P.S. I wish there had been more pushback against the "furry" intrusion.
Why? Can you articulate a reason for that, or is it just more unconsidered socially-trained hate? The nice thing about them simply adding more layers and more variance to their cosmology is that there are things there for various different people to use as it appeals most to them or as works for a particular game or adventure; if some element of that cosmology is not relevant, does not inspire or is something you're not interested in, then you just don't us it and don't seek it out. Lots of people love modrons, for example, while plenty of other people don't even know what modrons are. It's not as though 5e is the first edition to have beastfolk in wide variety, not by by a long shot.
I'm genuinely curious to hear what you think this 'furry intrusion' is, what you imagine it causes, and why you think it's a bad thing.
