Furries are nasty. That's why I'll never watch Disney's Robin Hood every again.

Oh wow, you mean it actually finally got finished and released!?!?? I'll have to check it out if I ever hook my 360 back up.

I last saw/heard anything about the game like four years ago. Did they get rid of the gigantic eyed SO KAWAII YIFFY ^__^! character face designs with the huge eyes? That's the one thing that looked awful to me about the game. Well, that and the horrible running animation. Aside of those two things, the game did look beautiful, and I know one dude pretty much made the whole game, so I can't fault the aforementioned flaws too harshly, no more so than I can fault the choppy animation in the absolutely brilliant Voices of a Distant Star.

I don't know how old you are or how much time you spent online in the late 90s/early 2000s, but many furries earned their own hatred and hatred for their community two-fold during those time periods. They were absolute drama magnets, the laughing stock of the internet's subcultures, and an absolute trolling paradise. Something Awful and Portal of Evil had all the material they ever needed to keep going as sites thanks to the furry fandom all on it's own. Furry DeviantArt and LJ accounts were comedy goldmines. I can't count how many times I saw furries scream "FURSECUTION" and compare Something Awful articles making fun of poorly constructed fursuits to the experiences of Jews in the Halocaust and Black Americans during the civil rights movement, and they were dead serious.

As time has went on, Furries have blended in with the crowd though, especially with the birth of the Brony movement, whom the layman would find indistinguishable from furries. Aside of a few diehards out there, no one really cares about furries anymore. No one that matters, anyway. I too am curious where you saw such backlash against the game due to furries though, because I haven't seen any furry hating drama in years.

As for why people give a damn who made the game and what their sexual preferences are, despite them having nothing to do with the game? Well, people are stupid.
