One of the most deranged parts of the extortfag "com" network on Telegram has to be the prevalence of "animal crush" fetishes. It is exactly what it sounds like: crushing animals to death and torturing them, especially with sharp objects like heels, for sexual arousal. The women behind these sickening videos actually make money off animal abuse, because those extort groups like 764 or SFN probably acquire them by giving them money or whatever; they have actual gore kinks and these videos are often featured into their edgy shock content edits. The most infamous video has to be "SickFuQNation", created by the group of the same name, and this is a problem because these gore compilations are shared over to other "larp" communities on Discord (i.e; Anti-Furry, raiding servers, etc.), where literal children are being exposed to this disgusting fetish.
A woman in Cairo was arrested in 2022 for selling videos of herself crushing animals, and she formed part of a
group chat with 1,100 members (presumably Telegram), where she promoted herself and even allowed people to request which animals to kill next. This suggests ties to the exortion "com". This was two years ago so the original source I saw is gone, but it's still documented in PETA's blog:
"Win for Animals! Creator of ‘Crush’ Animal-Killing Videos Found Guilty in Egypt" (

source in Spanish about how this fetish affects animal abuse rates in Venezuela (
