If he thought Cassidy Civet's nomination & win back in 2021 was bad his defense of a cub porn & Nazi fur con defender's nomination just because he made a Virtual Furry Museum along with disqualifying a con set up in response to him before reversing it will definitely be its final nail in the coffin

Ah yes "sharing" Furry news articles by copy & pasting them & acting like yall totally wrote it yourself while profiting off the ads instead of sharing the link to the original source

"Sowwy we didn't mean to profit off copy & pasting numerous articles from actually talented writers acting like we wrote it ourselves with 'citations' at the bottom since everyone reads to the end we're surely going to do better next time"

Two years of anti-zoophile community moderation: Heika’s work with Laelaps on Bluesky Written by Miss Moth in Blog Founder heikadog In Greek mythology, Laelaps is a dog that never fails to catch what it is hunting. On Bluesky, tens of thousands of users use the Laelaps anti-zoophile labeler. This volunteer-run project collects evidence of animal abusers and enablers, publishes a list, and shows a label on listed accounts so you’re informed before interacting. A labeler utilizes third-party moderation service, hooked up to Bluesky features that help you choose how to use the platform. It lets you actively curate rather than passively consume what you’re fed.

After backlash fades, support makes a lasting reason to do it. A witness of grooming by zoophiles sent this thanks for all the service. Hey, Heika. I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you do... without getting too deep into it, I'm honestly sickened and shaking just at the notion that these people believe what they believe. I've had friends fall in line with them and the results were... not pretty. Seriously, thank you. Your work is helping my mental health, whether you know it or not.

He continues to deflect, gaslight & project as he refuses to apologize for defending cub porn & his Nazi fur con, taking the easy way out by ebegging under the excuse of his disability & "insanely difficult" job market instead of working for a living through commissions.

His Temu Garoshadowscale Patreon currently has 8 pay piggies he treats like piggy banks paying $135 a month for exposure with 1 $50 "Sponser" & his highest tier is the $100 "Philantropist" in an "insanely difficult" job market which will likely go to Nazi fur cons instead of a dictionary.

He went on a tangent on ABDLs other subcultures & Sylys insisting on including Furry history in the museum acting like he's the only one who can archive Furry history against social media "hate" ebegging like the Furry Boogie2988 for pity Patreon memberships starting at $5 a month for a shout out.

He used his toxic workplace, disability & inability to work to beg for Good Furry Award votes in a tangent & "donations" after previously turning them down & getting "permission" from the artists, creating a website talking about his research talking to Furry groups for displays.

Sotalo > Megaplex @sotalo.bsky.social‬ The Virtual Furry Museum... Needs Your Help. Since beginning the project in October 2022, about 10,000 hours have been sunk into the research, development, and outreach for the world, along with educational tours. Now, we need your help. https://youtu.be/B9Aj17uFq9A The Virtual Furry Museum Needs Your Help YouTube video by Virtual Furry Museum August 7, 2025 at 11:18 AM Everybody can reply 12 reposts 2 quotes 18 likes

He claimed to have put 10k hours into the VFM since October 2022 (roughly 10 hours a day for the past 1k days) on top of his full time job with a 22 minute video with sad music that's not loud enough to drown out him talking with a rigged 3d model like a insincere manipulative apology video.

He says the Fandom has "too many scissors" with everyone having unique beliefs, story & skills who build safe spaces during a time when the world's becoming more dangerous, ending that there aren't good or bad people but choices, with everyone thinking they're making good ones (including himself).

He wanted to win the "Image" Award for using Sylys' name for his Virtual Furry Museum claiming he's the Fandom's savior for it but his "enemies" thought Nazi fur con GSFTW "represented everything they hated" then proceeded to defend it & claim the Fandom's "dying" since Nazi furs aren't tolerated.

He claimed to "respect" others including "sharing" stories from minorities claiming NSFW art "saves" lives including abuse survivors over medication that causes side effects & could save more if we accepted Nazis, then ranted about "hate" against ShyMatsi & the Good Furry Awards over his nomination.

