Why Are Furries Misunderstood?
The furry fandom is a subculture fascinated by anthropomorphic animals. But furries are stigmatized by the public, and have historically been misunderstood by the media. In this episode, host Josef Lorenzo meets with furries in New York and VR, to find out what it means to be a furry and with Dr. Sharon Roberts from the Furscience project, to better understand how furries protect each other.
