There’s a common stereotype about furries that’s well know even outside of the furry fandom. Everyone is, at the very least, somewhat involved with technology. Whether they’re a programmer or just a hobbyist that enjoys collecting old tech, furries are computer nerds at heart (this blog is written in, albeit, simple, HTML). We thrive in virtual spaces. We dominate the digital world. Some of us even power it (insert joke about a Y2K-esque scenario happening if furries were to disappear). Recently, something occurred which reminded me of why exactly we as a fandom have developed such a prolific reputation. And boy is it juicy. Let me spill this hot, hot goss with y'all.
For those that are unaware, conservatives have been planning this thing called Project 2025 (it's kind of a big deal. If you're American definitely look it up if you somehow haven't heard about it at this point). This is something that would negatively impact A LOT of people and most people ain't down with that. In situations like these, many people turn to forms of protest as a way to voice their dislikes, angers and frustrations against whatever it is they so adamantly oppose. Most people make petitions, gather in mass, spread information (or misinformation), anything that's attainable and accessible to help further their cause. Most people, however, aren't *furries*.
Just a few hours ago, a group of "gay hacker furries" know as SiegedSec hacked the Heritage Foundation, a large conservative group which have been pushing project 2025. As a result, Mike Howell (executive director of the Heritage Oversight Project) and the hacker got in touch with one another to chat things up. The chat log has been released to the public by the group for the public's enjoyment. A text file of the chat log is available below as a link. For ease of access, it is also available below that, neatly contained within a white, box outline, should the link to the text file go missing and break.
Ladies and gentlemen, hackers and furs:
ENJOY THE TROLL SHOW!