Losing my Job, Trauma Stories, Being a Good Furry 5 days ago 7 min read By Sotalo Published: 5 days ago Well, it was a long time coming, almost 10 solid years with an employer who laid off 30% of staff previously and sees any stepback in growth as a reason to lay off employees. People in that environment harassed me for reasons beyond my control, and the amount of falsified investigations was absurd. I presented evidence proving otherwise and they didn't care. I do not recommend anyone come out as LGBTQ right now, or say they are a Furry, or even say they have a medical disability. It also becomes very difficult when knowledgable people in technical positions end up superceding the knowledge of their coworkers and contacts. Sometimes you can help people who don't help you back. Nobody likes someone who's young, experienced, intelligent, and disabled. The job market right now is insanely difficult. So many people are out of work thanks to the big, atrocious bill jacking tarriffs and decades of racing to the bottom. Many companies respond by either raising prices or issuing layoffs, anything in order to maintain their incredibly high profit margins. It will be a struggle to get back on my feet. My Type One Diabetes has caused me to fall over at blue collar jobs, and my inability to walk for long distances in shoes without my legs locking up severely limits the types of jobs I can obtain. Disability has been cut so much they refuse people who are wheelchair bound and need oxygen to live. I have friends who tried to find work for over a year to no avail, and others on Disability who have to suffer horrible conditions. For the longest time I served as a light to so many people, providing financial assistance when I could, showing kindness to minorities who had faced severe unkindness from others, raising communities where primary rule is respect, and it is fully ingrained in our culture. I teach the

stories that are given to me from so many who are marginalized, including people who are only marginalized in this fandom. A Christian Furry with ADHD struggled to accept their sexuality and NSFW artwork. He'd suffered severe insomnia trying to avoid any thoughts of it to the point it was harming his health. I explained to him people with ADHD lack dopamine and need a safe, healthy means of gaining it. While medications continually cause side effects in so many people, the artwork does help, staving off depression, anxiety, and suicide. I told him Jesus preached forgiveness and knew nobody could live a sinless life. The horrible things people do to themselves and others in that pursuit was not His message. Perhaps his life was God's test for others' willingness to forgive, and a test for him to accept himself. As a former Christian I understood what to say. And it helps to have that experience growing up and hearing it from others. We are not alone as Furries on this Earth. But no story in my life came close to what I heard from real survivors of abuse... people who use Furry art as a means to cope with their experiences together with others who shared similar experiences. This community could've helped more people if the Fandom was more accepting of each other and less toxic. All the while the Good Furry Awards are running. Right now, you may cast your vote in 3 categories. I've been given a nomination for the Image Award. If you nominated me, I'd really like to speak with you. But also on the docket are people who raised hatred over Shymatsi, a pansexual African American community leader who organized Furry events in New Jersey and volunteered at dozens of Furry conventions for over 30 years. They raised hatred against some of our Fandom's greatest benefactors. It would be nice to receive the award for all the work done to preserve Sylys' memory and history in the museum, but as a result of my inclusion the

award platform was eventually captured and used by my enemies to promote people that raised hate. I'm not sure if people did what they believed was righteous, that somehow our convention represented everything they hated, but it wasn't that. We showed the nominee for Best Short Film at Sundance, The Reality of Hope. The first Furry documentary ever accepted to the festival. We had awesome performers and dances. We had people presenting their favorite things, and a fun game room, and raised thousands for charity. People who inspire hate, issue death threats, and promote defamation do not deserve this honor. And it's wild to see people so ignorant of the truth, so malignant against the Fandom's (and each others') success, being honored in the same way. I'd spent thousands of hours gathering stories, research, and education on Furries to help people through this platform, and presented some of it in the Virtual Furry Museum. I asked for no money, only for people to be kind and respect one another. I fear the Furry Renaissance spawned by Zootopia is officially dead. Even now that people have the resources to learn more about this community, people are not always going to be interested to learn the truth about each other, and how this fandom helps so many across various communities, including ABDL, Furries with neurodivergence, and others. The forces of evil have grown so great in number and so powerful that all sense of respect for the preservation and growth of our community and culture is gone. Communities with hundreds or thousands of people get slashed and burned. The Furry Fandom, much like people's economic, emotional, and physical stability these days, are held together by tape and string. And there are far too many scissors. It becomes difficult to promote this fandom and the ways it helps people when the scissors have so much power. So many people are seeing instead the overwhelming toxicity as an

