I think your documentary is biased, as it’s been made and hosted by a furry themselves. On the Wikipedia page about furry fandom, it says: > The furry fandom has its roots in the underground comix movement of the 1970s, a genre of comic books that depicts explicit content.[5] In 1976, a pair of cartoonists created the amateur press association Vootie, which was dedicated to animal-focused art. Many of its featured works contained adult themes, such as "Omaha" the Cat Dancer, which contained explicit sex. As well, it even has a section dedicated to sexuality, where it states: > In a different online survey, 33% of furry respondents answered that they have a "significant sexual interest in furry", another 46% stated they have a "minor sexual interest in furry", and the remaining 21% stated they have a "non-sexual interest in furry". Although you may not engage with it sexually, it very much has a sexual following. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom

Almost every expert who has seriously studied the furry community has come to the same consensus: The public imagination is wrong, often hilariously so.

  >Almost every expert who has seriously studied the furry community has come to the same consensus: The public imagination is wrong, often hilariously so. Almost any expert who dared say otherwise would expect a backslash, being called fascist or whatever, and probably cancellation. So there's that.

    Furries are notorious severe SJWs and far-leftists, so your comment checks out.

I read your articles, thanks for sharing. A community of people can loudly declare whatever they want, it’s their actions that determine who they are. Go and look at some surveys from furries, like the ones listed in the Wikipedia article. Although they say it’s not about sex, they respond differently in private.
