Their fursuit's cuteness is not the point. The point is how this discourse was handled.
The side who looks confident may not necessarily mean they're fully so. The side who looks convincingly is going to win may not necessarily mean they're a reliable source in the first place.
I feel that solely moving towards the side that seems like it's going to win without considering the information reliability part (I.e. considering independent and third party sources and other sides and perspectives) and instantly considering them "reliable" is simply digging a rabbit hole for confirmation bias and preventing yourself from being informed bias-free on this situation.
