I've seen the phrase before, and have been warned off doing a search on it so I haven't, but...

Oh no. If you don't know, you
shouldn't know. *shudder* Count yourself lucky.

That's pretty much the answer I
always get when I try to find out. Warned off not to delve deeper into
findng out.
I'll trust you guys and will remain ignorant of the matter.

Wikipedia takes the sting out. A neutrally-written article can legitimize *anything*

Pssh. I know plenty of people who are not Heinlein fans and still consider Piers Anthony fans lower creatures.
Also, the map is inaccurate. It should also include Heinlein fans feeling superior to Randites.

So now the decision, per an IM session I have going on, isn't if I would regret knowing, but if it is right not to pursue knowlege offered.
Take chances. Make mistakes. Get dirty.

Not to mention, furries look down on plushies.

True, and how very sad.
Actually, we have a Watcher who's an ex-furry. Maybe they'll step up and share some insights..

I have a friend who was one of the prime movers behind the 'Furry Concentration Camp' on the Something Awful forums, or whatever it's called.
It makes me sad, and yet, somehow, it seems... right.

Fer Pete's sake, just read the link. There are much worse things out there. Furries, at worst, are pathetically funny.
