You don’t know me but I’ve been working in IT since before the internet had pictures, and actual credit hours in cybersecurity. Yes there is a subsection of furries that are into it, but you’re naive if you think that today’s best hackers even have a publicly accessible profiles.
The intersection is interesting, but points more to the confluence of social media activity and subversive mindsets than any inherent proclivity for tech.
I.e. people active on social media and therefore more well known are likely to have nontraditional values, and a certain percent are tech savvy that’s not too far off from the per-capita of any other terminally online subculture.
More to the point, there are several subcultures that claim to have ‘today’s best hackers’, anons, modders, crackers, AI bros, cryptobros, kernel contributors, hell even freaking gacha bros have a legit claim.
Being furry is no more an indicator than being into NFTs but people like to create narratives in their head that uplifts their chosen values, it’s just standard tribal monkey behavior
Made me laugh, anyway.
For those not in on the joke:
Some of today’s best hackers are members of the furry community, and infosec.pub is a hub for Cybersecurity discussions.
BWAHHAHAHAHAHAH no
I think you’re in denial.
I challenge you (and anyone) to explore the furry community and not run across some excellent Cybersecurity content!
