Applies to furries as well :)

hi sorry can someone who speaks weeb please translate??
I'm just being a weeb elitist, nothing more to it!

Hmmmm... In that scene he was lying. He very much did care. So the meme is really saying that you do care about what people with anime profile pics say, but you just don't want to admit it...
Also I'd rather care about the opinion of anime addicts and furries that about the opinion of intolerant assholes.

jokes on you, the last thing I want is people taking me too seriously

zoomers are fine with furries, alpha even more so. you're not going to win this just stop.
Who's trying to win anything? Weird that you think that a bunch of 13 year olds being ok with something means OP is lying about not being ok with it..
For the record, I don't "hate" furries, I won't stop talking to someone because they're a furry, but if you make it impossible for me to look past it, we're probably not gonna get along.

Holy shit, is Gen Z the new Millennials? Gen Z is commonly agreed to be the generation born between roughly 1995 and 2012, meaning that the oldest of them would be 30.
Existential crisis aside, my real point is that I've been around the internet a long time - long enough to have seen the start of hate against furries - and I'd like to take your second part and play with it in that context because I've heard it all before somewhere.
For the record, I don't "hate" furries, I won't stop talking to someone because they're a furry, but if you make it impossible for me to look past it, we're probably not gonna get along.
So let's start with the good faith interpretation, as furry is a subculture/hobby, so we'll replace it with something similar:
For the record, I don't "hate" Marvel fans, I won't stop talking to someone because they're a Marvel fan, but if you make it impossible for me to look past it, we're probably not gonna get along.
Kind of a weird statement, as there're weird people who take it too far in any fandom, whether that's Marvel, trains, anime, furries, or whatever else, but not the weirdest thing to say by any means. But, knowing the history of the internet in this regard, let's take your statement and change it to represent what the anti-furry sentiment actually is:
For the record, I don't "hate" gay people, I won't stop talking to someone because they're gay, but if you make it impossible for me to look past it, we're probably not gonna get along.
That's right, the furry hatred was thinly veiled bigotry all along. There's a reason that they used "furfag" in the old days. It's been a longstanding thing for hating furries to be "cool" because it was an easy way for bigots to hate minorities openly. Furries have major minority populations in the fandom (I think like twice the size compared to the world? Probably even higher), and so hating on furries was an easy way to hate on minorities - especially LGBT people as the fandom is commonly connected to the LGBT community in the cultural zeitgeist. So when they said that the OP isn't going to win, I believe it's in relation to that history - especially the whole "it's cool to hate furries" thing that still seems to pop up amongst young kids even today.

I didn’t even know there were profile pics? I’m guessing that’s not an enabled feature for Voyager maybe?
Me neither. Firefox on Windows. Who knew?
-
it’s 2025 and people still pretend to hate furries lol
I neither hate nor judge them, but all the yiff shit around here grosses me out, block it at every occasion.

Nine tenths of the anime I see on lemmy is little girls. Most popular? Little girl lesbians kissing. I can no longer take anime fans seriously.
And this is from a guy who started on Robotech as a teen! Anyway, here's my wife.

Nine times out of ten people who hate on furries and weebs proactively are just homophobes and pedos who are projecting and trying to hide it.
The rest of the time it's a child trying to fit in with older people who are homophobes and pedos because they don't understand the subtext or context of what they are saying.
-
furry hate in 2005 was 100% homophobia lol it's never really gone away either. it's largely that nowadays too. it's a way to hate queer people without outwardly hating queer people. they think we don't see it. it's also just dumb as hell and a waste of your one life to spend any amount of time literally hating people for a hobby that involves playing pretend and using their imagination. oh no, the horror, they can access something you can't anymore.
You know not every furry is gay lol

My favorite Tshirt says, "Be Gay. Do Crimes."
I love the LGBTQ community and am often mistakenly assumed to be a part of it, to which I take zero offense (and usually don't bother correcting).
People that make every aspect of their personality revolve around being gay annoy me and I usually don't associate with them.

Precisely.
but not the weirdest thing to say by any means.
Yet multiple people are coming out to let me know that I'm homophobic, bigoted, etc.
Can we also just take a moment to acknowledge that we're in the shit posting community?

Are you not judging them as "gross"?

Agreed. I just block the stuff I'm not interested in viewing in my feed and move on with my day.
There are so many better things to reserve my ire for that someone posting their softcore fursona doesn't make the cut, sorry to say.
If you're gonna hate, hate productively. Now I'm off to judge someone who pronounces it jif and not gif, should the opportunity present itself.

As a weeabo, fine, make fun of us. But I'm tired of people crusading furries and I'm not even one of them.
