I'm a tad concerned for the integrity of PFO's setting. While the original seven races will be the only playable ones at first, we can't forget that paizo has rules for catfolk, ratfolk, monkey people and other blatant furry races. I'm extremely worried that later expansions/updates will allow furies to frolic through the game unimpeded.
It's not that I believe all furries should be thrown away in camps (this would be a terrible burden on the tax payers) but we should not extend the olive branch to them either.I have several reasons why PFO should not be a furry friendly game.
-Allowing (INSERT ANIMAL HERE) people into the world would be taking a shit on D&D's Tolkien origins and cramming a World of Warcraft aesthetic down the players' throats.
-Furries tend to admire other furries and network with each other. On the surface this seems like a good thing because it will inspire racial interest guilds. However in practice this will just amount to a bunch of cat people elitists engaging in cybersex activity the second they aquire property.
-Some races (mostly non core) have animalistic features while being undeniably better designs than furry races. For example:
+Strix have a haunting bird/bat like appearance, but aren't as simple as "human + x animal"
+Half Orcs look like bestial monsters. The image of an ape or boar comes to mind.
+Tieflings have horns which are arguably goat like.
In conclusion, please don't let this game devolve into furry masturbation fodder.
