"Notice, though, that Furry is a verb, a word that requires something to take action. It is the act of appreciating anthropomorphs at a deep level."
Okay then:
Fat is a verb because to be it requires an individual to not exercise and eat fatty foods...
Liberal is a verb because it requires someone to go to vote for Democrat Candidates
American is a verb because it requires someone to be born in America or to file paper work to be one.
Makes sense, if only that were true we wouldn't have to learn what an adjective is.
A verb is not a word that has a requirement to take an effect a verb IS an action. What you describe is called simply a "requirement". If an action causes someone's identity to change thus bequeaths them a new adjective, that adjective is still an adjective.
Now when it comes to "furry" being an ambiguous term then I would agree and have previously. We use it currently to describe the fans and the things we like so when we get people arguing "WHAT is and isn't furry" then of course it's going to draw into debates on "WHO is and is not furry" because as it currently stands furry describes people and things.
Of course changing the usage of a word isn't so simple as saying "it would make things more efficent in understanding", just as trying to make a language universal would be. Vocabulary and vernacular are very personal things, and the word furry has been used in both meanings for so long changing it now would cause contention with people in furry who have gotten used to doing what society tends not to do. Understand something through context rather then one fleeting word.
