Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries?

I noticed that some people just have an extreme hatred for furries.
I have a friend and I would not call him a generally intolerant person at all, he knows I am homosexual and never cared unlike all other people I have ever told about that(around 6 people), but he has an extreme hatred for anything furry. Like on the level of "All furries should be killed" not the usual shit we can read on the internet.

I do not understand it, but there is really no way to get him to any not as extreme standpoint.

  • I wonder, in a Venn diagram, how many furry haters are also cyclist haters?

    If it's a significant overlap, I wonder what the common themes are?

    • What has cycling to do with that?

      • I'm not sure. In Australia there seems to be a lot of irrational hatred of cyclists. I'm wondering if perhaps there's a cross over due to bright colours or skin tight clothing triggering some alpha male aggression or something. Though it's probably more to do with people being irrationally impatient with slow traffic on the road.

        • I can only speak on my experience as both a previously passionate cyclist and passionate car driver in central Europe. There are very real issues with cyclists here but they are mostly centered around large cities where for reasons no one understands, cyclists both seem to believe that they are the untouchable on the roads and that there is no need for taking care of themselves and others. You can see the most insane behavior on European roads performed by cyclists. The famous switching to the sidewalk to skip a red light while then getting both pedestrians and cars in serious danger.
          Here on the European country side especially in a mountainous place like where I am, there are mainly two problems, road cyclists that ignore the perfectly prepared tarred cycle roads and mountain bike people who shoot out of dirt roads right onto streets without any care.
          I strongly advocate for mandatory license plates for any bicycle on the road, it would finally give the public a possibility to get the bad actors of their bicycles and keep the roads save.
          If the situation in Down under is similar, I can fully understand the rage and it has nothing to do with our cyclist cloths.
