So, are you all, like, animals or something?
Pitch Weekly, a free alternative newsweekly
in Kansas City, has a nine-page cover story on furry fandom: Critter Camp Out. It mentions the Vanity Fair article and the fandom's discontent with its portrayal therein, though this article is still plenty explicit. A well-adjusted fur is described so:
Sure, he tells friends he's a German shepherd, but he doesn't actually want to be one someday. Stuffed animals don't arouse him, nor do living ones. He likes some of the sexy, furry art that's out there, but what keeps him coming back is the companionship. His network of friends stretches across the globe.
