Compared to the more famous notorious spots on furry fandom, this didn't hurt much at all. As a counter to "furry = fetish" view, though, I think it's a bit lackluster.
Skimming through the article, you see these headings:
"Why Mickey Mouse wears pants"
"It’s not just about humping stuffed animals"
"It’s just like loving your pet – really!"
"Again, it’s not just about animal lust"
For an article trying to say that furry isn't all about sex, a rather significant portion of it is going on about the sexual aspect. It comes across like denying a shameful problem ("I can quit any time I want to.") I think the point would have been better conveyed by talking about the less scandalous things we enjoy.
