All these people - the interviewer, the commenters - worrying about how the public is going to react to this movie, when they could just go out and see how they're already reacting.
The Pittsburgh premiere was sold out. I saw an audience full of non-furries laugh with fursuiters as they danced and squeaked. Gasp at insults and death threats thrown at Chew and Boomer. Squirm in their seats as Varka demonstrated "cum-lube" - but still listen when he explained the importance of embracing your sexual identity. And they truly did fall in love with Boomer. He was there in person for the Q&A afterward (along with the director, in suit) and I'm certain he never felt more welcome anywhere in his life - certainly moreso than at a furry convention.
Of the several articles about this movie I've seen in non-furry media, not one has reacted the way so many people are expecting. The most critical review I read actually claimed the movie painted too rosy a picture. Ironically, the people most concerned about the sexual honesty of the film seem to be furries themselves.
