- nrr 6y agoYeah, I stumbled upon that as well, but it just looked like the connections to furry merely involved political issues that coincided with the causes that furries tend to care about. Even furries, still being human at the end of the day, contribute to the mainstream political discourse. My definition of "infiltrating furry Tumblr" is perhaps a fair bit stricter: Infiltration implies being accepted as a member of the community, which also implies some level of gossip around someone new or cool whom folks are excited to introduce or meet. The problem is that Tumblr killed these accounts, so there isn't any good record today of what their profiles looked like, what avatars they had, etc. I also can't seem to find anything particularly furry-centric beyond the fact that a malicious actor saw fit to target a subculture for some political trolling. I'm chalking this up to the interface of a subculture with mainstream society being compromised and not necessarily the subculture itself.
