To be fair, we don't know what they're going to show yet, it could be an honest look, or not, but when you think about it, it has to be better than the portrayal of Furries in fantasy shows like CSI, which unfortunately most viewers took to be real.. ;)
Well actually some thought it was totally made up, until they met a real live Furry, then it was, 'Oh my gosh, CSI! I didn't know that Furries was a real thing!' If they were bold, they'd sometimes ask quietly, 'What about that it's a sexual thing..' I got that a couple of times after CSI.
I think that documentary TV in some ways is what the future is going to look like, because they are looking at what are now taboo topics and the fringes of life experience.
I don't see documentaries as trying to make a rebel thing out of their topics, it seems like they want to show something that's new and different, and try to find answers to the questions the audience might have, and with enough drama to make the show interesting.
There are some serious Were-people and Otherkin who enjoy the Furry scene, they just tend to keep quiet about it because of the way the wind is blowing currently. Rest assured if you go to a Furry convention, you're steps away from Otherkin, Therians, Weres, and more, those who have 'other' relationships with animals in some way. That innocent looking guy you made con friends with in the hall could be wishing he was on four feet, RIGHT NOW, as a full real timberwolf. Is that scary or what!?
