psychic stench

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.
