The first thing he tells people is don’t say things like “we don’t all have sex in animal costumes” to reporters—don’t lead with a defensive comment. At one point he says he accepts everyone [into the fandom] then elsewhere in your film he starts excluding people he feels don’t represent furry in its best light
That's the thing about Kage that annoys me the most. He's done great things for the fandom and has so much influence but he's not consistent and he'll throw people under the bus for what he wants. You could justify it as for the greater good but it seems more like dragging furry back when furry could be pulling society forward.
It's interesting to hear it meant as more than just a hobby. I put it in the hobby category but the vast majority of my time outside of work is spent on the fandom and I realised I spent $150 on furry stuff and supporting furs this last month. Which is quite different to normal but regardless it's a lot of money to toss out there.
I've heard some interesting things about this documentary though and I do want to see it.
