying as a cartoon animal, or writing fanfiction about cartoon animals. Anything further than that is just weird af. |
| 90% of the the internet's problems come from people treating fictional people like they're real and real people like they're fictional. |

| You really compared the weebs who not think of themselves as partially an anime characters ( I guess in majority?) with furries who have their fetishes and heard few times of rapes or damage they receive cause of the specific elements of their fetish x). No thanks. Oh btw no way that's an "average" room of a weeb (maybe posters but never met anyone in Poland who would have those posters tbh.) do you know how much are figurines? I am not willing to spend 2-15k+ of złotych for a single one, for that money I can just buy a new "monster" PC or a car/motorcycle... |
| These are not at all comparable. There's lots of weird fetish shit that goes on, and is normalized in the furry community. It's much easier to distance yourself from the fringe of the anime community, because it's an entertainment medium first and foremost. And neither of these images reflect the "average" person in either fandom. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| I think theres a bit of irony to weebs hating furries, when they're both misunderstood in similar ways. For example, does people assuming furries are into real animals ring any bells? Or even that all furries are into anthro characters sexually, when in reality a lot of them just like the designs. Is this even a big thing though? Weebs hating on furries? |
| when you put it that way, yeah. there's no difference. |
You have opened my eyes to the truth, man. Liking kemonomimi is only one step away from being a furry. Kraft Lawrence was just a closeted furry in the end. |
 |
| Just taking shit. Imma just say this: one of those fursuits buys you that whole room. |
on 
| well, no, because weebs are into to a clearly defined subsection of media, and furries are into dressing up as, pretending to be, and looking at porn of animals there's a big difference between those two, that's why furries are the punching bag of "fandoms" because they're hardly even a real fandom you didn't hear it from me though, because as a wise man once said, if furries can afford a three thousand dollar fursuit, they can afford a twenty dollar pipe bomb in my mailbox |
  |
| bro who cares 75% of both fandoms are just people enjoying shit.the rest pf the 25% are degenerate porn freaks (mal users) |
| OP, are you sure that's the hill you wanna die on? |
| Because the difference between snout lovers and nose lovers is greater than the difference between 3D lovers and 2D lovers. I say we purge the Satanic furry cult. |
 |
| Self-identifying as a weeb is more cringe than self-identifying as a furry at least. There's much less of a sense of self-deprecation among furries. They chose a descriptive word that makes sense and wear it with pride while 'weebs' like to insult themselves and their passion, which is already showcased by choosing 'weeb' as a moniker, which - unlike Otaku or other options anime fans could have selected - never meant anything close to 'passionate fan of animanga' but just 'irrationally obsessed with anything from Japan'. That's how most anime fans these days self-identify, and I'd take a furry with their positive attitude towards their passion over all the 'ironic' weebs any day of the week. But idk, I never got the furry hate in the first place. It's not for me, but they always seem pleasant when I see them at conventions. Maybe a bit huggy, but that goes for half the non-furrys at these conventions as well. And just being in that fursuit in the middle of summer while it's 35°C out in the sun, that is punishment enough as far as I'm concerned. I'm always standing outside, sweating in a T-Shirt and shorts and these MFers run around in fursuits like they have infinite energy. It's lowkey impressive. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Furries and weebs are enemies: -Furries are generally more political. -Furries tend to be older than the average weeb. -Hypocrites: they think lolicon/shotacon is pedophilia but they openly love yiff aka zoophilia/bestiality or worse they say "its not same, bro!". -Most furries don't even watch anime. They only watch stuff if anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics exist in any form of animation/games/movies, etc. -My interactions with them are pretty bad. I'm a proud weeb and I dislike furries. |

| Weebs are already low in the social pecking order, of course they're gonna take the chance and go at if some other group is ranked even lower than them. I don't see how that's ironic, that's just how humans are in large groups 🤷♀️ Also, obsessions of any kind are weird and somewhat off-putting to people who don't engage in them. I know guys who's entire room is plastered with car posters, who spend every cent they can spare on it and do mechanical stuff to their car in all of their free time, every weekend (and then never actually drive it anywhere because their "baby" can't get harmed or dirty). Don't even get me started on obsessive sports fans. They are just as bad as obsessive anime fans or furries who bother others with their fantasies all the time. |
| It amuses me how many easily disproven misconceptions about furries continue to be believed by people from other fandoms who should know better. |

| Weaboo - Western person who often regards Japanese culture as superior to all other cultures. Basically an insult. I am not a weaboo, I am a western otaku. Furry - I think of it as similar but not the same as a fetish. I myself very much like anthropomorphic characters in anime. However the "Beastars" type of anthropomorphic is unappealing to me. I prefer the "Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou" type if anthropomorphic. I am not a furry, but I do have a soft spot for anthropomorphic leaning more towards human, rather than animal. Bottom line is I think weaboo and furry are completely different. |
 |
| Well weens focus on existing stories,characters etc and build a fandom around that Furries don't really have that and make primarily their own characters. And fir some reason it tends to have a lot of animal porn. Propably due to the lack of primary material. Every fandom has porn. But most have some show that they focus on and revolve around So yeah i don't really see how these are similar at all. Unless we want to argue that all fandoms are the same |
| Furries are tangentially related to anime but more spring up from western media influences such as cartoons. They are similarly tangentially related to the gaming communities. I'd also say that real Furries are generally trying to roleplay and take on a new persona for what ever reason. Often seems its because they feel like they have no place in this world so they make up a new identity where they can be anything they want. As to why its an animal based, my theory is that springs from western cartoons and animated movies they watched as kids that often anthropomorphized and sexualized them in various ways such as giving animals human boobs. Weebs just watch anime on average. Even when cosplaying, the roleplay element isnt as serious as it can get with furries. |

