Why Are Furries Misunderstood?

Subcultured is an original documentary series that sheds a well-deserved light on the lesser-known subcultures that inspire and influence mainstream culture today, from gamers with disabilities to the cowboys and cowgirls of the gay rodeo. Filmmaker Josef Lorenzo explores the origins of different subcultures and what makes those communities unique and important spaces.

Why Are Furries Misunderstood?

Season 1 Episode 11 | 11m 40s | CC

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.
