There is a ton of misinformation here. So I'll try to prioritize 10 mistruths above all else. If anything else needs to be clarified I'll do what I can! :
1. "Khord tried to bring a toddler to a babyfur party!"
This is not true. I made a twitter post in reference to a running joke. Let me repeat that tweet, and (not backpedal), FORWARD pedal so you can get a better idea of what I was trying to say.
“It’s unfortunate I was not able to bring my son to an actual babyfur meet up. But I was told by several people that that could be awkward” is the tweet, to expand on that
“It’s unfortunate I was not able to bring my son to an actual babyfur meet up because it’d be the funniest thing in the world to tell the babyfurs “Hey you posers, this is the real thing. You’re all fakes!” But I was told by several people that that could be awkward, I told them “wouldn’t it be funny if we brought a dog to a furcon and be like ‘what up you punk posers? I’m the real deal! This fur is real!’ And if we brought a baby to a babyfur meet and be all like “You’re all fakes! I’m the real deal! I need this diaper and you just wear it for fashion! I can go out into society without shame! I'm the socially acceptable baby furry! Envious?” And they took my joke seriously and were like “That’d be really awkward!” It was freggan hilarious they had that reaction.
The point of that post is the same point I'm going to make now: The concept of someone going into a room of posers and mocking them is a hilarious one. Like a Japanese person going into a room of weeaboos, a baby going into a room of babyfurs, a dog going into a room of fursuiters, or an African-American going into a room of wiggers and saying "You wish you were me. Admit it. I'm the real deal. You losers are just posers!"
People misinterpreting my humor has been a plague on my life that, I never really was too concerned about because honestly: I don't give a fuck if someone misinterprets my joke. It's not going to stop me from trying to make others laugh. For example, just this week I complained to my boss that two coworkers were punching my arm after I asked them to stop. They'd punch me if I made a groaner joke. Nothing gives them permission to assault me at work just because they have an issue with my humor. Ultimately this whole "Twitter storm" over a joke could of been prevented if anyone just ASKED me clarify. But no one did. Everyone just made assumptions and spread their rumors.
And honestly there was no way for me to anticipate this disturbing reaction. How am I supposed to correct misinterpretations made behind my back? I deal with stuff in front of me. Drama appears to have a pretty basic formula:
Any sentence can be assumed to have a
A. Internal emotional goal ("Making this tweet just makes me feel so good!")
B. External emotional goal ("Anyone having a tough day? I wanna help!")
C. Internal tangible goal ("I'm am offering commissions at half price! I need the money")
D. External tangible goal ("Who wants money? I wanna give mine away!")
It's easy to misinterpret any sentence if you just so choose to.
2. "Khord is a pedophile because he has InkBunny accounts he watches that has pedoyiff!"
The purpose of pornography is to get yiffy. I will watch ANY account connected to my #1 sexual fantasy and that fantasy is literally my fursona backstory. The backstory is an adult man getting TGTFed into a feral cat. So if ANY artist created anything even remotely related to that theme, they are going on that watch list! Just because someone makes pornography of something I'm disinterested in doesn't mean I'm going to unwatch them. Just because someone makes pornography that I am interested in doesn't mean I am interested in all their art. Simple as that.
The goal is crystal clear: Find anything related to this primary TGTF fantasy to help fight epididymal hypertension! You're asking me to unwatch anyone who creates art that I consider a turn off. If I do that, then I will miss the moment that they make something that IS connected to the TGTF fantasy. That'd be counter productive and pointless. If you only want me to watch artists on InkBunny only make art that I'm 100% interested in? Then I wouldn't watch ANYBODY. Everybody on that site has art on their site that I'm disinterested in. Same goes with FA and DA. Like I'm not going to only listen to musical artists that make 100% great music or else I'd listen to silence all day. No one makes all good art. In fact the ONLY account in the entire furry fandom who posts 100% art that is relevant to my interests is Jaki-Kun.
I've never met Jaki-Kun. But DAMN, constant TGTF comics are ideal for fighting epididymal hypertension. And DON'T YOU EVER THINK there is anything remotely immoral about an adult looking at weird pornography. TGTF is weird. But I'm damn proud I'm not one of those scared people hiding who they are their entire lives. I love TGTF art and I'm proud of it! I'll watch ANYONE who posts anything connected to it.
