Under represented? Certainly not. There are plenty of positive articles and interviews with hobbyist furries. The term your looking for misrepresented.
You may think furry is a well known thing, but it's not. It certainly doesn't have the mainstream familiarity that comic conventions have with the general public and it's a hell of lot more difficult to wrap ones head around. I've known what a furry was for a years but until I actually joined the fandom I had no idea how complex and diverse it was. You said it yourself, it can be an identity for some people being a furry that is not something that can be easily understood by an outsider and it can lead to misconceptions. I very much would have preferred the documentary had a spectrum of fans from the mundane to the extreme.
