Siskmarek Namaruk (Realdeadname Joshua Barney, newtransname Farrah or something like that) is my Great White Whale of Furry drama. Used to run a sorta cute ask blog that I'd peruse because it turned the goofy Sergal 'canon' on its head. Thing was, every year or so he'd go through this weird thing where he'd go "I'm going to be forced to stop updates for a while and MAYBE GO AWAY FOREVER", every year or so. Most everyone seemed to assume it was some kind of medical fuckery, but every time they came back.

Until they didn't.

Then it came out: Joshua had been a bad, bad boy and tried to get an underaged girl to move up/hook up (the party line is 'escape abuse', naturally) to Utah from Arizona. No more updates, because Josh lucked right the fuck out and avoided jail time, with the usual 'no fucking internet, you perv' stipulations. Here's where it gets less straightforward and really pretty dramatic:

Josh *didn't* stay away from the internet. There were updates to the ask blog and some covert Twitter and suchlike. Some people noticed this - including some elements of what's now 'altfurry' - and apparently reported him. So Josh got his cushy remote probation in Utah revoked, got reeled back down to Arizona (the story is partly told in the ridiculous story mentioned above), and eventually got dunked for four years or so in the slammer for probation violation. Amusingly the twittering continues, Josh's husband or whatever, Carcin, a pretty fair 'cow in his own right, is handling the updates, mostly sketches scrawled on prison postcards.

(Edit: Oh right, the Trans. That happened about the time he got reeled back down to Arizona for pre-trial detention. A uncharitable/realistic read of what happened would leave one to think that Josh transitioned for special housing and treatment in jail but that would neeeeever haaaaappen.)

The full legal documentation for this case would be great to have, but it's pretty restricted for the girl's protection, which is fine. I really can't stomach the martyr act the Sergal set puts up for Josh, because really it sounds pretty cut and dried, and they go full 'Bitch fucking LIED' about it.

Pretty fucking disgusting the blockbot guy is as per the norm defending an arrested bestiality offender in the furry fandom. "Deep info" indeed since he's probably been deep in a poor animal with his zeta pals.

yeah im interested in the details too considering that webpage is completely one sided. It sounds like what they describe would be a fairly decent defense though that escape abuse line is really fishy. That may be why he only got probation.

I don't really know. Exposure, I guess? Fred Patten has been contributing book reviews to Dogpatch Press for literal years so his involvement with the website predates all of this political nonsense. He just does it because he's a genuine fan of anthropomorphic work. Gatorbox, who produced the YouTube series "What's Yiffin'?", were probably involved with the website in order to grow their channel. Those are the only two people I can recall off the top of my head. A lot of the other guest contributors only posted once or twice and gave up.
 
Dogpatch brings more hard-hitting clickbait, with a guest article on why a fandom of grown men who masturbate to porn of talking animals should care about politics, featuring a blocklist commercial and mentioning the furry raiders.

Why furries should care about politics – by Whiteclaw.

“Keep politics out of furry.”
You’ve probably seen this type of comment. Maybe you’ve made it yourself. Given its polarizing nature, talking about politics is a fast way to lose friends and make enemies. And that’s just with regular people. So why bring it into the fandom?
Furries are a group of people that love anthromorphic animals. But the key word there is “people.” Because behind every fox/wolf/cat/badger/dragon/etc. is a person. And that person is affected by politics. The fact that we roleplay as animals online doesn’t change this.
“Furry is an escape. I shouldn’t have to talk about politics here.”
There’s a valid point here in that we can’t and shouldn’t be focused on politics every second of every day. Yes we sometimes need to take a break from the awfulness of the world and furry is a great way to do that.
But an escape in this sense implies a break or a time-out. It suggests that we’re involved in dealing with these issues at some point. And if we never do, if we’re always “escaping” politics, then furry isn’t an escape, it’s an excuse.
More than that, furry doesn’t have to be just something you do, it can be something you are. In the 1990’s there was a split between fans who only looked up to professional artists, and ones they looked down on as “lifestylers” for acting like their own community. Now it is one. Politics affects our community the same way it does any other. The sheer diversity of the fandom means that, in some ways, it affects us more.
“I don’t care about politics, and I don’t see the point in talking about it.”
Well that, my friend, brings us to that very pesky word we all know and hate: Privilege. Yes, I know you’ve all heard it. White privilege. Straight privilege. Male privilege. Cis privilege. Privilege, privilege, privilege. Sick of hearing about it yet?
But the sad reality is that it exists. And the most insidious thing about it is this: Not having to think about privilege is the greatest privilege of all.
If you’re not a minority, or more importantly if you aren’t treated as one, it’s a lot easier to sweep all this talk about rights and status under the rug. You can say, “I’m just a big, dumb, fun-loving dog on the internet,” and ignore things like systemic racism and double standards. But the further down the totem pole you are, the more it affects your every-day life, furry or otherwise.
So before you declare politics a non-issue, consider that not everyone else in our community has that luxury. And when you say, “All I care about is furry,” what you’re also saying is, “I don’t care about problems that don’t directly affect me.”
It also means you don’t care about what happens to your fellow furs who don’t share all the same privileges as you.
“Okay, but I deal with politics outside of furry. Can’t furry be a safe space?”