insurmountable problem, making those communities and subcultures unable to operate effectively, and making so many people buy into the hate, giving it fuel and attention. So... where do we go from here? Recognize first and foremost that behind the username and every work of art is a living, breathing person, and an intention. Behind our conventions are staff filled with people who do not all think alike. And everyone who comes into this Fandom has clearly come in here for different reasons. They have their own history before finding Furry, and their own story through this Fandom, and how this Fandom was able to serve them. They bring their skills and knowledge here to either construct a space where they see a need, help others, or find a place in a world where so very often there isn't a place for us. Many people are worried. Many people are confused. Many people are scared. But this Fandom should not be a place for worry, confusion, or fear. It should be a place for people to come together. Paraphrasing someone wise who I spoke with tonight, there is no such thing as good or bad people, there are only choices. And the imbalance of information makes it very easy for everyone to assume their choice is good, but it's in truth very difficult to know for sure. I spent years researching Furries and still uncover more. I know one thing - raising hatred and mass campaigns against others is never good. Ask. Learn. Share compassion, empathy, kindness, and respect. Try your best to understand each other, because there may come a day I will not be able to do it for you. Many of my friends gathered to me upon hearing my job loss and offered sympathy and help. I'm going to do my best to come up with a plan to survive. Hopefully my next post will be more joyous. But though I have stood on the shoulders of giants, it is still tough to see through the weeds.

In his DeviantArt rant he projected over his toxic work environment of "falsified investigations", ungrateful coworkers who hate the "young, experienced, intelligent & disabled" & a rigged job market made worse by Trump's tariffs & disability cuts.

Good Furry Awards addresses recent nominee drama Posted by Grubbs Grizzly on Sat 2 Aug 2025 - 13:41 — Edited by Sonious as of 13:41 [Statement here] Nice ass covering (visitor) — Sun 3 Aug 2025 - 05:47 #1 Your rating: None Average: 1.8 (5 votes) Cassidy Civet has this fake award, opinion discarded, lmao Wolf-N-Bone (visitor) — Tue 5 Aug 2025 - 13:00 #2 Your rating: None Average: 4.5 (4 votes) Is it our awards if we don't follow them, care about them, or even really know or want to know anything about who wins them? Like, WWE has a Hall Of Fame, for example, but how the hell can anyone have an "official" hall of fame for a "sport" that consists of all kinds of promotions that mostly don't exist anymore, spanning entire different territories and periods of history? Furry is getting to about that old, and like, similarly, has people obsessed with having an "official" enough anything to even make "official statements" about. Is furry a sport? Is it a business? Is it a genre of entertainment unto itself? Is it the size of, you know, acting, where it kind of makes sense (okay, I admit, even there it doesn't make total sense) to have The Oscars but then a bunch of smaller committees with less prestigious awards that are just as official? Self-awareness is often lacking in the fandom with these knee-jerk reactions, so Nazi accusations, etc, might be a red-herring in reality and people could just be lashing out at the premise. These have almost never been conflict free awards/committees when they exist in the fandom. It's like you want to start a whole separate society but can't make it work, because you keep replicating the old society, "furry style" like it changes things.

Go Fucky Awards (visitor) — Tue 5 Aug 2025 - 15:33 #3 Your rating: None Average: 3 (2 votes) He really isn't cut out for this. I LOL'd at his statement "there is documentation to back it up that is not just a screenshot from a chat room" ... like where the fuck does he think the community interacts? Some of the worst PR I've ever seen. https://archive.ph/fmO1K "Hello, everyone. Okay, this is rough. For some reason this year, several of the nominees have been attacked and, by association, the awards as well. It got so bad with one of the nominees that I took them off the list of candidates. This was the Furgeddabout it staff. I took down their listing after a newspaper article was sent to our email that the con chair had a weapons charge. A newspaper article and verifying that the charges had been made compelled us to drop the nominee. It seemed a reasonable action at the time given the nature of the awards. We were contacted today by the chair, Osiris, and another furry and were shown that all charges had been dismissed by the courts. We are satisfied that this was indeed the case and that Osiris is innocent of wrongdoing. As chair of the Good Furry Awards, I apologize for this rash action against the Furgeddaboutit chair and his staff and resolve to do better in the future. Sincerely, Kevin Hile, Chair, The Good Furry Awards"

