Republicans have a Nazi porn problem, again. Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee John Reid is facing mounting political pressure after a report tied him to a Tumblr blog that reposted Nazi-themed pornography and violent sexual content. The allegations, which Reid has denied, have fueled fresh calls for his withdrawal from the race.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA. Most furries are lovely humans who hate fascism more than average. Don’t lump them in with these freaks.

Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to indict furries as a whole, but to point out the crossover exists because it’s interesting.

Know Your Meme has a good breakdown of the culture, starting in 2005. Wikifur also has an article about it.

And it’s not hard for all of the things he described to be furry. That’s the joke.
