I'm a furry too, and I have been since the early 00's, when that episode was really infamous. At the time, it really upset me, partly because I was younger and going through that phase where I was really sensitive to anything that I felt was putting down my interests, but also because it was around the time when hating furries was the "cool" thing to do online and I saw a lot of posts on various sites along the lines of "Furries are so gross, I saw them on CSI!", citing it as if it was a legitimate source.

Now? I find not only that episode, but pretty much every crime drama that tries to be all "relevant"by making references to subcultures to be completely ridiculous to the point where all I can really do is just roll my eyes. The other day I heard my cousin talking to my brother about how ridiculous the Law and Order episode about Gamergate was, and we all just sort of cringe-laughed. That's what those shows are, ridiculous, and they really shouldn't be taken seriously at all. I think the only problem is when people do take them seriously and act like they are a legitimate source of information about subcultures.

Same! I'm not surprised by younger folk getting defensive about their favourite thing getting mocked, but still. How can anyone take those eps seriously enough to get mad about them. It's like getting mad about a conservative news channel interviewing nobody related to video games about video games.
