What's With All the Furry Hate?

General
I SERIOUSLY just don't get it! Everywhere I go on the net, it seems like someone is cracking a joke at our expense, or posting messages akin to "Yiff in hell furfag!". Where's it all coming from? I talked to a friend last night who seems totally disgusted by furries.....I listened to her arguments, which summed up to these two:
A. Furries are basically people who want to have sex with animals. I love animals, hence I hate furries.
B. Furries are always shoving their porn in people's faces. That's rude, I don't want to see it, thus I can't stand furries.
Okay, those are sorta understandable arguments from someone's perspective.....but I don't think they're really all that true. The furries I've met don't "shove their art in people's faces" anymore than any other kind of artist. So what if someone posts a furry pic on deviantART......how is that any less acceptable then what other people post? My TF pics, for instance, might be offensive to some folks, but I'm not "shoving it in their faces"......I'm simply posting it where they can look at it or not as they please. It's no different than any other artist wanting to share their work right?
As for the "we want to fuck animals" thing.....well that seems a tad harsh. I have no desire to go screw a dog! Besides, most of the furry art I've seen depicts bipedal characters with human-intelligence......PEOPLE with animal-like features, not ANIMALS with human-like features. That's a major distinction in my book! Even if that wasn't the case.......a fantasy is a fantasy, and has nothing to do with real-life in most cases. I can fantasize about things I would NEVER do in real life......and I honestly don't think there's any harm in that.
So it boils down to this.....WHERE is all this hate coming from? Why are furries so universally DESPISED? Did a few extremists somehow offend the majority of the human-race, ruining the reputations of the rest of us? Seriously, what the hell is the problem here? I just don't get it!

I'm guessing the majority of non-furries think that furries like to do it with animals. It is a common misunderstanding because there are some furries who think animals are hot. Thus the majority thinks that all furries like animals.
Personally, I think that there are two types of Furry art:
a. Standard, friendly stuff (no sex involved; think of Warner Bros cartoons! - PURE FUN !! XD )
b. And sex-oriented furry stuff. Think of the amazingly well-known Dr. Comet´s art, for example.
Vast majority of people think that ALL furry fans are into the second type (sex). And that IS NOT TRUE! Or all of the Bugs Bunny fans are zoophiliacs?? :S No! Hehehe!
On the other hand... the furry fetish REALLY exists... and it isn´t a mainstream fetish! So it is misunderstood now, and possibly, it will remain minsunderstood in the future XD.... (Sad but true).
Anyways... there is a basic fact in human sexuality: it´s EXTREMELY hard to make another person understand a fetish in which he/she isn´t involved. This is specially true with weird, unussual, violent or dark fetishes! (BDSM, Zoophilia, Coprophilia, Necrophilia, Paedophilia, Vorephilia, and so on!).
So why care about other people thoughts in this matter? Enjoy your furry stuff!!
