Tony The Tiger blocks furries on Twitter

...god damn.

It's a fucking cereal with a run of the mill children's mascot that happens to be a tiger, and fucking losers have been plaguing their Facebook page with fucking smut? What the fuck would you expect them to do? Roll with the punches so every customer can go ahead and read commenters asking for the fucking thing to shove its cock up their ass? Are you fucked? I'd ban the fuck out of every furry I could find myself if I was in that position.

This whole spiel is fucking insane. It's stupid enough that they'd have an official Facebook page.

I just don't get how somebody could find it to be even a remotely good idea to write shit like that on a public page that is operated by a fucking cereal manufacturer of all things.

This is the first I've heard of that shit, and I'm fucking blown away. Every time you think there's a rock-bottom for stupid, somebody finds a shovel.

Nobody actually wants to shove frosties up their bottom, and the whole situation is pretty hilarious. Naturally it's still not very appropriate really. 

If an article on the Huffington post making a cheeky comment about furries upsets people, maybe take furrydom a little less seriously. I'm a little tired of the 'all the other furries are gross but me' mantra, personally. 

I knew that. It's just some stupid game like you said, but that doesn't make me any happier about it. The Huffington post didn't bother me, but it annoys me when, due to all this shit, I talk to people in real life about my fursona/interest in furry stuff and they laugh/give me a weird look and ask/assume it's about sex. I'm not saying I'm opposed to NSFW art of my sona, but I'm not going to go acting like a blabbering idiot in public who's mind seems to revolve around sex, regardless of it's a joke or not.

Most of the comments aren't sincere requests for sex. It was a joke to make the people running the Tony account feel awkward by sending swooning tweets his way, and it gradually became competitive; who can leave the boldest most embarrassing comment?

But how do you know that was their intent?

Because furries feel entitled to harrass a guy who doesn't get paid enough to handle social networking, let's have a compilation!

He was warned... but it was too late...

Unsurprisingly, Furries still feel they are entitled to tweet the guy about their intimate fantasies.

Are you seriously surprised that furries are misinterpreted? Really? Are you sure?

Has anybody noticed that most of the articles are using the same 5 or so comments? 

 

Ding ding ding ding!

I noticed as much when the online rags (mostly Gawker Media again) tried to make this "a thing" back in friggin' November.

It rather reminds me of when the online media went went apeshit that EHMEGHERD THOUSANDS OF MRAS ARE MARCHING IN THE STREETS PROTESTING MAD MAX! when it turned out it was just one MRA on Twitter and his poopy-knickered followers, or when any story about COLLEGE STUDENTS GONE MAD! turns out to be one campus club or one particular clique of morons.

It's all about the clickbait, baby.

I also agree that most of these people are just doing this for the lulz.

I'm wondering something:

On the Internet, not being able to correctly identify trolling, lulz, or irony is usually considered a horribly embarrassing gaffe worthy of endless derision and mockery.

It occurs to me that many of these news sites semi-earnestly reporting that furries are sexually harassing Tony the Tiger may be committing that gaffe, basically.

Could the furry community potentially take back its power by laughing at these seemingly-credulous media sites and their consumers for not being able to correctly identify and dismiss trolling when they see it? Given that the types of people who write for these sites are overwhelmingly smug hipsters who fancy themselves savvier-than-thou, insinuating that they don't really know how to Internet because they actually believed people wanted to fuck a cereal mascot could be a fun way to troll 'em.

Next time someone asks about furries, I will tell them that all the stories are true. Furries are a bunch of perverts that have no self control. They have sex in fursuits. They fantasize about dog cock. They are a bunch of autistic dogfuckers.

Gawd, why am I still here?

I think we should send them murry purry comments begging for tummy tickles and walkies. 

 

In fairness some of the articles did report that it was a joke. Just few of the users commenting on this thread read down far enough. 

Fair enough.

Oh, and that would actually be funny. If Buzzfeed wants a headline, "Furries Demand Walkies and Tummy Rubs" would win the gold medal, I think.

I hope Chester rolls with it and takes it to a whole new level.  But what a great desk job.  Punching keys for Chester, getting all the furries excited.  Maybe he'll hit a con.  Maybe tony will feel remorse and hit one, too.  That shit would quickly escalate out of control.

To be honest I think they knew it (mostly) wasn't 100% sincere, but quite frankly who isn't gonna believe people would do this shit unironically? I mean seriously look at us.

Besides, they're all 3-sentence clickbait articles that no one except self-conscious furries even bothered to read.

"Send dick pics"!!

I can't wait to see how the official Chester the Cheetah fares since he openly invited all furries to follow him.  Some are already taking him up on it.

He should post something like this as a reply:
