Funny enough? I figured they'd all be respectful to each other, seeing as how we are all viewed as sick by normal people. Kinda figured the hate would bring us together .-. I was proven so wrong... its like gays; if you don't think like they do, or if you so much as play one video game or watch one anime, you're the outcast of gays..
Its confusing really, this is why I question humans as "intelligent" beings. >~>

People aren't nice.
What you need to do is find some you can stand and ignore the rest.

I know this advice is not helpful at all, but it's the basic essence of all the advice you will ever get on this.

Im just saying that people don't have the right to be mean when we are all alike... Everyone should be tolerant and nice to one another, but that'll never happen.

I guess that makes sense. I just see popular people on fur affinity all the time and wonder if they have their fair share of haters too.

Being popular ≠ Being a good person.

Funny enough, im nice and respectful, but I tend to get pushed around in the furry community. Very confusing...

This is why I gave up being nice a while ago.

It gets you NOWHERE.

in the internet all people are dicks, no matter what fandom they are part of

'We are all alike.' Nooope.

Looking through here, I see many different types of people, with different likes, dislikes, demeanours, and basic methods of interacting with others, be they bastardous or not. Some folks are just not going to get along.

Furries (contrary to what some people claim) are humans.
Some humans are assholes.
There is no social group on earth that is an exception to this rule.

You can be nice, but not too nice to a point where you have no backbone

I know people who can! They're lovely to meet but after half an hour I just get super bored and just want some mega-racist to come out of somewhere just to keep me awake.

People only see differences when they look too closely at the subject. Its like if you can make the groupings bigger, you notice different things, for instance, if you look at furries, you'll see the differing opinions on animes and games and sub categorize people based on them, but if you look at a continent you see different races, and where they live more than their opinions on something. So when you think about us all being on earth in an infinitely large universe, nothing more than a speck in consciousness, that is when you stop seeing the differences.

1. I'm respect to those who deserve it. Otherwise I'll be rude.
2. I can see why furries can be sick people. Some abuse animals in real life then go on the internet bragging about it.
3. ANIMUUU
4. I've questioned if humans are intelligent ever since I was a kid.

We are intelligent. We just have our moments of stupidity.

OP, you are not entitled to have furries be nice to you.

Popular furries give up quickly on being nice to furries because 999999999999999% of them act like entitled pricks who:

1. Complain when you aren't constantly drawing to give them 100% MAXIMUM QUALITY free porn that caters specifically to their fetishs.
2. Demand free art, instantly, no matter what is going on.
3. Steal your art constantly.

OP, you doing same thing, first hand.
You call them "normal people" and discriminate them from furries. It's same thing! Your position is position of person who say that "black one cannot be racist"
In your words you are not a normal person then.
Not all people like of furries like that. Also not all people in fandom are furries, or are xenophiles in sexual matter, heh. Not all wear or want to wear fursuit. It's people who adore one or other aspect of fandom.

I remind for those who forgot ( or those younglings who never knew) that essentially fandom was born out various attempts to make people look at humanity "from outside" - either by creating fluffy and cute characters with which onlookers would naturally side their sympathy and clash them with human stupidity (out webcomics I can name Freefall and TwoKinds as ood examples of it), or by creating replica of human society made of antropomorphs (like in Disney's and other cartoons, like JACK, Gene Catlowe webcomics).

Fursuiting, NSFW art, etc. on other hand - it's emotional fluff or comfort thing (fetish I could say , but most people misunderstand meaning of word "fetish").

Regardless of that, you still dealing with same pool of personalizes - everywhere you may find both kind people and assholes - it is not related to fandom, fetishes or racial or national allegiance. Stop thinking in discrimination categories and make your right half of brain work.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

This is what I think of when I hear 'Younglings'.
But anyway - that's an interesting way to look at the fandom. I wonder if anyone ever got into furries from books like Art Spiegelman's 'Maus'.

Even then, I suppose I myself am sorta popular. I never really act like all that much of a dick. I dont reasonably believe in hating another person what so ever, no matter what, and I always forgive and forget. (Maybe I'm just a loon.)

However, there simply isn't pleasing everybody, I've noticed :V And like every human, I've had my fair share of tool moments as well that I can't take back. Keep calm and carry on, is best I can say.

There are pictures that prove this on FA, just saying.

Being nice is irrelevant. So is being a bitch. Or a prick. Or a mooch or kiss ass. Why? Because one simple fact... no matter what you do...

You cant win em all.

With that said, being kind has its benefits as i suppose somehow being a douche does as well, though i havent found it. Since being kind seems to benefit me mostly its what i try and roll with. Besides snotty girls tend to lose out.

The only time I ever really act dickish, or douchey, is when i'm feeling scared, afraid, or any of the words used to descride great fear...

As I understood it, a tangent is the (imaginary) line that is perpendicular to the hypotenuse (longest line/side) of a triangle...

In other words: the thread took a 90° turn into another conversation, which when explained, is not funny anymore :I

Hee, or Animal Farm/ And I didn't meant "youngling" in any other meaning that someone of younger generation.. who dotn remember 80s-90s. WHo never knew that there was country named USSRm and who look at vacuum tubes and vynil records like on magic artifacts.. etc, etc. This wolrd for them is different, they missed both some bad and some good stuff,seeing and using only the results.
ANd I'm not some "grey muzzle" I'm only 35 old , but I see that some who are of 24-28 old know much less than I did when I was of their age.. that's saddening.

About being dick.. I don't see reason to act like that.. if someone acts like dick to you, it would be worst and fruitless response.. if someone annoys you , best response it so beat them with reason in most polite manner a, publically and in way it would cause them to blush red. Otherwise, being dick to someone, you cause them to stress, they would explode onto someone else, and it goes like chain reaction.. I don't want to harm people whom I don't even know. Dilbert, I think, had comic strip, where boss yells at employee, employee yells at wife at home, wife yells at kids on street, one of them was boss' one, that boy yells and abuses cat. In result cat stabs boss with knife, lol.

I can't let this blatant mistake go unfixed!

The Tangent is the line that barely touches the edge of a circle or curved surface without actually intersecting no matter how much you "zoom in". It will touch at only one point, and never cross that point or touch other points.

As for the second definition of the word, which doesn't have anything to do with math: it means "a completely different line of thought."

The more you know~
