I'm thinking it is not even an issue of too much black & white, but an issue of one is black versus white and another is red versus blue. You seem to be defining success of the fandom in terms of this ability to reach outside the fandom, whereas I disagree, not about the possibility, but about defining success as such. Disagreeing is not accepting failure or fear of rejection if not even thinking of it as a matter of success or failure.
The particular issue is not that someone within the fandom can't create something that transcends the fandom, but that as work broadens its appeal, it loses characteristics identified with the furry fandom. At some point it is just as possible to for a non-fur to produce such a work as a furry, and the furry influence becomes inconsequential, beyond being one of many possible muses.
And I did get lazy after several attempts at registration here didn't work, but also don't think it matters. I don't care who the posts, mine or others, are attributed to (unless an actual appeal to authority is relevant), as it is about the contents of the posts (or lack there of in some other recent cases).
