I regret my subsequent Google searches, which led me into unfamiliar corners of the internet where terms like “furry supremacy” and “The Furred Reich” lay waiting.Ī plethora of thoughts and questions were conjured up in that moment - the first being, “But why, though?” I am familiar with race play (and the things surrounding it) as a concept in BDSM and kink, but I never allowed myself to think critically and deeply about this phenomenon until the moment I found myself staring at my phone with a bright red, Confederate flag-clad, Trump-humping fox looking back at me. I soon found myself down the rabbit hole with #AltFurry, #BroniesforTrump, #AltBrony, and #AnimeRight hashtags on Twitter. Īs I toggled between various social media platforms one evening not long ago, I happened upon photos of alt-right furries draped in Confederate flags, hoisting up pro-Trump signage, worshipping swastikas, and proudly extending their paws in the Heil Hitler! salute. This is because the porn and erotic display that I have been thinking about a lot lately features gay neo-Nazis and alt-right furries. I’ve been thinking about them in an inquisitive, almost anthropological way that raises within me more questions than it does answers, and creates more discomfort and disgust than it does gratification. I’ve been thinking a lot about porn and erotic display lately, but not in a way that brings me any pleasure.
