My first introduction to this phenomenon was Acerfur. Ever after, whenever an online discussion of Lean gets too technical, I realize every avatar is in a fursuit.

5-panel SMBC comic update. Two women talk as they walk on a beach. The first asks "why do people say furries run every IT department?" This leads the second to start a passionate explanation over 4 panels, where she states: "that’s an outdated stereotype. The internet is indeed sustained by furries, but your modern furry is also the core user of automated proof solvers tied to machine learning. Furries don’t just run IT. They run math itself. Soon we will open nature’s book, written in the language of god, and only the furries will know how to read!" After the speech, the first woman reacts by saying "woof," as an expression similar to "yikes" or "wow," and the second woman responds "precisely," associating it with the sound of an animal.