Bro's really acting like cub porn & Nazi fur con GSFTW defender Sotalo copying what they did by promoting his statement defending his nomination for the "Good" Furry Awards to Flayrah I think he wants to be its GoH for 2026 at this point

Well, thanks for your suggestion Boxo McFoxo @boxomcfoxo.bsky.social‬ It is relevant to your assertion that if someone is not a good furry they would not be able to win the award. But mathematically if they only need 9%, they could. August 6, 2025 at 1:06 AM

@boxomcfoxo.bsky.social suggested replacing First Past the Post with literally any other voting system but with a cub porn & Nazi fur defender's nomination, @dogpatch.press' obsessed stalker & a post protecting trans youth he'll ignore these concerns pretending they don't exist.

Of course like a civet attracted to controversy 2021 Good Furry Award winner Nash "Cassidy Civet" Milani just joined the group which surely isn't a bad omen for things to come just like during GSFTW

The Good Furry Award Kevin Hile Admin 8h It has become clear to me that the GFAs need to hire a researcher. By hire, I mean volunteer 😉 We have no money. However, I would be happy to give the researcher a free book from Uncle Bear Publishing as a thank you for their service.

Gee it took you over a month from someone who did just that only to dismiss them to realize that well I wish you luck in finding another unpaid intern despite having money for prizes & trophies to do the same thing to

The Good Furry Award Kevin Hile Admin 9h Hello, everyone. Okay, this is rough. For some reason this year, several of the nominees have been attacked and, by association, the awards as well.

"For some reason our nominees & awards have been attacked"
Lmao stop plagiarizing GSFTW you're being criticized for not disqualifying nominees who platform hate while disqualifying a con made as a response to it due to allegations without reaching out to them first for their side
archive.ph/QzpnK

They're really not beating the allegations when they decided to disqualify an entire con that was set up in response to Sotalo as PR defending GSFTW platforming hate due to a mysterious illegal gun charge after voting started

The Good Furry Award Kevin Hile Admin 8h It has come to the attention of the Good Furry Awards that the chair of the Furgeddaboutit furcon that was nominated for a group award has a police record involving illegal use of firearms. This makes this person ineligible for the award and, therefore, the entire con staff with which he is associated as well. The nominee has been taken off the list and will remain ineligible so long as the current chair remains in that post.

Imagine disqualifying an entire con that was made in response to Sotalo defending GSFTW platforming hate because of the con chair's supposed firearms charge which was mysteriously discovered after voting started therefore nothing good the con & it's staff did counts
archive.ph/fmO1K

"if they don’t like the GFAs, they do not have to participate in them in any way."
Bro's just plagiarizing Peter at this point thanks for backing me up saying to boycott the vote a few days ago I hope more do the same including the nominees which include GSFTW's critics

Their "official" statement states the new disqualifier is a criminal record as if cops actually take victims seriously & bad Furries won't win like that makes it any better calling chronically online "influencer wannabes" calling out platforming hate "petty rivalries"

All the accusations you claim were made against you are true I guess @dogpatch.press & I are "irate" for calling out platforming hate between "controversy is good because we're getting attention" & "you're libeling us for calling out bad things we did that were true"

Damn Grubbs' trying to compete with GSFTW for worst statement of all time saying we spreading gossip against nominees who have done good things as if that makes up for all the bad things they have done which I've backed up with evidence
web.archive.org/web/20250803...

It gets worse
bsky.app/profile/dogp...

Yeah I emailed Kevin "Grubbs Grizzly" Hile & they basically said "UwU no pawlitics" since I guess anyone can be nominated for the *Good* Furry Award including a serial liar cub porn advocate & Nazi fur con defender among many other things just because they made a Virtual Furry Museum

Sad Baraka lost the primary to making baked Sherrill he & Zohran would've been BFFs

Oops
