So we're going to bend over backward to define furry in a way that doesn't insult fans of other things, even if our definition winds up far more restricted than makes any sense?
Really, if we're going to give others that much power over what we consider furry and how we define our own fandom, we might as well give up now, because plenty of people think we're all losers at best and perverts at worst anyway. Why even bother to counteract those stereotypes, then, if we've already been reduced to rejecting Watership Down as furry just because that pisses people off in a forum?
