So, what's going on? Well, it seems Anonymous has turned their innocuous gaze towards the zoophilic community. Now, for the sake of this article, we're going to ignore the fact that Anonymous has never done anything of note in its entire existence, and employs nothing but DDOS attacks, which if you didn't know is the most ham-fisted form of messing with a website there is. It's not even hacking. A while back they attempted to bring down all child pornographers on the Hidden Web, which turned out to be great to eat popcorn to. We'll also ignore that it's not even a coherent organization and by definition anyone can by Anonymous. Finally, we'll ignore that they'll likely bounce off this topic like a fox on a trampoline.
This supposed assault on zoo porn sites was brought to my attention by another zoophile, and they, and of course most others, were very quick to say that this is a problem and we all must be even more careful than before, or at least pointing out that this probably won't be a big deal and, again, Anonymous are about as effective as... well, I already used up my simile for the day, but you know what I mean.
I had a slightly different immediate reaction: while of course I didn't like the fact that yet another high-profile group is badmouthing zoosexuals, a few things made me think more positively about this. And the first one doesn't even require Anon to do anything: the very first line, "We recently have come to realize that bestiality is a rising problem in the world right now. It is controversial and by god, a rising act." This means, if nothing else, that people are getting out there, not just on porn sites as those have existed for ages, but on forums and places that Anon "members" actually frequent and saying, "Look, here I am." That means you get reactions like this, but also some reactions by people who might be more inclined to use logic when approached with something new.
This is reinforced by the second thing: the poster of this Pastebin document did not use the word "zoophilia" or derivatives once. They're also only attacking those sites where there is porn, which also happen to be the sites that are home to a ton of bestialists rather than zoophiles. The only community site they are attacking is Beastforum which, in my opinion, could probably use an attack from someone more competent than Anon.
Given this, and also given the fact that they have a lot of sites that they plan on bringin' down - a lot more than I even knew existed - suggesting that at least some of their human spider-bots might themselves have a little more experience than they let on to their bestialist-hating buddies, I think this is far from the most disturbing news for zoophiles, and may even lead to some good things. Even better things if Anonymous magically acquires talent.
I'm still on the fence: I could be wrong and they would target this blog if they thought it had porn on it, despite all of the things it says that would agree with their anti-animal abuse message, but you know what? Just to stir the pot, I'm going to say that, Anon's history aside, they have my support here. Go get 'em, guys.
The problem is, the belligerent 'god-given right to judge, guns blazing heroes' of anon are too incompetent to use a logical approach, hence giving them the boundary blurred view of zoophilia and beastiality by non-zoophiles as two entwined, possibly even similar entities as one thing. Just reading the first twelve lines of this so-called crack down states that zoophilia automatically entails some sort of sick sexual encounters promoted by the generic antisocial outcasts that, just about 60 years ago, was used to label the poor homosexual community, living in fear of judgement by those who simply cannot be bothered to use neither an iota of sympathy or distinction in such an otherwise straightforward procedure of acceptance and integration. But oh no, it's another case of 'ignorant cavemen majority tops the logic using clan-destines... Again. So, in a sense, the only reason we are judged in this way is some sort of cruel 'catch 22' if you will, in which to gain this sympathy and distinction, we first need an equal opposition which is impossible to attain because of the horrific rumors and slanders that weigh down the already controversial 'true zoo' community. I apologise if I rambled, I just can't stand being oppressed like this. And thanks for everything you are doing here.
ReplyDeleteHi Byron. Sorry for not responding earlier; life has been hectic and strange these last couple months.
DeleteYou're definitely right in my mind about everything Anon stands for on this issue (or did; nothing much seemed to come of this proclamation, apart from a few porn site hiccups and BeastForum going underground). That having been said, sometimes those with bad intentions can still end up doing good things, such as (again, in my opinion) said porn site and BeastForum problems.
We are oppressed. We will continue to be oppressed for a long time, too, but already the more liberal-minded people are starting to realize that that oppression may not be warranted. I think it's only a matter of time before Anon, generally a very liberal "group", starts to see things our way too.
Sorry, it's me, Byron- I had to delete my last account because of all the YouTube stalking. I think you're right here, so long as only the explicit sites go under, we (the 'true zoos') might be seen more clearly and dissociated from the abusers and beastie boys, however I still stand against everything anonymous says and does. As you say though, we could use them in such a sense as our personal juggernauts to clear the unsavoury types from our midst.
ReplyDeleteWe could, if they managed to do anything at all. A shame about that, but not entirely unexpected.
DeleteI'll speak as someone who spent years on imageboards and ahem "witnessed" these sorts of activities (though not this one). I'm also a zoo, at least I know it of myself (might not fit everyone's profile).
ReplyDeleteYou're right that anonymous on its own is useless in direct website attacks. The only times sites have been seriously affected (which HAS happened), there was always a small group of actual hackers that fed the anon sheep passwords, tools, etc.
But keep in mind anon is excellent at digging up and cross-referencing information, with no extra help. They have exposed a lot of individuals this way over the years.
That just happens to be the expertise that zoos need to fear most from others on the internet. And a crusade like this can easily branch off into individual witch hunts overnight, especially when easy targets appear. So if you're going to encourage this you should be [i]really damn sure[/i] that none of your friends have kept accounts on bestiality sites. A lot of zoos do have or have had accounts on them. In my observations a lot of well-intentioned zoos are semi-absent-minded when it comes to privacy practices.
