Are you saying that there are not "people whose sexuality includes fantasizing about, or actually dressing up as, anthropomorphic animals", or "a subset of Furrydom that has a thing for Nazi fetish, too. So on top of the anthropomorphic animal stuff, they'll be wearing black leather Nazi gear."?
Because if that's what you're saying, I can totally prove you wrong, with lots and lots of links.
/ Not a furry. // Sometimes regrets the animal in livejournal name, because people assume I'm a furry. /// most of the local furries need a good beating, but not because they're furries. They could want nothing to do with anthropomorphic animals and they'd still totally need to be slapped.
Oh, I'm not denying that we've got our share of people who are like that. But I feel like he's implying that such behaviour is ALL that furry is about, and that's just not the case. (Then again, maybe I misunderstood his comment.)
/// most of the local furries need a good beating, but not because they're furries. They could want nothing to do with anthropomorphic animals and they'd still totally need to be slapped.
You'll get no argument from me on this point, either. We have a large percentage of social retards in the fandom. Whether that has anything to do with a large portion of the fandom being in their early 20s (http://www.anthrocon.org/history-registration-2005) is an interesting question.
On a related note, you also might find this post (http://sirfox.livejournal.com/37005.html) of interest.
You get a really large percentage of social retards in any dorky fandom. This is a side effect of the Five Geek Social Fallacies (http://sean.chittenden.org/humor/www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html).

I'm sure you could find one or two of them, but the reality is you'd be talking about a tiny minority of a fraction of a percentage of the fandom. The overwhelming majority of us aren't like that. (In fact, I'd even go so far as to say the ones claiming to have a thing for Nazi fetish aren't even really like that either—especially considering they seem to be Grade A Lollertards that most of us don't really care to associate with in the first place.)
Besides, didn't mocking furries finally become old meme—and the last refuge of people who can't think up new material—last year?
Isn't it about time folks found a new group to make fun of based on the actions of a few of its members?
Hey, I hear a Something Awful Goon went on a shooting rampage last year...

People into furry sex would be a tiny minority of a fraction of percentage of self-identifying "furries"?
Or people with the nazi regalia fetish would be that minority?
'cause, you see, I'll believe you about the second one, but not the first.
About the old meme: #1: mocking furries *for being furries* is old and busted. Mocking stupid people for being stupid never gets old, and never will, and if they happen to be furries, or Jehovah's Witnesses, or heavy metal fans, or whatever, so be it.
#2: I don't see anyone mocking furries here - just someone suggesting that if nazis are going to march, you could do worse than have pseudonazis in fursuits joining in on the sieg heils.
