However, there is also an (albeit comparatively small) movement of those who are horrified by the above association to define the popular usage of arguably Furry fandom's most successful example of jargon into something more generally acceptable, their agenda being to advertise furry fandom as being all about nice clean fun amongst a friendly and tolerant community; most furries, though, feel that doing so takes away an important part of what it means to be furry, arguing that even though furry fandom encompasses much more than just sex, the sexual side of furryness cannot and should not be denied, either.
Most furries generally tend to ignore these controversies, but occasionally, the matter surfaces again; for example, at the 1997's Albany Anthrocon convention, three different groups (the "sexy", "fun", and "I'm-tired-of-the-whiners" factions) all took to writing "I'M YIFFY!" on their name-badges; the confusion and ill-karma this generated in the extremists was of great amusement to the convention attendees.
