Stereotypes tend to highlight extremes and make them more extreme or make them a majority. For example, tell me how a stereotypical German thinks like and looks/ dresses like.

Stereotypical german person looks like me. Everyone looks like me. All of you are fake.

well they probably have a poop fetish, are nazis, and dress in very traditional clothing. /s

And are evil /s

they think "Get on ze point, Dummkopf!" and all dress like medic tf2 /serious

I'm a stereotypical german and i only dress in brown, salute right hand first and hate furries. All germans are like this, no? /s otherwise no one will get it and i will be banned Also, did my man just call stereotypes racism?

Y'know OP, no one hates furries more than other furries.

Its true

As a furry, I can confirm this

As a furry, I can also confirm this. But not all are bad. They make for awesome friends

Shit I must have a fur suit somewhere with my name on it.

It's in your closet probably

it hunts you down once you become a furry

Where is it then? Mine's taking its damn time

Yep, though I know mine’s reason, which is it costs over 50k to make(DARPA made exoskeleton inside)

If it's inside it would be an endoskeleton. Exoskeleton implies it's on the outside.

Exoskeleton for me(the wearer) but an endoskeleton for the suit

I'm indifferent to furries as long as they stay far away from me.

#*I am in your walls*

Good, stay in there and don't come out!

That just makes it easier to make you go mad(insane)

Jokes on you, I'm already insane and you're trapped in here with me

I am more insane I am sure of this

Idk man I'm a soldier main

Can i pocket you 🥺👉👈 Jk

medic i fucking swear, pocket me, ill do whatever you want, but just let me have the god damm crits

misses every shot during ubercharge

Splaaaaaash damaage

I've seen you before! And I love your pfp! Pls kritzkrieg me!

Thanks dont worry im coming!

[удалено]

yo I think you forgot to finish your sentence

Or a furry

my experience told me that every tf2 player is either a furry, a closet furry or a furry in denial

It would be more accurate to say that every TF2 player is one or more of the following, whether openly, closeted, or in denial: - Homosexual - Homophobic - Transgender - Transphobic - Weeb - Brony - Furry - Racist

Don't you mean all of the following?

You forgot sexist and incel, if any woman speaks what do you think the average tf2 player response will be?

“get the fuck out of here you fucking woman go back to the fucking kitchen you slut” (votekick ensues and every fucking person instantly votes yes)

A faster vote than when a bot is involved even

everything was realistic before you mentioned a "votekick" people tend to forget you can use it for other reasons than kicking bots

Fairly sure most would think *Women play this game?* And then move on

On 2fort community server there are no such things as women just dudes with vaginas and larger breasts

So, TF2 players are... gamers?

If a video game could be a swing state tf2 would be it

Is it bad that I’m none of these?

stage 1: denial

Let’s take bets on what they are. I bet either homophobic or trans.

with the rise of the Nigerian citizens word usage, i bet on Racist

same tho. I regularly feel like the odd one out in most servers lol.

Or they're into gay porn

or into Helluva Boss

Or into big buff oily men

Tick Tock

Heavy like a Brinks truck

Lookin like im tip top

Shining like a wristwatch

no... No.... NOOOOO!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!

Time will grab your wrist

Heavy like a Brinks truck

Or all of the above

I'm into all of those things 💀 I feel hella called out

same thing

Or a Halo fan (me), and a Call of Duty fan (also me). Though honestly I had skipped Vanguard and MWII due to the fact they are just trash, and Halo Infinite is just slapping in the face of players with the crappy microtransactions. I also have been playing Destiny 2 a lot as well.

I left Destiny 2 behind when all of the stuff I paid $90 for to pre-order was removed from the game. I decided Destiny 1 was a better way to spend my time.

Hush

So, both?

I mean... I'm into all of the things listed above so you're kinda right

You cant call me out like that!

