"but it looks like this is seriously going to be a thing when talking about furry fandom from now on"
Not "from now on" this argument is as old as the fandom. It comes mostly from people who found furry and saw it had similarities to their own interests. Therians, otherkins, zoophiles. They co opted the fandom for their own needs. None of those things have anything to do with anthropomorphic animals, which furry is at its most basic. You're not bringing anything new nor are you special.
I think you're being melodramatic. It's like this for a lot of people who are new to the fandom. It's overwhelming and new and wonderful, so they obsess over it.
The furry fandom is really cool, but it's not something to make your life revolve around. It's just not.
Tell me how artistic renditions of anthropomorphic animals are a large facet of your everyday life.
