At this point it's like... I almost don't consider myself even a part of fandom. I mean, clearly I am because I'm not normal, but I've just seperated myself from that kind of fantastical role-playing so much that I hardly even understand it anymore.
Either way I will keep this in mind in future fandom interactions. I generally try not to mock anyone, understanding fully what it is to be mocked. But I have certainly heard the pervasive sentiment that "furry is just that one step too far". I've heard it expressed in detached, more sympathetic tones and I've heard it expressed in the height of rudeness. But like many things I get an urge to feel some sort of judgement about, the most I will say is that I don't understand it. And watch out for people who are condescending and rude about it.
This crap about "seeing the sickness in you" I don't buy at all though. Sorry.
