    It’s definitely a newer usage, and perhaps not common in many areas, but it’s grown fast. Twelve years ago, the trademark office didn’t think “furry” meant anything but “covered in fur”. Five years later, they denied “FurryCon” as being merely descriptive of a class of fan conventions.
    That sounds like a good way to resolve the problem in an extensible way, as you never know what else might be added within the paragraph (it could be an issue if there’s links, with their own inherent style – you might need further overrides for the text decorations). Hope it works for you!

    I do have a suggestion; please don’t use the term “small furries” when you mean “small pets” or “small animals”.
    “Furries” nowadays more commonly means “fans of anthropomorphic animals” (of whom the most visible subset are fursuiters who wear animal costumes), and while technically your usage is unlikely to confuse a reader in context, it *does* confuse Google Alerts, to the extent that it highlights forum posts such as this.
    As for the technical issue, perhaps modify the script to apply the style directly to the element as an attribute rather than via CSS, in the cases you wish it to be hidden? Or to remove the element entirely, but that may cause flow issues.
