The issue with a conservative company hiring always the same kind of people in creative roles is that the median output stops being fresh and creative.
Imagine for a sec if instead of heavily skewing towards white male writers and directors, LF skewed in the... furry direction.

(No offense to furries intended. I'll use total hair removal kinksters for my next example.)

How long would it take until all of the mega-media company space movies made you feel like you were watching Galaxy Dallas with Teddy Bears?
(Basically proletariat Ewoks vs. noble Wookies).

What if you... **gasp** had scales and didn't feel a connection with the hairy gaze?

Sure, there might be some self-aware furros that realized that there were other perspectives and brought them to their screens -- only to get shot down and heavily criticized by their aspirational furry audience.

(Which was not that interested, anyway, because between company guidelines and all those Bojack wannabe creatives, they had been getting the same story over and over.)

So at some point the company realizes that they HAVE to reach a larger audience -- and they decide that the protagonist of their next space saga is going to be A FISH.

Whaaaaat.

Halfway through their saga, they get a self-aware furry director and writer that is able to see other points of view and apply them to his work, and oh, look, a fresh take on the story where he considers the entire tree of life.
Was... Furryland, Inc. achieving balance?

Haircore fans make money out of their hate because of "it's not speciest, it's fur-reasons," reasons.

But then in the last installment, there's a FURRY PLOT TWIST -- the protagonist is not really a FISH, she's a maritime mammal descended from the LARGEST, HAIRIEST MAMUT. That's why she has a place in the story.
She ends alone on a desert, far from fish and furries.

You can understand why the scaly fans would feel... a tad insulted, while the furry bosses were congratulating themselves on a win-win storyline!

So, it is totally normal that after Furry, Inc. goes on to recruit another furry as a writer for a legacy story where the protagonist is, you guessed it, a furry, there might be some eyerolls from the scaled-skinned community.

We are sure that the new furry is a perfectly fine furry... but chances are, he's not going to bring anything new to the franchise. Judging by Furro Junior's CV, that's exactly WHY Furryland, Inc. hired him -- over many writers of other species with different perspectives.

It's sad, because of the speciecism of Furryland, Inc... but also because it signals a lack of vision and ambition.

We got one woke furry in the past 20 years, and even he moved on to the Donut Kink community.

Legosi is half-scaly and all the better for it, just saying, go watch Beastars.
