SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the rightwing Project 2025 playbook. On Wednesday, as part of string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose trans rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.
In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted rightwing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.
In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.
“We’re strongly against Project 2025 and everything the Heritage Foundation stands for,” one of SiegedSec’s leaders, who goes by the handle vio, told The Intercept.
These fuckers are finding out how many queer people are very good with computers.
Fursuits cost money, working with computers (typically) pays well; it’s a tale as old as… the internet?
Yes, but only because before the Internet they weren’t called furries. (I don’t know if there was a different name. I don’t even know if it was A Thing.)
He so prostituted his own chastity that after defiling almost every part of his body, he at last devised a kind of game, in which, covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women, who were bound to stakes, and when he had sated his mad lust, was dispatched by his freedman Doryphorus;

Protoyiff has been added to the lexicon. Thank yooooo verymuch.
How dare you post this without the sauce.
Suetonius, Twelve Caesars, Nero, Chapter 29 Suetonius loved him a good scandal, bit of a gossip.
Man Nero is such an icon
Oh.
Not in its current form, no.
There definitely were furries, but we didn’t form a cohesive subculture until we started getting online in the late 80’s.
There’s a reason “furries run the internet” is only kinda a joke
Furries do the back-end stuff, Femboys do anything client-facing.
Furries have stuff coming from their back ends (tail), femboys stuff their back ends (they are tail)
Guess I have to start wearing skirts.
guess you do.

They’re kinda like anime fans, but their self-insert characters are all animal people.
The subculture traces back to a series of room parties at scifi conventions in the 80’s, but didn’t grow into its own until the internet got more common.
Wait, this is news to me. My understanding was that it began as effectively a kink with its associated community. Like, I think I recall it being pretty much strictly sexual in every way I heard of it for a long time. And then lately I see that it’s more broad than that - the most clear example I have is when my kiddo’s friend recently named it as one of the cliched “kid archetypes” at their high school, e.g. jock/goth/furry/etc. Maybe it was just never specifically sexual or maybe it’s been through some evolutions.
Brother, you get a bunch of nerds into any subculture and it’ll turn sexual fast. I’m sure there were plenty of spock eared sex parties.
