Even though I'm not part of the furry fandom, I comepletely agree with Hagus. Every fandom has bad people, but that doesn't mean the whole fandom is bad. People seem to hate furries because of all the horror stories that are told. But there is more to the fandom than the bad stories, you just don't hear about that. Stories about the bad stuff seem to intrest more people, thus, those stories get spread further.
I'm sorry about what happened, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope you're okay now.
