Mr A Challenor and his ilk are prominent in the “furry” community and especially online.
The tails some of them use are attached to butt-plugs.
There’s a very obvious reason why dressing up as a fluffy animal in a baggy costume and entering areas where children may ask to come up and hug you might be a suspect occupation.
And that’s before you add in the creepy fetish that commonly goes along with being furry, of wearing a nappy you can soil in public.
Paraphilias cluster. Men who dress up in public places as anything they are not, for sexual thrills, are more likely to be exhibitionists and sex offenders as well.
I’ve been reading accounts on Twix from ex police officers, who trained back when it was well understood that men in women’s clothing in public were fairly likely to also be sex offenders, particularly those who invaded women’s spaces. They describe watching, initially with mystification and then horror, as mention of this obvious fact became forbidden.
We need society to return to sanity and stop encouraging any open signs or displays of sexual behaviour in public.
