(53,112 posts)I think I saw a CSI episode or something about them. That's the extent of my knowledge though. I didn't know of any specialized vocabulary.

(29,414 posts)Although fantasy does factor heavily into much of it. If you know what the real fur of any particular animal is like, the imagination can take care of the rest.
I heard about the CSI episode, and then the anger in the fandom from how they were presented. There were even some threads about it in The Lounge back the day, and not much fun for anyone on the receiving end so to speak...
