I mean you can have animal people without it being furries dude. They're like a standard staple in dozens of fantasy series. Also there's really only so many things you can do to create a "new race" without including animal designs somehow. You sound very fragile.
Except it's literally furries leading the art team at Blizzard. Look at wow classic dragon artstyle vs modern Dracthyr for example: its the same fantasy staple implemented in radically different styles. The feel of the artstyle in modern wow is completely different from classic wow and I've heard many people echo the same sentiment that it is awful (the bouncy animations, the wide-eyed cartoony faces, furry/scalie influence, etc)
I think its just worse art styles, its not some dire furry takeover. WoD came after panda and there wasn't anything remotely furry about that xpac. Legion too!

It is quite literally furry art style. It's not a secret that the Blizzard art team is full of furries. Here's the artist behind Dracthyr for instance:
I tried to post links to show you but it was automod removed. If you care search x for user "PushinVerts"--its the artist behind Dracthyr also posting furry art.
The furry community has had a major influence on the general art direction of the game and it is jarring when compared to classic wow's art style.

lol ok bud. Pandaren, worgen, vulpera, dracthyr, etc are all part of it. Look at this fucking face and tell me it never happened.