Felori said: Society deems it bad because it is. Overindulge yourself in fast food, you can have health issues. Overindulge in drinking alcohol, you can get liver cirrhosis. Overindulge yourself in an expensive hobby, you can go broke. Overindulge yourself in gaming, you can fail in your education and struggle in life. Why tho? Because society deems "overindulgence" as wrong or weird? How does one even measure such a thing? That's such a boring mindset. The bost exciting people I met are surely overindulging themselves with the things they love. I just hate to see, when they are ashamed about it. Doing something a lot without affecting your life is not an issue. This can be a good form of overindulgence (if such a thing exists). But the word has a negative connotation, and OP meant it in terms of affecting your life. |
| Furries ruin everything. Weebs don't. In fact, we tried to be nice to them and they ruined anime from 2019-2022, and it only recently has started to recover. Furries and weebs are natural enemies. They are the ones who actually do the stuff that weebs are accused of. For example, weebs get accused of being pedophiles all the time, but furries actually are pedophiles, and they never call it out in the fandom. Furries are our enemies. As weebs, we need to unite against them. Also don't forget how badly they ruined stuff like Pokemon. |

Risa92 said: Alcoholicide said: Queer was also an insult until queer people decided to use it with pride. It's not to insult yourself, it's taking the offense tone out of the word, if you normalize it for yourself and you don't give people a possibility to insult you with it.Self-identifying as a weeb is more cringe than self-identifying as a furry at least. There's much less of a sense of self-deprecation among furries. They chose a descriptive word that makes sense and wear it with pride while 'weebs' like to insult themselves and their passion, ... Sure, but the difference to me is that 'queer' was only an insult because of societal context and bigotry and prejudices, not because what it means is inherently insulting or referring to disagreeable attributes. But 'weeaboo' has always implied irrational, unreasonably glorification of japanese culture and having pride in being unreasonable and worshipping something beyond reason, in an annoying, self-obsessed and delusional way, just doesn't pack the same punch as having pride in your queerness as far as I'm concerned. It's never been a neutral term referring to just anime fans/enthusiasts in general, like for example 'otaku' (which would make much more sense when it comes to 'reclaiming' a term), it has always referred to annoying behaviour associated with a certain type of fan and I personally don't care about normalizing or having pride in the most annoying type of anime fan. The deciding difference is that weeb never just implied pride in being an anime fan, but in being an annoying, irrational anime fan that thinks anime is infallible and usually hates everything western just because it's not japanese. I never liked those kind of fans and I hate the fact that this is the term the community choose to 'reclaim', as if it that kind of attitude and behaviour shouldn't be seen as a negative, instead of other, much more neutral options that just refer to being an anime fan without originally only referring to certain annoying behavioral patterns and not just the interest in anime. Another very meaningful difference to how 'queer' was used is that it originally was an insult that non-queer people used against queer people while 'weeaboo' started out as an insult that anime fans used to distance themselves from other, annoying anime fans while normies had no idea what the word even meant until anime became mainstream and they learned about it from the anime community. That makes it feel less like a 'reclamation' of something 'outsiders' used against us but more like a civil war amongst the fandom where the annoying fans won and now all make us label ourselves with their shitty term that implies a bunch of negative attributes, embracing the most negative aspects of the anime community and using that to label ourselves instead of any other option, which I just don't like. I'll never understand why people cringe more at the 'otaku' label than at the 'weeb' label, given their original meaning... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
It does feel a bit outdated tbh in some regards. in 2023 the 13 year old gamers are Minecraft celebrities who earn millions of dollars each year and are basically normies at this point who shouldn't be on the chart at all, nevermind being at the lower end of it :>. Also as someone who reads a lot of comics but barely any superhero stuff, I always felt more geeky than Marvel or DC fans. Probably because of the MCU movies & co that turned superheroes into THE mainstream cultural thing of the last few decades, maybe in 2002 that was still perceived differently. But I don't see how me reading indie comics or reprints of newspaper strips from the 1920s can be perceived as less nerdy than someone being into Batman or Superman :>. Also Pokemon fans over the age of six are also normies at this point, at least pokemon content is pretty normie level content that's everywhere and I don't think people see it as nerdy anymore, more like nostalgia. It's weird if someone between 16 and 35 has no history with the franchise. Still a funny chart tho ^^. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
