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,

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.

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.)
