What gets me is on the WoW forums whenever anyone asks for a playable beast race (The Arakkoa for example) everyone cries "Furry" as if that were an inherently bad thing to be and then the conversation just sinks and devolves from there. Every time.

It's like it's on version of Godwin's Law.

I'm not offended by it I'm just tired of it.
Understandable.

I enjoy beast-like races as well, to be honest, without being part of that particular fandom so I know it's possible to like said races without being in it. Unfortunately, people tend to automatically lump you in with them for desiring to play anything but a human looking humanoid. It's worse in their forums because it's a larger cesspool than these forums.

I played mostly Pandaren (when they were released) and you'd be surprised how many people, both of the fandom and not, lumped me in with it.
