Furaffinty, a wreched hive of dogfucking and rape appology.
I've been following all this personally on certain LJ communities but since it's a closed community I couldn't report it. Therefore, this is copy/pasted from Wank_report. Thanks for doing the work for me! Treat yourself to a cookie or two and happy holidays!

*WARNINGS FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT TRIGGERS!*

In the wake of the Gawker password breach, it turns out one of the admins of furry art site Fur Affinity was a member on Gawker and shared the same username/password combo on FA (it's not said who it was, yet, anyways).

As it turns out, admins can read every users notes. Suffice to say, it's not long before several belonging to Dragoneer -head honcho of FA- is leaked to the populace.

According to this report, 'Neer was covering for zoophiles/beastiality and, perhaps the most damning of them all, told a sexual assault victim (( Screencap!)) not to say anything because the rapist (Zaush/Adam Wan) is apparently a famous artist in the fandom and his fanbase would cause the risk of "backlash" and "reputation" damage (( Screencap!)).

There's so much going on and much to be found within the comments of 'Neer's journal entries (in chronological order from oldest to newest):

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1946412/
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1952230/
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1952576/
(Note: These Journals have since been deleted but I,[info]anarchicq have read them and they basically went as so:

Dragoneer: What I read, I didn't feel it was rape. It was coersion but not rape.
FA users: What about the part where she said "He made me have unprotected, penetrative sex with him"?
More FA Users: What about the part where she said she complied because she was afraid of him?
Dragoneer: Oh, I missed that paragraph.
More FA Users: Jesus fucking christ Neer did you even READ the note?!)

There's lots of victim blaming, mansplaining and general rage inducers all over the place.

I've been seeing rape apologia exploding on the internet for about the past 8 months or so. 2010: the year of rape apologists.

*reads link*

You know, as a Swede, it pisses me off both that they think we have a crime called "sex by surprise" (goddammit, people are not lolcats!), and that, rather than just claiming Assange's innocent (which would at least not SUCK as defences go), they're arguing that it shouldn't be illegal to have sex with a woman while she's sleeping. Assholes.

I know I'm leaving. I haven't actually updated my gallery in at least a year and was going to change usernames but that would mean removing the watermarks with AnarchicQ on them and putting new ones on and...EFFORT!

So, where's everyone going?

You're welcome! I shall enjoy these cookies while I'm nursing a cold.

What really gets to me about this is that Dragoneer told her not to say anything because of the "backlash" from Zaush's fanbase. Never before had my fist wanted to go through my monitor in the hopes of it connecting with his nose so bad.

I'd skirted on the edge of furry fandom before this, but this makes me want to wash my hands of it for good. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

"If you take some self-defence classes and improve your confidence, you won't get raped!"

Jesus tap-dancing christ. So, not only rape survivors need to dress modestly, be virgins, never drink, never walk alone and certainly not in the dark, not go to parties, not be the slightest bit attractive, they also need to be super-confident kung fu masters? Otherwise it's all their fault? AUGH. D:

[info]ekaterinv

And if they ARE super-confident kung-fu masters, they'll be blamed for fighting back far too harshly against the poor mens, like that horrific episode of Ally McBeal. (I know, which horrific episode? So many to choose from.)

It's their fault for being women and that's all there is to it. It is never the men's fault for actually raping someone in the first place.

Can I have a loaded heavy calibre gun ? I want to shoot 2 ppl mentioned here. Not fatally. Only in the kneecaps.

I know a rape survivor whose entire personality has altered (from bright, bubbly to insecure, miserable, traumatised) because of said assault. To apologise for rape is as bad as committing rape. Or possibly worse.

I... uh... what is this I don't even...

I think I'm more outraged on bridgeport's behalf at all the people telling her "LOL don't take it so personally!" and others saying "the admin shouldn't have to do anything, she needs to take this up with criminal justice"

DUDE. THIS IS NOT AT ALL ABOUT FURRIES. THIS IS ABOUT A SITE ADMINISTRATOR ESSENTIALLY FACILITATING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT. And an administrator of a website should be PROTECTING his members from shit, not facilitating and perpetuating their assault and mistreatment!

And goddammit, people, Bridgeport is not being a cross-bearing martyr -- she's justifiably infuriated at the way someone's sexual assault is being swept completely under the rug.


Urgh. Faith in internet humanity... fading fast...

Been reading the screencaps. This part had me doing several takes - 'He began insisting that I visit again, stating ... that I owed him sex' (part of the victim's message to dragoner).

I say ! I mean .. WTF ? O_@

People might actually say such a thing to another person ?

I'm reminded of a time when I was on an Asian music forum regularly and I was sexually harassed by a moderator. Because I was afraid of overreacting, I screencaped the PM's he'd sent me and posted it on my journal.

I think it was safe to say that my friends gave me a swift kick to the fact that they were sexual harassment and WHY was I even afraid. I reported him to the admin and I was told something was done about it (he's been demodded last I checked).

I believe this admin would want to swift kick this asshole to the face (and I never ever seen an admin actually excuse this petty excuse for a human being try that shit with his girl - if some guy did tried that to me, I believe my boyfriend would want to talk with him - with his fists).

However, words can't describe what kind of damage I would do to both of these "men". I say it like that because they don't register as human or furries to me.

The real issue here involving the whys of everything that happened is that women are maginalized in furry fandom. Furry has been twisted and abused to represent a group of people who are so accepting and loving, that an actual interest in viewing or collecting anthropomorphic paraphernalia is no longer required or even asked about. What ended up happening was the co-option of "furrydom" into a sexually accepting and even sexually promoting society, with male homosexuality being very prominent within the group. One of the more well-organized, well known furry social groups, "TorFur" short for "Toronto Furry" out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada had made such a sexually-charged public spectacle of itself that a local restaurant they frequented, the Old Spaghetti Factory, would open up and turn on the lights of closed sections in the back of the restaurant where most patrons couldn't see them, and seat them there, out of view. When the TorFur community first started eating there regularly, no such quarantining was done to them.

TorFur, and I suspect a lot of localized furry social groups, also have a low female-to-male ratio. So couple rampant sexuality and disregard for sexual appropriateness with a low number of females and high number of gay males who openly and publically choose to disregard sexual appropriateness, and there is a recipe for ignoring, downplaying, or blame-shifting against female members of the fandom.

Before anyone tries to misread me, I am not saying most gay males are sexually inappropriate, or that any random gay furry male will have a high likelihood to be sexually inappopriate. I'm saying if you allow your subculture to devolve into sexual expression as it's main focus when that was not previously intended to be the dominant purpose or focus of expression, sexual inappopriateness will arise more easily. A disregard for someone's physical or emotional state due directly to sexual misconduct is sexually inappropriate.

Anybody remember that east European weirdo who travelled around and coerced many different hosts into homosexually exploitive relationships, going so far as stalking people if they refused his advances or tried to throw him out of their homes? (I forget his name, but he loved lions.)
