In my defense, I mock the furries not because I think the Internet is serious business, nor am I a /b/tard. I do not mock them because their fetish is the most disgusting thing on the web. I would be lucky were that the worst that I have seen. I do not mock them just "for the lulz" as some would say, though I admit it is quite fun sometimes.
No, I mock them for their idea that their ideas and desires are fresh and new. For their "Awww, isn't that kawaii? ^_^" weeaboo-ness. I mock them for their insistence that what they do is "normal" and then proceed to mock "weird" fetishes, like non-anorexic girls. And I mock them when they pretend that they're a persecuted minority, because, let's face facts: There's a lot of them, and they have a lot of websites just for them.
And to be fair, I mock everyone. Including myself. ESPECIALLY myself. Because we all deserve a good laugh. (And come on, I'm a 21 year old college student/janitor whose never had a date in his life and can rap the whole song "White and Nerdy.")
