This, exactly. Teapot is meant in good fun / humor and leaves no harm in its wake when using it (that I can see).
Whereas Teacup has deeply hurt the breed...has resulted in terrible breeding practices and in unethical breeders who use the term to lure in naive buyers who don't know better yet. Look at how they're using teacup in the Korean market right now, and it's just deplorable.
