In general that may be true, but not all furries are benevolent. Every community to have ever existed in history eventually gets some bad apples and gatekeepers when it gets to a certain size.

I was kinda upset to find out that a furry blogger I used to read and listen to back in high school, Two the Ranting Gryphon, turned out to be a pedophile and went to prison for CP. They also turned into a neo-nazi. ๐
He was associated with the guy who was basically the reason there was no Califur in 2018.
My guy, you've literally just described the human race. "Not all of [insert community here] is benevolent" rings true everywhere, not just furries.
That's why is weird to start with the assumption that anyone is cool. Or really start with any assumption at all.
There's no assumption in saying "furries are cool", much in the same way one can say "anime is cool" and "robots are cool". It is a statement of opinion, not fact.
If you don't find it cool, just say you're not into it, but don't try to gatekeep someone's enjoyment of something by somehow refuting their opinion that something they enjoy "is cool".
I'm not trying to gatekeep anything. I don't care what you think is cool. Furries aren't some form of media or object, they're people. I don't assume people are cool based on their hobbies.
That's quite pedantic. I didn't mean that as in "all furries are cool, including Nazis, fascists and other assholes", I meant more "I like the furry fandom".
Obviously, there are bad people in everything everywhere. That's why I said as a whole not ALL of them EVERYWHERE, like come on man, no offense meant, but use some context clues
