Unfortunately the Alan T. Panda case was a judicial mess, and there were a few too many articles on that I would agree. I hope this case doesn't get a new article every time a mouse farts in the case. I would say that the only additional one should be when there is a final closing, if I were calling the shots on this.
You are correct there is no link between the act of pedophilia and the furry fandom, however, there is a reason that furries might be interested in knowing that an artist of theirs is going to jail. If they were friends of his, if they commissioned them, they'll now know not to expect replies.
It's not sensationalist because he was a furry, or called himself one. That's a fact, not some arbitrary thing made up by someone to "make us look bad". Now if someone's response to this article is that furries are more likely to be pedophiles, THAT is sensationalist. Or if someone thinks the whole world will think as those sensationalist do because of the article, that is sensationalist.
In the US, in 2010 the FBI reports that for every 10,000 children in this country 8.3 are victims of sexual assult now lets take the fact that there were 74.1 million US children in 2010 that means that means 61,503 children were molested in the year 2010 in the US... and those were just the ones reported. Now lets go back to how many of those were caused by furs... 1 and that's me being generous as the person was only alleged, I don't think they were arrested over it, and this is throughout the WORLD, not just the US. That means I don't even think they'd be among-st the reported.
This by the way was looking through the "sensationalist" websites, as you would call them. Mostly they bitch about FA or art commissions, relationship issues, and such. I think you're sensationalizing how much the sensationalists sensationalize pedophilia and it's connection to the fandom, and that sir is quite sensational.
