I'm just glad you guys are sorting this complex set of categories out. The very cerebration of these furry variations gives me conniption palpitations.

I'm thinking Camacan was saying that "The very thought of these furry variations gives me heart/panic attack"

I don't want to look like a weaboo, but somehow the Japanese got it right - their kemonos are distinct from their kemonomimis. Why can't we simply group it like that?

It is now — "Kemono" and "Kemonomimi" are redirects to separate articles.

(Though I still dislike the name established for the latter....)

[up][up] Because we are also categorizing non-Japanese equivalents.

But what are these "non-Japanese equivalents"? Krystal and Gadget are "kemono".

Yes, but no one in the west knows how to spell those or what the difference is. We're trying to make things clearer. Using obscure Japanese words as titles just adds to the confusion. They're redirects, but they don't make good main titles.

(And I for my $.02 am no fan of the current main title.)

I'm not a huge fan either, but they're better than the Japanese titles or some of the other examples that have been proposed.

sure, but it doesn't have the same grammar as the old name (adjective vs. noun), and might need monitoring for confusion with Beast Man. "Animal-eared" is the English translation of Japan's pre-existing term and should at least have some variant as a redirect.

It should. I'd be happy with it as a main name but some people thought it was too narrow and that other minor beast traits should fit in there as well.

The crowner had far too many options anyway. I'm tempted to ask for a runoff vote, but....

Guys, I think you're talking about the split-off page (Little Bit Beastly). Are there any remaining issues with the current form of Petting-Zoo People?

If not, then let's lock this thread. You can always take your issues with Little Bit Beastly to a new thread specifically about that page.

I generally refuse to call it by that unsightly name, but yeah, I guess it is a different topic.

Is the name Petting Zoo People still up for debate? Or is it agreed upon? I would like to have an alternative name, but that's just me.

...huh?

The crowner was called some time ago. The contents of the "old" Petting-Zoo People were moved, ultimately to the title of (argh) Little Bit Beastly, and a new YKTTW was drafted to become the current Petting-Zoo People.

So, uh, is there anyone who actually does like the name "Little Bit Beastly"? I'm failing to see how it ended up as the title when people only have bad things to say about it.

It was the least bad title we had and we wanted to go ahead with the split. I really think we picked it more as a place holder until we could figure out a better one.

Here's the old crowner. [Current title] was the top option at +4 -2 votes, but that's hardly a strong consensus considering only about 6 or 7 people actually voted.

Anyone feel like making a new crowner in a separate thread? Pin a tail on it, this topic is done.

Hopefully we can get more than 6-7 total input on the top option this time.