Yes, pedo art is REALLY disgusting. It's really awful. But you're telling me if someone makes something related to the TGTF fantasy that I need to immediately unwatch them the moment they make something as horrific as pedo art? If I do that I'll miss out on the TGTF art. Am I wrong in this assessment? How is depending upon the search bar the only way to find TGTF art when most artists DON'T TAG THEIR ART? Literally watching an artist who makes a fantastic piece of TGTF art is the only possible way to get that TGTF art, if they don't take the time to tag it.
That's just a fact. How do you expect me to not watch artists that make terrible art if that's literally the only possible way to find untagged TGTF art? It's an impossible task you're asking me to do.
3. "Khord is a Zoophile!"
Which one is it? Pedophile or zoophile. Make up your mind. So as I established in the past post, turning into a cat in heat is indeed my sexual fantasy. And it brings up the question: "KHORD, DOES THAT MEAN YOU WANT TO FUCK A CAT?"
That question can be easily answered by the following fact: The number one most popular sexual fantasy of women is to be raped. This is according to Louis H. Janda, an associate professor of psychology at Old Dominion University.
So... might as well ask "Majority of woman in the world, if it's your fantasy to be raped does THAT MEAN you really want to get raped?"
So the logic required (fantasy=real intent) to justify the two questions
1. "Khord Kitty, if it's your fantasy to turn into a cat in heat does THAT MEAN you're really a cat-fucking zoophile?"
2. "Majority of woman in the world, if it's your fantasy to be raped does THAT MEAN you really want to get raped?"
has the exact same answer:
Holy fuck no. Why would you ask such a stupid question? It just means it's a sexual fantasy. Literally the whole purpose of a sexual fantasy is to turn them on while they are having consensual sex with another consenting adult or masturbating. I don't actually want to have sex with an animal just like women do not want to be raped.
4. Khord associates with pedophiles and zoophiles!
Nope, this is the first time I'm hearing about this stuff. I'm very glad you guys brought this up, or else I woulda never known I had scumbags on my list. That's what I get for expanding my social circle: Lots of sick fucks get in. Also, some of these folks were added to my watch list before I or anyone found out about their crimes. For example, Kintari I recall talking to in 2011. Both him and I placed at my first fursuit dance competition in New Jersey in 2014. Kintari were caught in 2015-2018ish doing awful things.
My social circle is huge. I'd go so far to say my contact list on both Skype and Telegram is the largest furry contact list in the world. I know it's not a contest, but it would help explain why all of these scumbags fall through the cracks. There really should be a big ass warning list. I know something like that exists for scammer furry artists. Is there one for sickos? Many of my twitter follows are people who followed me and I returned the follow.
I wasn't aware of Growlys shit until ya'll told me. So thank you for that. How the hell can I independently expunge the wicked from my list? Like there IS no method? Do I gotta look at the 4,576 facebook friend list and say "Okay, better google these people one at a time so I can remove the bad ones!" ... I have a life. You can do that for me KiwiFarm.
5. Khord was divorced because _______
I believe the divorce was because of the ethical conflict between unilateral hedonism and "Golden Rule" ethical thinking.
In regards to me being called a bum: I was responsible for gardening, cooking, cleaning, making food, diaper changes, making bottles of formula, dog walks, feeding the dog, brushing the dogs fur, dish-washing, educational activities, outdoor playground-trips, changing the light bulbs, doing the laundry, making the beds .... you get the picture. And when my wife was on maternity leave I was scooping 70 pounds of strawberry plants at a time for Driscolls, cleaning dishes at a steakhouse, teaching chinese kids English for VIPKid, advertising the Quip app for the leaders of the tech industry at DreamForce in SF, I was a background actor in both a Japanese TV show and the Fox show "Pitch". So feel free to keep calling me a bum. I'll be glad to prove you otherwise ANY DAY of the week. But I can't do it Thursday to Saturday as you were talking about how much of a bum I was, I was busy making Luxury cars.
6. Khord threw away his fursuit!
No, the bodysuit was stolen from a greyhound bus in 2016. The replacement body suit at the smile head fell out of the back of the pickup in 2017.
