How is somebody making money using their fursuits (which isn't a new thing by any means), different than people making money selling fursuits or art, or whatever in the fandom. What we've managed to avoid is having corporate control of the content we enjoy. That's not about to change. We'll embrace content we like such as Zootopia and I expect the upcoming CATS, but we don't need that content for our fandom to continue and no corporation can really control what we create ourselves. That's a major advantage of meta-fandoms like furry, anime, sci-fi, etc. If we have gotten big enough for companies to pander to us a bit, great! If they want to use some furry content for their marketing, hey cool. It means more will see it.