Well, yes and no. First, let’s talk about the big problem we have in the fandom: The Furry Raiders.
Once upon a time, if you had someone in the fandom that was problematic, we could pretty easily blacklist them. But the furry community has grown. The reason con attendances go up every year is because the size of the fandom has also increased. While that’s largely a good thing, it comes with its own set of problems.
If for every 100 furs, there’s 1 problematic person, then having 1,000 furries means we only have to deal with 10 people who are a problem. Up that number to 10,000 furs and suddenly we have 100 toxic people to deal with.
On their own, these people aren’t that big an issue, but with changes in the current political climate, these people have banded together, and branded themselves AltFurry (a play on the term AltRight) as well as creating a group called The Furry Raiders.
Put simply, this is a hate group that calls itself furry. In reality, many of these people aren’t actually furries. The fandom’s open and inclusive nature and the fact that we’re often looked down on, even by other subcultures, makes us an easy target for hate groups to infiltrate and recruit.
But it’s not just AltFurry we have a problem with. More and more, furry has started to develop its own form of celebrities, popufurs as they’re often called. While some of these people use their platform for good, others regularly and casually spout hateful rhetoric and bigoted views against minorities.
A furry might be popular because they’re an artist, have a cute fursuit, or regularly organize events for furries into other activities like sports, camping, or crafts. But when that same furry uses their platform to spread hate and bigotry, we can’t just ignore these statements because we enjoy the other content they provide.
In short, politics has come to furry whether we want it to or not. And ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. If anything, supporting someone who has a hateful stance, just because you like the content they put out, only helps to spread their messages of hate.
But let’s say you’re just here to look at cute animals and have a good time. Maybe furry truly is an escape or safe space for you. And there’s nothing wrong with that, per se. But if that’s the case…then the furry fandom doesn’t mean that much to you.
WAIT! Put down your torches and pitchforks! Or at least give me a chance to address that comment you’re already composing. I’m not acting as the furry gatekeeper here. I’m not saying you can’t be furry or that you somehow aren’t a “true furry.” There’s not a lot in the way of strict definitions for what even makes someone a furry.
And there’s nothing wrong with furry not being that important to you. If you’re younger, there’s probably a lot more going on in your life as you try to decide who you are and the directions you want to go. If you’re older, you probably just have higher priorities.
But if you’re someone that could take or leave furry, who doesn’t find it a dominating factor in your life, then consider that others do. And we care about making this fandom a safe, inclusive environment.
So if you care about this fandom, beyond simply enjoying the content it produces, then understand that we have to address these issues within furry. Politics isn’t something we can just ignore. It affects all of us, whether we like it or not.

If one needs any more proof that there is in fact a leftist furry rat king, the "more thoughts" section provides this.

Forgot to post this when it popped up in my feed the other day, but the Cochran guy who is(was? he's bankrupt now) suing Dogpatch is known by some big people in the industry and is not regarded with any fondness.

Quite a lot of comments that continue to paint that picture. Too many to bother posting. Have not seen any updates on the lawsuit itself since the last revelations.

This guy's bookstore works with movie types, that could be how he has Neil Gaiman boosting his site. Those types don't take sides about lawsuits. It's usually holy water, garlic treatment. So it means the Cochran guy is done.

He's seen as financially ruining the sweet old gay grandpa of the SF/F pro writer community. They're going to take this real personal.

"Insecure Len"?

IMO I like my nick name (Leningrad) for him better XD

Surprised he managed to not shill the blocklist, too.
 
Did Casey's mother just find out about his furry nazi porn books? Is it wrong of me to find that funny? More than a little funny? Dinner with the family would be a little awkward, I imagine.

Doesn't seem like anything came of it in public, though, so she likely was already warned by Casey and told to ignore the crazy dog man online.