7. Khord has bad hygene.
My hygiene has been awesome. The problem is this:
1. I didn't try to solve any fursuit smell problem because only one person gave me an unsolicited complaint about the smell at FWA 2015, and thats still the record after attending 51 different furcons. It's fair to assume because furries believe that immorality should be measured by how many people you trigger: People likely avoided telling me about any smell because they were trying to "avoid triggering" or "avoid drama". Moral of the story: If you smell something, SAY SOMETHING. If I'm so smelly why has only one person tried to complain to me? I've been fursuiting for 6 years.
2. At FWA 2015 I was informed that squirting the fursuit with the essential oil/rubbing alcohol mix about 10 times was NOT RIGHT. I should of done it at least 20-30 times.
3. The balaclava was already pre-glued into the head. I didn't know this was wrong because it was my first time having a fursuit.
4. The smell was not caused by a hygiene issue, it was from a drying issue. The fursuit sweat would not dry overnight for a variety of reasons: Usually the fursuit fell off of the hanger while everyone was asleep.
5. The fursuit sweat would not dry overnight because I'd forget an extension chord and I'd have to dry the fursuit on the floor with a fan which was often unsuccessful.
6. The fursuit sweat would not dry overnight because I was using the "UK HangAir Hanger with Built-in Electric Fan" which was ineffective.
7. The fursuit underarmor was sometimes being used everyday because I thought I could disinfect it using the essential oil/rubbing alcohol mixture and hanging it to dry.
8. Undoubtedly because of my half Russian genes I'd sweat 10 times more then anyone else. My genetic make-up was mostly designed for harsh Russian winters at a time when space-heaters weren't invented yet.
9. I must repeat, a clean body and a clean fursuit is no match if the sweat doesn't dry overnight and MAN finding a successful way to dry that bodysuit was impossible. I can't think of a single con where I'd wake up in the morning and not, at some point, discover a little bit of wetness inside the underarm area in the fursuit. Finding a perfect drying method has always been a major challenge.
10. It only takes 3 hours for bacteria to breakdown proteins into the acids that create the B.O. smell. Considering that I showered once a day, probably the only possible way to avoid B.O. was to shower 4-5 times a day, considering how I was suiting all the time.
I must repeat this: If you smell something, say something. It says a lot that I went to 51 different furcons and only got one unsolicited commented about a nasty smell. After that I'd start to go up to people, ask them if they smell anything and 90% of the time they'd say no.
8. "Khord is attention seeking for validation!"
I'm a psychological people-pleaser. If I notice someone is not pleased with what I'm doing, I blame myself and try to figure out how I can please them. I've been this way for as long as I can remember. There is really a part of my mind that says "Yes, you can please everyone, you just need to fix yourself better to do it!" I didn't interview Ryan Hill for attention. I did it because people were genuinely fearful of him and I thought it was time to take the makes off and reveal how harmless he was. It was a good decision then, it's a good decision now.
Is it good to be a people-pleaser? No it's not. But luckily this psychology has been documented heavily:
How the inability to say "no" can lead to health consequences.

9. "Khord tried to take credit for the FC 2020, of which he was not involved in!"
I was literally featured on a national news website about the incident. So people were going up to me calling me a hero. Instead of repeating "I'm not a hero, I was just asked some questions by a reporter" a million times, I simply pinned a post on Twitter about it. It successfully stopped people from trying to congratulate me after I did absolutely nothing.
10. "Khord follows pedophiles and zoophiles on social media!"
I'll tell you how I found just about everyone I've ever met in the fandom: In 2009 I went to the FurAffinity Forums. I added everyone to my skype and asked if they wanted to be friends. I went to various skype furry groups on FurSpace, FurNation, FA, and others and added everyone. Using contact list imports I got my skype contacts transferred to my facebook.. got lots transferred to my twitter and more. Everytime a furry is outed as a deviant, NO ONE TELLS ME. So they stay on the list indefinitely. Am I supposed to google each of my twitter follows to see if they've been caught doing illegal stuff over the past year? What's the point? I have stuff to do. You people are doing a fine job of helping me identify the scumbags. Keep up the good work. We'll remove and block these dirtbags together.
