As has probably already been answered, the burned fur movemovement was
pretty much short stint on attention whores whining a lot and being
generally redundant. They fought the stereotype, and created another
in the process. Then they "left the fandom".
Unless you were on the west coast and/or attendended ConFURence during
the latter years they generally didn't amount to much other than some
easily avoidable binary. Which is kinda like failing at failing.
