Why do furries hate success?

Many furries have this weird idea about furry subculture being an underground, anti-establishment movement, something super unique and worth fighting for to keep it that way. And then there's the rest of us who don't know what the fuck are those guys smoking.

Because there’re too many losers

People because are addicted to the excuse that htey have no agency in how their lives turned out and people like Boof threaten that narrative. Crabs in a bucket. if they let a crab climb out, now the others have no excuse to be still there themselves.

Just the leftist furries. They hate capitalism

I think the issue is he flaunts it. He doesn’t make that money, he has a sugar daddy that gives him access to money

you can't satisfy envy. lol

I remember the good days when the fandom wasn't about fursuits, content, social media, and videos

People are just jealous I mean...

Exactly, I’ll never understand the hate either, it’s his money

Lefties hate anyone successful. How dare they prove that with hard work and good choices you can get ahead in life! Its that simple. And the fandom is loaded with lefties.

A lot of people in general get jealous over the success of others. Even though this is the furry fandom. It's still people behind the screens and under these carpets we wear.

To put it simply furry fandom hates the idea of hard work/success cause it would contribute to capitalism so as long as they fight the system they will force them selves to be broke forever and hate on success cause they owned the chuds

TBH, the majority of those who hate him really seem to look for any reason that they can find to hate him, they're just determined to hate and never give him a chance. I've never interacted with him that much, personally, but he seems like a decent guy as far as I can tell.

I met him once at MFF last year. Definitely seems like a cool person one of these days I'll hope have the opportunity to talk to him and hang out.

Because they were angry at him for dating a cop and haven’t let go of that grudge so naturally they get angry he gets to do a super easy job and enjoy the fandom “improperly”

Eh big miss on this IMO It’s not that he’s successful, it’s the way he went about it

Agreed. I’m happy for him (yeah maybe a bit jealous too hehe) but yeah the criticism is dumb. He seems like a really nice guy

My 2¢, I came from poverty. It's hard to not think "he's flaunting wealth". It's relational misalignment. $25,000 to a 6 digit earner can be like $250 to a low 5 digit earner. Also, fear. Limited resources in the world. Seeing success can make it feel like it impedes chances!

A note about you seeing Boof as laid-back. Still being close to poverty, my knee jerk response is: *eye roll* "Well DUH, not hard to be laid back when you're rich! Stop showing off! Must be nice not to worry when your next meal will be." I bin it. Instead, good vibes to U & Boof!

People hate Boof because they’re envious of how much he makes.

YouTube/ social media is a genuine career path for some people. MKBHD, Austin Evan’s, Linus Sebastian, rich rebuilds. I intentionally chose non furries because in any other sector, NOBODY CARES that people make money off YouTube.

I dont like him because he came in already an influencer not because he has money it feels disingenuous tbh

What a fucking caca bootlicker take tbh

A lot of people who enter this fandom do so out of feeling victimized. By life, by society by whatever windmill monster they create in their heads. Seeing folks who are socially capable and financially successful- ie: everything they're not - makes them jealous at best, and malicious at worst. They're the crabs in the bucket clawing at each other so that none can escape. There are also people in this fandom who have had life dump on them, who are also some of the most cool and chill people out there. But their quiet and humble gratitude doesn't make its way to social media very often.

Bro i got attacked back in November and tried to raise money because I cant work due to a corrupt government protecting my attackers And I have people come in harassing me and saying "I deserved it" and making fun of the fact i cant work and am broke Furries are fucking evil

Pure jealousy. Boof has able to achieve more than his haters will and they can’t handle it. “He a grifter!” Has he actually asked for money from people in relation to his content? “He’s a clout chaser!” Who isn’t these days? Everyone seeks a following it seems.

I feel called out 😭 My post of criticism from the other week was poorly worded. It truly wasn’t intended to be an attack on Boof or his success. Rather I was lamenting about my own lack of success and state of living paycheck to paycheck as I’ve tried to earn money the conventional way. I was highlighting Boof as an example, like “hey, if this guy can make stupid loads of money by doing frivolous stuff, why can’t I earn a good living by pursuing a career?”

Having been in this fandom for quite some time, I feel many in this fandom just wanna keep this space small, fun and free from big boy interference (Continued in the reply)

As a furry, I don’t mind being successful in the long term. :3

It's less about him as a person and more of the idea that success is how much money you have and spend and turning furry into chasing that. Some people will see $25000 as life changing, others may see it as a good idea to spend on a fursuit. Flaunting wealth pushes that divide.

Because he’s not a furry he’s a poser a wanna be

Hes making it very hard to ignore. Im on social media to see lots of lifes happenings and news, not one guys sucess every other goddamned post. I dont search for him and somehow he pops up more than fuckn elon. I know i dont know him but im aready sick of him. Its not incindental

It is usually the unemployed trannies that complain the loudest.
