Heh, reminds me of reading about this journalist who rocked up at a Furry convention, and was expecting literal Sodom and Gomorrah to be happening, because of the media hype at the time. She got ... a completely normal and unspectacular fan convention, but I guess she was expecting some sort of combined techno party / fursex BDSM orgy.
I'm pretty positive there would be an episode of SVU about furry-sex murders out there somewhere.
*BTW I actually think the furry-hate from other fandoms is a bit toxic: it's playing into the same media narrative that has attacked D&D, Heavy Metal, Punk, Gamers, Comic book fans, anime fans, goths, and pretty much every other subculture since the 1950s. When other "outcast" subcultures jump on the bandwagon to slag off other - actually very similar - subcultures, it's playing into the mainstream establishment's hands in a similar manner to how some "upwardly mobile" black people buy into racist narratives against other blacks. e.g. so anime fans for example ragging on furries is kinda ironic, since the anime fans are trying to create distance between themselves and the furries, yet they themselves are derided as "weeaboos" by pretty much the same people ragging on furries. Then you have other subcultures e.g. hardcore gamers ragging on both "weeaboos" and "furries" while those other subcultures are almost equally degraded by a lot of mainstream media. Using the analogy of racial politics again, it's similar to a posited reason why extremely poor whites are racist against black people - to not be racist against blacks would be to accede that they themselves are on the bottom rung of the social ladder. People at or near the bottom-rung have a vested interest in throwing other people under the bus as more pitiful than themselves. And this is what you see when you have "furries" thrown under the bus by other marginalized subcultures.
** also note: the theory that furries have sex a lot is posited on the concept that a dude who dresses up as Sonic The Hedgehog has sex more often than people who don't dress up as Sonic the Hedgehog. Immediately, it should be clear how fallacious the idea is. BTW I just finished watching every episode of To Love Ru, so i'm now going to go off and bang my harem of Space Babes.
