[flagged]
Anyway, on-topic stuff so I don't get shitbanned: I feel bad for the author. Unfortunately, this will all get worse before it gets better (and I'm not so sure it'll get better).
Nothing wrong with it, but giving some sort of content warning isn't the worst thing in the world.
Personally, it does get annoying sometimes when two completely unrelated topics are fused into one - personally I'd find this kind of content equally as annoying as that cringe Gen X "Semiconductors with Brittany Spears" shtick, but to each their own.
There is nothing wrong with content flags or warnings, especially for stuff with a sensual or potentially sexual connotation.
No one owes you a content warning that "this site contains cartoons and that might annoy you."
In most cases, people do owe content warnings for content that is potentially sexual in nature.

It's a fetish. The topic is ostensibly professional. You must be deliberately ignoring the obvious to not see why OP said what they said. Not only is putting your fetish everywhere seen as unprofessional, furry cartoons are a neck breaking contrast to the potential seriousness of the topic.
Would you rather have images of cities, people smiling, and maybe a car or two? Or maybe you want a picture of a green forest or whatever? Those are the same pictures in many businesses' posts but they're also just as irrelevant and therefore just as unprofessional. The contrast is that the business should be professional while this blog post is a personal site.
God forbid someone add their own flair to their own personal opinions. Thankfully God doesn't exist, so it's not forbidden. You're just being rude.
It is a personal blog post. It's just an opinion, man. The topic could be professional, but it isn't. That doesn't make the topic any less interesting.
And, no, furry isn't a kink.
(Yes, I know literally anything CAN be a kink to some people, but there's a difference between "hypothetical individuals" and general truths that apply broadly to a group of people.)

Now that everyone and its dog does those "goofy" illustrations, I find them insufferable.
I am enjoying how bothered people are by it, though.
Oh, no... not Frosted flakes... that kinky tiger is scary.
Ceren era of the FreeBSD mascot?
Not going to link to it, because while it was all in good fun back then, it's not the sort of thing people do now.
Edit: Also before anyone gets sniffy about it, Ceren is actually fucking God-tier technically, and a great person.
Oh my sweet summer child
You really don't want to know what they did to our boy Tony
But at a conceptual level, I still didn't have a problem with mascots
The issue is with the furry community who take their fetishes way too far. For example the Tony the Tiger accounts had to be shut down after facing years-long constant sexual harassment from furries.
