I don’t get the kitten hate.

Because SoL launched shortly after the internet first found out about furries. Prior to that there wasn't much hate towards the idea of anthropomorphic races in video games and media. Anything prior to 2001 (ThunderCats etc) got grandfathered in but anything that got made for at least several years past that was too similar to furries for people to enjoy. While Kerrans did exist in vanilla EQ they were never really a big part of it for any one and were mostly forgotten about. Had they not been part of SoL it would probably be regarded as a much better expansion, sans the graphical update they pushed through as well. I know this because I also fell into the same trap and hated them for being "lol furries" and quit the game because it was going to shit. Years later when I played through SoL on a TLP server I realized that the expansion was actually pretty good and I liked it a lot more than SoV.