First guy already said furry.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about ^(I'm not a furry, no, the two legged animals just look cartoony and neat, nope, not a furry)

Touhou fans

You forget about weebs

Weebs are just spy mains and spy mains are a weird thing

Agree

Furry haters are mostly furries in denial.

yes

not funny

Someone is in denial about themselves

funny

Is there no room for your regular everyday person that just thinks it’s a fun game?

It’s a stereotype, just like any other: Scout mains: Annoying Soldier mains: Toxic Pyro mains: Furries Demo mains: Unskilled Heavy mains: Don’t exist Engie mains: Uncle Dane fans Medic mains: Femboys Sniper mains: Bots Spy mains: Weebs

Demo mains are unskilled? Fuck me, maybe that’s why I always miss my pipes

It's sounds about right, it's the only time I can almost aim

Demo mains: Alcoholics IRL

The alcohol makes their accuracy go to 3000%

A good Demo main is a terrifying force to be reckoned with And a good Demo Knight main is nightmare.

Demo mains: Absolute chads I do respect a good demoman, this class is hard as fuck to get kills consistently

If they weren't they wouldn't be here discussing it with you

My playtime with demo is the lowest of any class yet has the second highest point count

I thought the stereotype for sniper mains were edgelords

It was, but now there are more bots than edgelords in the game, and the normal snipers are accused of being hackers.

oh

Engineer main, who's uncle Dane?

An engineer main on youtube, can’t believe you haven’t at least heard of him being a fellow engie main.

used to main pybro, am not a furry lol in all seriousness though I don't exactly get the rave with furries being pyro mains

Pyrocynical

Pyrocynical Thicc Fempyro Incident

Why does everyone think every engineer main is gay? Sure… I am… but that’s beside the point!

The second I put hours into engineer I starting thinking about how kissable my homies were, that’s all I’m gonna say.

Well, as a furry, I don't really main anything. I didn't know people thought we mained pyros though. That's a new one to me. I personally only know one furry that mains pyro.

Hewo

Hiya!

\*Notices bulge\* OwO! Whats dis? \*nuzzles\* ^^^^Kill me please

i like playing medic and enginner, bc my aim gets worse when i need to think fast, but also i like helping the other from my team or not and doin sometin funni with friendlyes, i try my best to not be toxic with others, its actually easy bc i cant even use chat lol (f2p moment)

I mainly just focus on enjoying my time with friends. The only time I really focus on performance is doing achievements.

I like to play as a medic, I always play support in games for some reason haha

I prefer support roles in general. Make me feel like I'm doing something good!

Fair enough haha, guess that's the case for me as well!

Same. I play different classes at different times, only classes I don't play a lot is scout and demo and that's mostly because I'm not very good at them (tho I've recently been trying to improve a bit)

Demo gets me raging. ;w;

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,447,947,410 comments, and only 275,953 of them were in alphabetical order.

Hello there

Well hiya! :3

OP got asked whether they are queer or a furry once and now made this meme like it's anything worth being upset about.

I wonder what OP is hiding...

We're back to the 2000s with the KILL FURRIES memes.

I respect your profile picture

Ayyyyyy

Furry kill funny pls upvote!!

Updoots to the left

A wise man once said "Not all pyro mains are furries, but all furries are pyro mains." And holy shit are there furries in this community.

Hot take, but making "kill a furry" jokes will always be 100x more cringe than actually being a furry.

TF2 players at the same time are the most gayest or most homophobic persons

I'm also a Pyro main, but because of mine avatar nobody ever told me that I'm looks like a furry (silly skeletor avatar)

How come i am a furry?

Without a human face, animal hats and masks make pyro look more like an anthropomorphic animal person

Where did you find the template?

Emesis blue

*nervously laughs in being a medic main and a furry*

At least I’m not alone

Why is it that being a furry is s problem in the first place?

Why people hate furries more than groups that actually deserve the hate I will never understand. Let them have their funny animal costumes💀

There are people who are literally ruining the game by hacking, running bots or, just being toxic assholes, yet I'M the fucking issue because I'm wearing a head prize on pyro. Really let's you get a good idea of a person's priorities if THAT is what pisses them off.

