Copyrighted hybrid characters

I want to ask members and watchers their opinion on the inclusion of copyrighted hybrid species, specifically cabbits (cat-rabbits from the Tenchi Muyo series) ottsels (otter-weasels from the Jak and Daxter series), and certain NeoPets species.

Cabbits as a concept aren't horribly unique, and there are a few feline/lapine crossbreeds in the group already, including one or two that even refer to the character by that moniker. However, the group does have rules against "altered" versions of existing characters, and cabbits as they appear in the Tenchi Muyo universe don't have anthro forms [that I'm aware of] which would qualify under the definition of "anthro" that this group operates by.

Ottsels, on the other hand, are almost exclusively restricted to Jak and Daxter fanart/fancharacters. They are also already bipedal and sentient, despite an overall more animalistic appearance.

So my question is this:

Should HybridAnthro accept ottsel and Tenchi-style cabbit characters into the group galleries? Why or why not?

Also, a reminder: You can submit other people's art into the group! If you find a cool hybrid anthro character out there, submit it to the group! It will need to be accepted by both the group and the artist, but a lot of art in the group is already submitted this way. Art not accepted by the artists will still be added to the group's favorites. Members can submit three deviations a week.

Hmm... I'm not sure.
For me, I don't really mind! I mean, they're still hybrid anthropomorphic characters I suppose. I kind of see Ottsels and Tenchi-styled Cabbits as more fanart, but does that negate it from being Hybrid?

I guess I don't really know... I'm a bad person to ask, haha, I just thought I should reply since there was no comments. I don't think anyone would mind whatever your decision, if they did, either way, they had their chance to say yay or nay.
