  Thanks yea I see there are some reasonable people here in the comments.

  Nobody has suggested a solution to my problem, most responses just say that my coworkers need to grow up, or that I need to fight harder at work or some BS.

  None of that address the Issue.

    It has been an upsetting thread to read; in frustrated on your behalf OP. I think many commenters here have not worked in the kind of environment you’re describing, and “get another job” is deeply unhelpful advice.

    I’m with you OP. I’m surprised by the lack of rationality in this thread.

    Yes, a more professional looking solution would benefit all parties, especially if the developer wants supporters.

    First impressions matter. If anything about the first impression is polarizing, potential users and supporters of the project will be lost. Your coworkers’ reactions have proven that the solution could be marketed better. It’s not your job to hard sell your coworkers on furries and .lol domains.

      Some comments on here have been ridiculous, someone literally said that I should be fine bringing furriers up at work and got lots of upvotes. I hope they’re trolling and haven’t completely lost touch with reality.

      Something being perfectly fine and acceptable, doesn’t make it okay at work.
