Well, it's got someone who says they're Taral Wayne with a claim about the UMAs being restricted to a single convention that's a decade out of date. Not sure that counts as controversy. (They commented before about its relevancy, and also dismissed FA as having "a couple of thousand members"; I think they might be stuck in a time-warp there, too.)
I agree that furry resembles a group of city-states; however, I don't see diversity as a negative, in awards, websites, or creators. Whether said awards matter is debatable for both furry and sci-fi. I'm sure plenty of people who consider themselves "sci-fi fans" could not name a single Nebula award-winner – even if they'd read the work concerned.
