It's not a rebrand or a compromise
It's the result of the ambiguity of language
Some people think "furry" means anyone that finds any anthro character attractive. By this measure a majority of people are furries. Ever seen a "hear me out" party? Like 99% of basic bitches wanted fox Robin Hood and 99% of basic dudes wanted Lola Bunny.
Others think "furry" exclusively refers to the people that buy or make massive mascot costumes and go to cons and fuck each other in said costumes. That's a vanishingly small portion of the population.
Then there's all this grey area of people that identify as anthros or outright animals but don't dress up, people that participate in chats but don't identify as anything strange, people that draw "anthro art," etc.
What's funny to me is that the original furry hate was specifically targeted at fursuiters and the most obnoxious and dramatic whiners (pic very related), but modern retards desperate to fit in with SA culture that died before they were born don't get that and think they're supposed to want to murder people that post Judy Hopps.
