CSI is a low bar to beat isn't it? Trashy murder stories aren't meant for learning. But I'm having trouble imagining a significant section of documentary watchers who do it just to confirm dull prejudices. Worrying about lowest common denominators and "potential" problems like that could stop you from saying or doing anything, like Green was saying.
About people potentially becoming misinformed because they don't "know enough about the fandom to see these people as non-representative of the fandom as a whole", that's what documentaries are for... they're on youtube since 13 years ago and anyone who wants a boring 101 intro can go watch another. This one has it's subjects disagreeing with each other about representation, avoiding that in and of itself.
The movie's #2 on Google Play right next to Michael Moore, it's playing on planes, and I noticed a bump in world searches for "furries" on Google trends. That has to include more than furries. I've sat in 2 audiences for it and heard little but positive and curious comments, with many saying "that's not what I thought it would be". The only backlash so far seems to come from friends of Kage and furries themselves who typically refuse to watch it.
