Image replacement proposal

A typical furry character of an anthropomorphic felid

Hey folks, I'm here to discuss the article in the quickest possible way. I recently made a cropped version of the original (pictured) because it was "oversexualized and unrepresentative." What do y'think about replacing an existing image with a new one?

Is there any good reason why the article needs to be illustrated with artworks anyway? This is an article about a group of people, not a cartoon, and article illustrations are supposed to show the subject matter. Commons has many good photos of individuals in its 'fursuits' category and subcategories: we should be able to find one amongst that if none of the existing photos used in our article aren't suitable to go at the top of the page.

There's nothing "good" about finding different photos instead of artworks where everything is just irrelevant to what you prefer. Therefore, I won't help you with improving the article anyway.

I quite like the image proposed , the artstyle is more representative and feels more relevant of the fandom currently. People remember first impressions the most and that is most likely going to be the first image they see so it should be good artwork that represents the fandom in it's current state. The current picture doesn't look like a "a typical furry character" like you see online, atleast not anymore. 10fps man (talk) 17:59, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
i agree! though, if the image proposed does end up being used in the article, some credit to the artist should be provided. a link wouldn't be needed obviously, but providing their online handle and the platform the work appeared on would be a good idea. it might also be a good idea to ask the artist if they would mind their work appearing on this article.

Remove "along with sport fans," (under the Sociological Aspects heading); it's an unnecessary comparison 2601:281:D17F:9DBD:5951:F070:B0AF:92D8 (talk) 10:12, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Yup, doesn't seem particularly relevant. I've removed it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 10:35, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
