>>117946724There was a time when, whenever someone on 4chan got mad at something, other people would spam the thread with it.
The more people reacted, the more it was spammed.
The line between anime fan and furry is very thin, so furries make them feel nervous and threatened, since watching anime still passes as "normal" in mainstream groups (everyone watched dragonball and sailor moon). But they are also not exempt from bullying either.
In furries, anime fans find a way to re-define themselves as "normal" people, and a way to vent out from the bullying they suffer by bullying furries. Like priests who accuse women of being sinful "temptresses", to hide the fact that they themselves are horny.
Being 4chan originally made for anime discussion, it is not hard to see that, eventually, a flurry of furry content was going to explode some day. The difference with other flame wars in 4chan, is that m00t himself is an anime fan, and as such, felt personally threatened by furries too.
