“Gay Furry Hackers” Claim Credit for Hacking Heritage Foundation Over Project 2025 (theintercept.com)

SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the rightwing Project 2025 playbook. On Wednesday, as part of string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose trans rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.

In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted rightwing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.

In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.

“We’re strongly against Project 2025 and everything the Heritage Foundation stands for,” one of SiegedSec’s leaders, who goes by the handle vio, told The Intercept.

Bro you're on Lemmy. It's mostly furries here. How did you think this comment would go?

I'm not concerned with points or score. I cannot abide bestiality-adjacent people who have a disproportionally high number of groomers in their community. I may not be able to stop them from being an abomination, they should absolutely be on some kind of watchlist. You be an apologist if you want, I can't stop you, but I won't let it be sugar coated whether y'all want to admit there's a problem or not.

Any group is comprised of groomers and bestiality practitioners if you tell yourself they are and refuse to actually look into what they represent.

Citation needed. Tbh this sounds like a fascinating dataset but I'm skeptical it even exists.

Ironic you're on a post like this preaching hate and misinformation. Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it turns out for ya.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Huh. I hear drag queens and trans people have a high number of groomers in their community. I used to hear it about gay men too (and sometimes still do). I wonder if that's actually just a lie designed to demonize a marginalized community?

Oh, but I'm sure it's true this time.

I didn't apologize for anything or side with anything

"beastiality-adjacent"? Furries HATE Zoos. Don't even go there. If you cross that line you will be exiled from the Furry community. They will doxx you and they will beat your ass if you ever show up to another con. Whatever you think you know about the furry community, you are dead wrong. Zoophiles are disgusting and Furries will single them out and throw them under the bus when we find them.

Animals are friends, not mates. Furries have plenty of other Furries to fuck anyway.
