That's the typical Karen isn't it? xD The ones on TV that throw a hissy fit because one person unrelated to them bought a chocolate cake and they happen to have opinions about it.

The word furry came on this thread solely because some rude people like the one a few posts before came here to freely insult Hrothgars players :/

So yes, those noble and cute Hrothgars well deserve their female counterparts!
I'm a furry, it really doesn't insult me. But yeah you're exactly right, I think it shouldn't be used as a slur. Because it's only going to insult people who aren't a furry, and it's going to make furries who aren't on the "weirder" side of the internet feel bad for being associated to the fandom.
Labelling people stuff they are not is a problem, regardless what the label may be if your intention isn't to be pleasant :T
