I felt I ought to do more dot-connecting because Kero is doubling down and resorting to Jake Alley levels of using out-of-context images/videos from the archive to debunk the evidence.

To be clear, Kero/Yami in the archives never claimed this video to be him. The video, which appears in the archive as
fawnfukkopia.flv was uploaded by Kero. But this is typical -- like all illegal content distribution rings, these images and videos are passed around by members to people they trust, who then reseed the content. A lot of the stuff Kero posted was not stuff he created.
There are a few reasons why I believe this data dump is completely genuine and untampered with. The sheer volume of content aside, the timestamps of the exported files are preserved within the archive, and I cannot see any evidence that the files were modified after export. While there are ways to fabricate timestamps on files, I really doubt the tech literacy skills of zoophiles to do this in a way that would look plausible (the dates on the generated files within a minute of each other, and in chronological order).
Speaking of literacy, I thought it would be neat to analyse the grammar quirks.
Then there's the oodles of references to things that happened, and the four pics Kero took of his dog, Koda. There's also several other pictures from the SnakeThing log that were clearly taken by him and can't be found on his other social media. If these logs were fabricated, we are talking weeks of effort cross-referencing events and having autistic levels of charisma to manufacture over two years of fake chat logs. But there are no blatant mistakes, and as far I can see this data export has not been modified in any way.
Kero's only saving grace is that he wasn't as bad as some of the other users in the archive. He didn't like the necrophilia aspect and left the group over it, according to the SnakeThing log.
I suspect Kero has a Beastforum account somewhere as he mentions it a few times, but I suspect he's tried to cover his tracks by now.
