Justification for restoration of page

The page history for this article only goes back to 27 March 2008, when it was re-instated as a redirect for the chubby bunny game.

Formerly it had been deleted , on the basis of vandalism, and firstly in 2006, due to concerns about notability and sources.

However, the Internet archive record for the page shows that prior to deletion it had existed in a basically stable form for three years.

The current version of the page now again covers same subject matter as previously; but is not a simple reversion to the former page. It now includes a link to a disambiguation page for other uses of the term, and has been completely rewritten to address the concerns about sources. The sources now referenced also provide a strong argument for notability.

There is however; still room to expand the article to include a discussion of the trends in Wicca that led to the coining of the term - as well as the significance of the term in relation to the wider context of historicity within wicca.

Prior Use

I'm not a Pagan or Neopagan, but I have found an earlier use of the quote in a magic-related sense. In the Vertigo (comics) series "The Books of Magic" issue #39 (August, 1997), a scene involves Tala (a Queen of Evil) coming to Zatanna for advice regarding her boyfriend, Tannarak. In the story, Tala dismissed Zatanna's disliking to her actions, saying, "What do you know about the imperatives of darkness? You've never seen past the shadows." Zatanna's reply was, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one with the problem?" After Talia was silent Zatanna's response was "So quit bashing my fluffy bunny worldview. It's all that's keeping me from stealing your hat." I'm not sure if this would fit into the article (It could be Original Research), but I just thought you might like to know.Orville Eastland (talk) 05:13, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The adjective "fluffy", which is also used in much the same sense (as a noun, as well as as an adjective) is used in this sense since at least the late 19th C. (OED). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.234.81.124 (talk) 22:23, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fluffy-bunny Christianity

The term has spread beyond Neopaganism and is increasingly applied in Christianity to imply that some Christians are theologically fluffy. If anyone is interested, I can find some sources. Thanks and regards. 38.100.35.16 (talk) 17:45, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An explanation of some irrelevant edits

Some time back there existed (and may well exist) a group of facebook that satirised the tendencies described in this article (and hence called themselves "fluff bunnies" as part of the satire. Some members of this group got into an argument about whether certain works were plagiarised. Those accused of plagiarism accused this group of bullying, especially after one of the books was pulled by its publishers due to large scale plagiarism. Some of the stranger edits to this page of late would appear to be due to supporters of one side or the other in this argument, but in neither case are they of any relevance to the topic in hand. The last one actually editted one of the quoted pieces, and quite apart from this turning the quote into a mis-quote, substantially changed the opinion stated in the quoted piece.
