He's not wrong that there's a certain psychic stench that comes along with anything furry (which has been distinct from anthromorphic animals for many years) in games.
Those who are prone to furry-ism either have a proper, deep sense of shame over it, in which case they hide their power level, or else they're more flamboyant than the head batontwirler at a gay pride parade.
Those who hide their power level, who conceal their "psychic stench" as you put it, aren't going out and making symbols of furry-dom in mass media. They get artists through college by buying ill-advised furry art, and that's usually about it. It's the ones who DO broadcast themselves, that also make the major marketing content. Of course, that overt crowd is ALSO the type of crowd to get obsessed with pronouns, DEI, BRIDGE, sexual open promiscuity, etc etc. Which as we know, ruin games (and most other things, too).
A "furry game", or one made by a pro-furry advocate, would have all the pitfalls of the left, PLUS the additional subculture issues unique to that subculture.
I misread that as trench and, yeah, there's a huge, gaping chasm between humanoid animal characters and furries. It's like the difference between a character that's black and a black character; people can sense the intention of the author behind their work and instinctually reject fringe preferences. Luckily, it often percolates throughout their work and is as easily identifiable as other red flags of corruption like CalArts.
