    My “I haven’t been hacked by gay furries” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt

          Wacky sitcom shenanigans are a given :p

          I once moved into an apartment with three other gay furries (one being an old friend), and another joined us shortly after. Two bedroom, one bath, and 5 furs. Playing reverse jenga with the trash can (whoever tips it, takes it out) and occasionally walking around nude were just par for the course. Using paper towels as emergency tp, and hearing the couple who were the actual renters getting frisky in the shower, were less common but not unexpected. And I ordered pizza so often that we got on a first-name basis with the delivery guy. Getting naughty with the friend was nice, too, when my bf wasn’t visiting (we were open).

          Oh, and it was my first time living through a proper winter. Waking up to see my friend had left the window open, and the world a textureless white, was a nightly thing. I’m too cold, he’s too hot, screams. I ended up running stress tests on my computer to generate heat, and we settled on a mostly-closed window policy.

          Life now is mundane by comparison. Though I’m in a master/pet relationship with the friend, he’s got a bf, and there’s been talk of moving in together, so… History kinda repeats itself? I’m okay with pizza-box trash jenga and being nude again. :P

        Satire done right is close enough to reality to make you pause for a second and wonder, “Is this for real?”

        Stands to reason that it works the other way too.

        Why? The Heritage Foundation are an intellectual joke. They can’t win in the war of ideas, they can’t suggest ideas that will last any test of time, and now are actively working to make their whim law crushing democracy itself. So if they are a joke why not mock them?

        Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand

        And in this event is the seeds to beat the bastards. They want us to be scared they want us to take them seriously. Some group of script kiddies made them say gay furries. To actually go out there and talk about gay furries. Serious men in serious suits saying gay furries.

        Keep it up. Make them talk about sex toys, pointless fandom debates, body fluids, anything that brings them down to the level of mockery

    As much of the IT sector makes up that group I’m surprised more breaches like this haven’t happened.

        Oh, it’s true. Even without any unlawful computer access, the amount of personal info your average IT furry can access is pretty astounding. There’s furries quietly keeping things running in the background across tech, finance, industry, science, and just about everywhere.

        Our Bacon numbers are tiny, too. It might be six degrees for any two random humans, but in the furry community you rarely have to go farther than friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend.

        So; if you’ve got a problem, if nobody else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… A Furry.

        From what I’ve heard, sometimes the hacked institutions bow in the form of delaying, or even completely ditching Project 2025-style plans. Other times the institution has enough Russia and/or China ties, that a naive tankie within the group sabotages the whole effort. Yet other times they’re being paid a lot of money and being given certain guarantees (ability of leaving the country in case the hacker’s civil identities become illegal, etc.).

    The information obtained was limited to usernames, names, email addresses, and incomplete password information of both Heritage and non-Heritage content contributors, as well as article comments and the IP address of the commenter. No Heritage systems were breached at any time, and all Heritage databases and websites remain secure, including Project 2025. The data at issue has been taken down, and additional security steps have since been taken as a precaution.

    So you’re saying that there was no breach at heritage because… you gave away your users data to a contractor?

      Yeah, what a cop out.

      We weren’t hacked, guys! It was just our data specifically that was hacked from the contractors we pay to protect it! That’s totally different and better, right?

    Do you think there’s a real link between furries being gay, like the type of person who is a furry just tends to be disproportionately gay and online?

    Or a sociological link like people who are open enough about sexual preferences will tend to be open about all of them?

    Or a news bias link like plenty of hackers are gay but you don’t hear about it, but if they are

    Or is this always just the one gay furry hacker group?

      I think it’s about lines of social taboo. Coming out as gay means you’ve already done something socially difficult, and it means you’re closer to social fringes. It’s what I’ve always suspected for why queer people, polyamorous people, and people into bdsm wind up overlapping more than expected.

      It’s because the furry fandom, when it was founded back in the late 70’s by a gay polycule of sci-fi fans, was one of the only communities in existence that accepted openly gay and trans people. (And the only non-fetish community.) For many queer people, the furry fandom is the first place they ever feel welcome.

        Basically the two weird kids in school decided to hangout together? I don’t mean that in a bad way, I mean in a cute way.

      There seems to be a link between neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ tendencies, from purely anecdotal evidence. Perhaps it’s because neurodivergent people seem to be more willing to question the status quo and self-examine without the assumption that they must be however society deems “normal?”

      I think all those are a little true. But I’m mostly guessing. I’m happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.

      Either way, these folks are my hero.

      there’s a disposition between gay people and being furries, not between being furry, and being gay.

      It’s a little weird, but it’s just a technicality of the furry community being the way that it is. It’s the same reason the US government is 90% people above the age of 60 right now. It’s just demographic shenanigans.
