As a furry, let me say that I would feel that something was very, very wrong with people if furries became 'accepted'. Too much about us is just... not.... right.
As for homosexuality, it's only a matter of time. It's a civil rights issue, just like the end of slavery was and the end of open systemic racism.

This sounds like you're a furry just because it makes you different.
Gay characters ruin TV shows if they're fabulously gay. For instance the gay in The Office didn't run around shagging guys and doing other stupid shit and was still a good character.

Being a furry is an interest, not a lifestyle. Get the fuck over it.
[QUOTE=Splurgy;21314334]He's not being homophobic, he's saying that some people are so intolerant that [supposedly likely thing] is less likely than [relatively unlikely thing] - in other words, the notoriously anti-furry Facepunch is more likely to accept furries than for homosexual characters to be fully integrated into stories.
As a side note, has anyone noticed that East Asian characters are quite under-represented on television? Margaret Cho raised the point recently - there aren't really any vocal "yellow rights" groups out there, so Asians are under-represented. When was the last time you saw, say, a cop drama with a Chinese person in it (who was a copper as opposed to a Triad)?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;21314800]he's saying that the state of the world is too homophobic, which in reality, it is
even those people who say they're accepting often secretly aren't and still hold homophobic values. A facade is nearly just as bad as being blatantly homophobic in social change.
also characters need to go from being "that one gay dude" to normal characters. The only television show I've seen actually pull it off successfully is (ironically) the absolutely terrible Sarah Silverman show
it actually portrayed gays how they should be portrayed - as normal people, with just one small fraction of their character is the state of being homosexual. In tv/movies now those characters are identified as gay instead of being identified as people.[/QUOTE]I agree with this, but I think you under-estimate people. I live in the middle of the fucking bible-belt and you wouldn't believe how many closeted homosexuals there are around here. Sure, there are cunts, and there are also still racist people around. Give it time and they will dissipate.
I do agree that the flamboyant, annoying as fuck gay characters are beginning to get on my nerves.

but those people really represent a very, very tiny portion of the gay community. They're just more visible.
I don't know. I always thought the flamboyant ones were cool, in a funny way.
