* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Ralph, the Birdman of St. Eligius, is probably the UrExample in mainstream media. Ironically, he's written with considerably more nuance and sensitivity than most people who think they're animals are written on TV today, now that furry fandom is more widely known and heavily associated with squickiness. The show still used him mostly for laughs, although it avoided making viewers look down their nose at him. When the Birdman decides [[spoiler:he can fly away from the hospital by jumping off the roof in "Graveyard"]], nobody's laughing.
