1) 28 TWEET THREAD. We're helping tippers put a problem on record. It starts with convicted animal rapist @cupidthedeer. His crime blew open the ring with @KeroTheWolf. Now there's questionable trust for events and groups who host the problem. en.wikifur.com/wiki/Cupid_the… #animalabuse 
2) "Questionable trust" falls short of naming the problem. It's not innocent people reacting to crime after finding out. It's circles of fellow travelers who enable each other. Some furry fandom events and groups are tacitly and corruptly run by and for zoophiles. #corruption
3) You may not know it, but zoophiles know each other. They make safe spaces for each other where animal abuse gets taken for granted. @cupidthedeer was just one who got convicted while many like Kero get away with it. #stopanimalabuse #zoophilia

4) This isn't accusing everyone at events of supporting animal abuse. Members want help. The problem is zoophiles are under your nose and using the fandom like a doormat. They take admin positions to cover each other. It only takes a few to dig in where they're hard to uproot.
5) Next parts look at evidence of @cupidthedeer's crime, and share tipper claims of connections to @furryskiweekend. Thread ends with hoping for help from members who care to reduce abusive tendencies in the fandom. en.wikifur.com/wiki/Furry_Ski… #furryskiweekend #antizoophile #furries
6) If you see yourself in @furryskiweekend group photos, take the opportunity to set yourself apart. Speak out about the problem caused by others in them. Tag us to be seen and show you care. #animalscantconsent #zoophiliaisabuse
7) In 15 years @furryskiweekend has grown to over 70 furries a year. The three furries who founded and run it were tight with @cupidthedeer. Fom Colorado and the Pacific Northwest: @DireHeartbeat, @TuaoloTheJag, and @tekfox. #nospaceforzoophiles
8) Zoophiles at @furryskiweekend include founders @DireHeartbeat, @TuaoloTheJag and more close to them. @cupidthedeer is pictured (far left) with known zoophile @akaricloud (3rd from left). Tippers claim Cupid is reluctantly banned, but still welcome for unofficial meets.
9) After being convicted for animal rape and supposedly banned, Cupid comfortably tags @furryskiweekend in 2020. archive.ph/2zn5Q
If you see downplaying of the crime and memory-holing it, you should know how bad it was. Let's look back at what came out.
If you see downplaying of the crime and memory-holing it, you should know how bad it was. Let's look back at what came out.
10) 2017: Matthew "Cupid" Grabowsky was arrested for raping a service dog of the ex partner and domestic abuse victim of Kevin "Noodles" Richards. Noodles was charged for threats and blackmail on his ex to hide what he did with Cupid. (PDF download link) en.wikifur.com/w/images/a/a8/…
11) 2019: Cupid pleads guilty. Noodles was also convicted for his part in the triangle. scribd.com/document/42058…
12) It all came out when video of the crime traded to a zoophile/sadist/pedophile ring, then leaked back to the dog owner. Despite threats from Cupid/Noodles and the ring, she reported it to police. Her report made local news before the ring was outed. rentonreporter.com/news/two-men-c…
13) This was an inciting incident that broke open everything known about the ring and members like @KeroTheWolf. The leak was such a liability that zoophiles outed more, leading to 25 years jail for ringleader Levi "Snakething" Simmons. Some may have benefited from plea deals.
14) The ring made furry fandom news. #furries #furryfandom #stopanimalabuse #stopabuse #stopanimalrape #zoosadism #zoophilia #pedophilia

