Given the source of the character appearance (and fideliy to it), this is not an entirely unreasonable position:
We discussed this over a year ago at Inkbunny - the piece under consideration [NSFW] was right on the line, but the cat-like facial characteristics ultimately rendered it "not human" (it's unclear whether it's furry, but that's not a requirement at IB).
Of course, I'm hardly one to talk when it comes to alien characters being represented as furries . . .
I believe crossaffliction does not see Avatar's beings as anthropomorphic animals, but aliens, and therefore thinks it should not have won Best Anthropomorphic Movie. (Also, that Fantastic Mr. Fox was better.)
