You're a part of a group that almost everyone hates, so expect bullying.

Remember, A bully only wins if you get angry with them, so be the better man.

^^ This person gets it. I've found that if you starve bullies of attention (or strike at the perfect time to show how stupid they are and embarrass them - more rare), they'll get bored and leave.

Avoid/Mute/Ignore (server and client functions), You can always just turn off MIC/Hide Ingame-Chat atleast until they leave. If it comes to extreme harrassment/bullying/stalking BLOCK their profiles so they can't really see you or gather information... IF it becomes a normal very aggressive attack and it disrupts your game and other people's game report it on the Skial Forums under Report players.

IF by some means, or reason they have personal information and are attempting to blackmail, dox, release private information so someone could hurt you contact your local police or state police. If by the time it comes to contacting the authorities Server Host/Server Providers should have already attempted to take action ageist these users and it wouldn't hurt to report the profiles through steam.

Online Harassment/bullying and attempted doxxing or threats of harm are NOT OK and just because it's the internet doesn't mean anything... Any time you log into STEAM or join a server like skial it's logged somewhere and the information (even with a VPN) is there somewhere.

Bottom line: Ignore them UNLESS it becomes serious like they're giving out addresses or your real name. If you're under 18 or just need help reach out to family or guardians, and don't be afraid again to contact authorties if it's getting serious and out of hand.

^^^ Literally sums it up, but if you are on the internet, expect people hating you for who you are, its the internet and a lot of people come here to let it all out, trust me, I did it too, and sometimes still do, we all have, not saying its fine, but its LIFE.

It's probably because of people who are furries, and tend to "take their personality a tad too extreme" such as NSFW sprays etc. Or just actions in general that people hate. And this caused a chain reaction where the entire community has had this problem with "Certain players as furries" and now is pretty much hating on the entire furry community because of those few who tend to take it too far on servers. So it's kinda their fault, but at the same time, the TF2 Community's fault for blaming one entire portion of the TF2 community, just because a few furry players did things they hate.

I don't really mind furries or any type of player, just as long as they don't "show off" their sprays all the time.
