#furries against fascism

[victusinveritas]

So this happened after the Heritage Foundation leak. It made me chuckle.

SiegedSec has also claimed that it has disbanded.

The Furries have been in the trenches against Fascism for a long time, because it turned out there were some Fascist Furries infiltrating conventions and...Furry cons briefly became a reenactment of the Spanish Civil War except the good guys won this time.

Here's a good podcast on the fight against the Furred Reich.

just saw a furry on twitter fighting tooth and nail against just like basic common knowledge about kamala harris’ special brand of fascism and they were “signing” replies with 4 hammer and sickles lmao i hate this country i hate this country i hate this country i hate this country i hate this country

[abbiistabbii]

Never thought Furries would be a faction out here fighting against fascism. The chief exec told one of the hackers that he was going to expose closet furries and send him to be raped in federal prison too.

We should all salute these furry hackers for their great work in fighting this bullshit. o7

Furries against fascism!- -RAWR!!!

so the season finale of superhero satire show The Boys released, and apparently holds some similarities to the recent trump assassination attempt. i dont know what that entails, i havent seen the episode yet. the thing im here to talk about is this disclaimer they put in:

this has bothered several people, as the boys is a series up to its eyeballs in violence, gore, and distaste for both the political right and the wanton harm inflicted by american empire. this disclaimer has struck them as evidence that the show has nothing to say; that however much it calls out the growing fascism in our world and shows the protagonists beating the personifications of said fascism to death, it is ultimately just a product of a corporate ecosystem that wishes for a perpetual status quo.

now, i dont want to say this is an argument completely coming from nowhere. its entirely reasonable to be extra critical of a show produced by a company like amazon. but its deeply silly to look at this disclaimer and read that as the mask slipping.

like, here, ill show an example. heres a disclaimer for a garrys mod "anti furry" weapon sticker pack.

this is pretty clearly a disingenuous attempt to cover ones ass. the description also includes a line telling furries that "bestiality is wrong" and calling people fags. hes an angry guy and he wants to be able to upload his black sun sticker without getting flagged for hate speech.

so the question im left asking is why are people unable to look at the disclaimer in the boys the same way? since when has the heart of a piece of art ever been in the disclaimer?

ill be real, i dont like that such a disclaimer is there in the first place. its a reminder that even if the boys is able to get away with a lot, it still exists in a context where what it does is described as something gotten away with. does that make the show less genuine, less authentic? maybe. the relationship between art and capital is long and tense. praise be to the cynics with more restraint than i when it comes to engaging in corporate art. i just caution against being so dogmatic about your cynicism that a disingenuous effort to cover ones ass overwrites what a work is actually saying.

I swear young people (especially teenagers) are the most judgmental to pro-shipping and dark content and it's just so weird to me since they are the ones that consider themselves the most open minded and are supportive of things such as furries but draw the line if someone supports romantic pairings that are deemed problematic.

For example, one time, a girl (American nonetheless)no older than 17 wished me to get r@ped just because I told them that I liked non-con stories😐.

There's definitely a trend and it's not just on tumblr. Book banning, anti-LGBTQA+ laws, violence against the queer community, increased public and private surveillance, and Christian-fascism on the rise are all factors that we see reflected in online communities.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Just know that you still have a strong community who is there for you, and you'll find most of them in literature- and queer-friendly spaces.

I might get canceled for saying this, so I apologize in advance. But I am no longer answering asks about Gaza and Palestine. Especially when there’s active genocide in the US as we speak.

There was recently a shooting in Georgia. My first college PE class was a self defense class where I learned how to disarm guns. I truly believe we are one election away from a dystopian nightmare where we pay with the blood of our children.

They get rid of phones in schools so that we can’t call our loved ones to tell them our goodbyes. My art class teacher immediately pointed out where to hide from a school shooter. And my class is at 6-9 at night in Southern California.

Meanwhile, states are trying to take away any rights that don’t belong to cis hetero white men. They’re trying to make being queer a sex crime and punishing those sex crimes with death. Conservative white men want to create a fascist nation, and once they get into power they will be unstoppable. Sure things might be bad in Gaza and Palestine, but they’ll get a lot worse if Trump gets elected.

Go ahead and cancel me for saying this, but when we’re one election away from being in a state of total fascism and genocide against queer people, we can’t really focus on issues abroad like Palestine.

I don’t want to have to fear going to school and create a playlist I have to listen to in my final moments due to being shot for being queer. I don’t want to have to sleep with one eye open.

The right just wants more workers to oppress. They want to keep money in the greedy talons of the dragons that they feel should control society. They lie through their teeth and spread hate, misinformation, and hoaxes with the STD’s they give to the women they screw over. They scapegoat whoever they can to draw attention to so that they can keep the heat off themselves. If Trump gets elected, nowhere is safe. You may think that you can simply move out of the country, when there’s bigots everywhere that can rise to power now that they’re emboldened by Trump. Alberta Canada is already trying to pass anti-lgbt bills.