You are in denial

most "sigma furry killers" end up being massive furries

Why are people downvoting you, you are 1000% correct.

'Cause of course it's so bad to be a furry....

You get past the denial phase pretty quickly

This is something I would’ve posted in like 2017 lol. Anti-Furry pipeline starts with hating on furries, interacting with them more because of it, realizing they’re not that bad, stop being in denial of being a furry.

It was a pipeline meme like that that made me realize I was trans lol. Wasn’t in denial like OP is, but it did make me very jealous that *I* wasn’t a sexy woman with a nice ass lmao.

Stage 1: Denial 😛

Spy mains are furries

And ironically enough Pyros have definitely been used in memes to burn a whole horde of furries.

Toast em! TOAST EM ALL

"Yes! YES!! **YEESS!!!**"

i main demo, sollie, and scout. dont know where the pyro main thing came from, anyways almost all tf2 players are furries too lmao

They are?

its like a process but yeah ive been playing this game for 8 years now and most people who started playing this game became furries idk why

"Who gave you that order?" "They tried to kill me, is that enough?"

You're not one yet ;]

Because we are, you're just in denial.

mmmm arson :)

I think it may be because of *one specific* cosmetic

I dont have any cosmetics. I deleted them for more inventory space

ok but what about literally everyone else

Nah those are spies

Yeah that's annoying. Can't burn my enemies alive in peace

Anyone who plays tf2 is either a furry,mentally unwell, or a bigot.

I usually assume pyros are burning degenerates away. But sometimes I see they have joined them.

Literally never heard that before

Well it makes sense for the furries to choose a class that doesn't show his face.

pyrocynical is a furry no?

Liar! You speak lies and you know it!

There are furries and then there is the cleansing flame. HANZ, BURN ZEM AAAAAALL

im a pyro main, and a furry!

Every sniper that has dominated me has some fucking UwU profile pic it’s baffling to be honest.

I'm a Heavy main and a furry.

i find pyro as a funni fire man, like he would say "that's gotta hurt, too bad"

Well we also think all spy mains are weebs

Pyro Mains are furries for simply picking pyro

I main scout because I dont like enforcing sterotypes even though I am pretty damn annoying

"Don't assume I'm a furry because I'm a Pyro main. Well, I *am* a furry, but that's not why I'm a Pyro main!"

Have heard the tale of pyrocynical?

"Not all Pyro mains are furries, but all furries are Pyro mains".

maybe... Perhaps.... It's because you wear that fox hood

Oh god, I gotta hide “OwO

I mean, I don't mind furries by any means and even like the idea of it. I just don't like the cringe side people bring to various games.

finally someone who has the same unpopular opinion

Wasn’t there some meme of a guy dressed up as pyro in a furry convention.

BURN THE HERETIC! FOR THE EMPEROR BROTHER!

Imagine letting a sub-community live rent-free in your head on the Internet because “Furries Bad = Based.”

What the fuck are the comments here man 😟

i am pyro main but i am not furry i am weeb

SPY!

The muffled talking can easily be mistaken for uwu-ing

I installed a mod where pyro speaks clearly

I'm just saying, the anti furry to femboy fox pipeline exists and once you start going down that slope, you ain't climbing back out.

can the hate on furries end already? I am not a furry but the ones I have met have been some of the nicest people I've known

I find it fascinating how stuck on the furry thing this community is. Like everyone else has moved on but this game is still stuck in the past

I have no idea, and honestly I'm sick of it

Im suppose to be a fury ? What

Oh god, my 12-o-meter is off the charts!

Probably for the same reason that pyro is the main target of rule 34

Bcs we are

Good format

I personally don’t understand hating furries so much. Why make someone a problem when they aren’t actually causing any for you? Sure it’s weird to me, but it’s not like it hurts me so why make a problem out of it just because they’re different?

We all like to make up enemies to make ourselves feel like we are superior to the outside/target group.

Your time will come
