Boston Globe: Furries are finally having their moment.
It was originally titled “Revenge of the furries.” The revenge is on haters who should accept Furry as something that’s always been around, and not exotic weirdness. “Finally” is a good word to see about one of the most genuinely loveable subcultures of the internet age.

Furry Weekend Atlanta: Journalist gets it.
“I was fascinated to meet people who are so invested in a niche, often ostracized interest. It’s hard, emotional labor to love anything society labels uncool – teens everywhere can attest. But thousands of those people – fursuit fans – were coming together, and I got to be a respectful witness to their community.”
That’s beautiful. Thanks, Maura Friedman. And there’s also this: Furry Weekend Atlanta takes over Downtown.
Escapist Magazine: COSPLAY DOSSIER – Why I Love Furries. A wonderfully positive piece – there’s a lot of those lately, and who’s complaining?
