It's not confusing to anyone who knows what furries are like. The fandom is an ass-patting hugbox echo chamber which is amplified on already autistic speds who barely have a frame of reference for normal socialization to begin with. But it's interesting that he said

so on some level he does possess the tiniest amount of theory of mind and social awareness that normies don't like furry fetish porn in children's entertainment. I know he thinks it's fine because the age rating of his work is different to the original work, but I doubt you'd get away with making an all ages family-friendly cartoon about a Zone-tan recolor while publicly citing Zone as your inspiration.