We are witnessing the active attempt to eradicate morals from society in the name of a false god. Actually decent healthcare, shelter, food, water, and safety is actively being taken away from people in our own country. Many of them are disabled. Many of them are queer. Many of them are women.

Another thing, you know how teachers are complaining on how far behind Gen Alpha is? And how bottom of the barrel content farms that show violent and pornographic content gets targeted to kids? Also notice how overstimulating some of these videos are (I’m looking at you, Cocomelon.) Meanwhile, KOSA is just trying to ban queer spaces and trying to keep people in abusive relationships. It’s late stage capitalism at its finest. So many people are suffering.

We can’t just focus on what’s happening in Gaza when our own kids can’t seem to get off their screens and read. I’d be damned if it’s found out that those shitty content farms that leech off of indie projects are in line with rich white conservatives that want to eradicate literacy to breed the ultimate worker for their own twisted purposes.

I know that last paragraph was controversial for me to say as an aspiring content creator, but I truly believe that there can be a way for content creators to exist in this world without making illiterate kids. There should be regulations in place that keeps young children off of highly addictive platforms such as TikTok and YouTube shorts. There should be better systems in place for content creators that emphasizes quality over quantity. Bring dislikes back. There is room for genuinely creative content creators to grow and share their platform, whilst keeping the scum away from vulnerable kids. There’s a place for porn on the internet, and it should be kept away from kids.

In synopsis, how can we focus on Gaza when there is active genocide in our own country and active attempts to create denial. Hey furry hackers, maybe target those content farm channels next! I betcha my soul you’ll find that the algorithm that YouTube and TikTok praises so much thrives off of feeding kids stupidity as some grand master plan by the possibly conservative white male CEO’s that want to keep kids stupid and poor just to keep brainwashing propaganda onto them. Where is critical thinking skills and basic reading comprehension?

Wow. This turned from a rant on school shootings to my unbridled hatred towards content farms and how fucked up Gen Alpha is. I’ve definitely been chronically online for too long. But yeah, the YouTube algorithm supports shitty content and hates genuinely good content. Sponsorships are only helping genuine creators so much, as well as genuinely good merch. And AI will only make things so so much worse.

I have a project for the furry hackers. Attack generative Open AI. (Yeah, I’m prolly gonna quit Figgs AI because I’m feeling hardcore AI addiction again. It’s hurting my ability to create content. The site’s dying anyways.) And attack content farms too. Maybe it’s time for me to get into IT. Gonna look at computer classes. It can’t be too hard, right?

I may be either spewing a shit load of nonsense with the content farm shit, or I’m hitting the nail on the head. But there goes my ADHD. But yeah. I can’t answer asks on Gaza anymore. I am so sorry if I let people down because of this.

I believe that the Palestinian government is just as corrupt, if not WORSE than the Israeli government

You can support both BLM and be against police abolition

I am a golfer and I am against the banning of golf (though I do agree that the should be restrictions on where they should be built and how much water and pesticides they can use)

also furries have been holding the line against nazis for YEARS, much respect to furries against fascism

tired of those normies making the most reactionary videos on furries, as if the community doesn't mostly consist of queer, neurodivergent, and kink positive folks of many difficult backgrounds.

[bisexualtrashpanda]

Gotta love how most news sites are refusing to talk about this.

Even funnier, it's because they're a hacktivist group that's trying to target and expose all of the shit that the US Government gets up to, both at home and abroad. And they are honestly effective, and are actually NOT the only furry hacktivist group out there, even.

One of our greatest weapons against fascism in the US might just be chaotic hackers in fursuits.

And I think there's something beautiful about that.

[lizardywizard]

Chlorine gas attack at MFF.

Republicans want to criminalise furry along with trans. Litter box hoax, anyone?

Oh, and a lot of antifurs use Nazi imagery.

Here's some imagery of people using a "furry hunting permit" meme that's well known in the community. Note the similarity to ones made against trans folks, "terrorists" and "antifa".

Make no mistake, to fascism we're just another type of sexual "degenerate". What could be more horrifying to a group obsessed with a false idea of human purity, "traditional" gender roles and enforced religion than people who want to be cute, colourful, often queer and kinky and differently-spiritual animals?

furries talk a lot about how "coming out as a furry" doesn't make sense and is generally embarrassing, but i've made a lot of people consider that Furry can be more than a fandom or a fetish, in addition to those things it can be an identity. maybe not a persecuted one, but one that defines a huge portion of your self-truth and intersects with many other identities. maybe it should be seen as normal to "come out" as one.
