What exactly are you planning on doing to this plushie that it’d get “dirty” that it requires a trip through the washing machine? I don’t think these are meant to be children’s toys; they are what many people would call a “collectible” - designed to be lightly snuggled, perhaps kept on one’s bed. Not taken on trips to the beach, park, or a restaurant where they might get “dirty”.
I love plushies, and I can tell you that, in my decades of experience, bead-weighted plushies ARE machine-washable. And everything short of, say, a cat horking onto the plushie itself would be surface-cleanable with a damp washcloth.
Also, if you don’t like it, you could always (shocking option) not pledge for it/choose it. There will be other large-sized options to choose from.
And if you want “fox-bird-accurate” plushies and don’t like these ones, go make your own campaign rather than being openly hostile towards the creator of this one.
You’re not giving your “opinion”, you’re attacking.
