This is a case of knowing your audience. This article was written by a furry and I got about zero idea what the hell they're talking about.

He’s a Steve!

I understood all the lingo except Steve. I don’t know that one.

Edit: Apparently it’s another name for non-furries.

Fleshies / Smoothies: Outsiders to the fandom. Furries often make fun of them as “Steve” or “Steves”.