15) So Cupid's charges were pieces of a much bigger puzzle. His guilty plea for animal cruelty was a very reduced resolution. He could have faced much worse for what he did. The evidence shows he got off incredibly light. Repeat: got off light.
16) Convictions like Cupid's are the tip of an iceberg, because prosecution of animal abuse is very rare for how common it is. Most videos of it hide faces to avoid proof, but Cupid's charges were guaranteed by his face in video that wasn't supposed to leak.
17) What else did Cupid do? Two sources say more. The initial 2017 police report claims he was getting pets from adoption ads, raping, killing and dumping them. Knowing about it wasn't enough for charges. But independent evidence came out in 2018 when the ring was outed.
18) The police report on Cupid and Noodles likely got ringleader Levi "Snakething" Simmons watched by the FBI before his child sex conviction. In 2018 suspicious zoophiles leaked the ring's chats. Independently the chats also say: Cupid got pets from ads and traded child porn.
19) Again, that's two sources consistently saying Cupid got pets from ads to rape and dump, and traded CP with a convicted ringleader who did that too and discussed doing it with him. Timing of coming out later shows the sources were independent. Connect the dots.
20) The evidence shows Cupid was a repeat offender who got off with a slap on the wrist. Animal cruelty is just a misdemeanor. After conviction Cupid is back in the fandom, and nothing happened to many other people he traded videos with besides the ringleader.
21) See how narrow justice is when someone gets off light but the crime was the tip of an iceberg? Abusive tendencies are a much wider problem. Personal callouts don't show the extent. (We're not for callouts, we're a watchdog for organized group activity and the whole iceberg.)
22) The whole iceberg comes with group tendency to downplay individual offenses. Before someone gets caught, organizers may shrug it off as "not our job," "didn't happen in our group", or "show official court proof" (which may be a slap on the wrist).
23) After conviction it's like flipping a magical switch: "it's over", "we didn't know", "the system takes care of it so we don't have to" or "don't trust the system, they get things wrong". That's convenient for ones who get away and admins who are tight with them or hide crime.
24) Our tippers came forward about it happening with @cupidthedeer and @furryskiweekend; claiming organizers aren't bystanders, they flip the switch on purpose. The point isn't to call out guilt by association, but show evidence of a fandom-wide problem to seek change.
25) We've gotten consistent tips from multiple sources. Here's some repeat info about @furryskiweekend that points to the whole iceberg.
26) Tipper gives the bottom line:
27) These tips match other sources. The tipper didn't link us to some more independent evidence. This puts a spotlight on a fandom-wide problem, not just one individual.

28) If it makes you mad, don't shoot the messengers. Seek answers and real substantial effort, not lip service, excuses, denial, ignoring, or backlash by those who normalize and give cover. Ask the fandom to get your back and not let the status quo bury the truth.

The founders of @furryskiweekend chose not to refute the evidence or speak against a crime. #furryskiweekend
Do we have psychic power or was our thread dead-on? A tipper shared this screen of @FetchNW refusing to protect the community from a convicted rapist, who didn't just make a mistake, but is credibly suspected of serial predation and killing animal victims.

Read upthread to revisit evidence that @cupidthedeer 1) was only caught by mistake with a leak from a pedophile friend now jailed 25 years, 2) Aided crime to hide it making a 2nd conviction for extortion/death threats, 3) Got off with a slap on the wrist. @FetchNW doesn't care.
Organizers say they aren't police, judge or jury. But a judge already ruled there was a crime and THEY DON'T RUN YOUR EVENT. YOU DO! Imagine saying you need permission from a judge to act about hate speech. Welcoming a rapist is a broken promise @FetchNW. fetchnw.com/partyrights/
Tippers say the organizer chat was 10 days ago without hope of action after 2 years of ignoring. How about another look @FetchNW. Police and judges don't run your event, you do. A lot of people are unhappy about excuses and we're here to help them. Should they appeal to venues?

Cupid raped an animal and tried to cover it up. After he pled guilty, he's lying to do it again.
Matty: lies have cost. Come at us. We can afford lawyers. And you will pay.
Should @thefuzzfactory wish to make a statement opposing animal abuse, we appreciate them. Filing a counter-claim for your photo would be an amazing way to neutralize tarnishing of a good maker's work by a bad owner. Not just silencing one tweet, but good PR wherever the suit is.

Organizers of @FetchNW are pre-emptively blocking if you post about convicted animal abuser @cupidthedeer being welcome at their event. @matthewebel is one we never engaged. Here's their chat admins being friendly after his conviction.

Review:
1. Complaint to chat admin about a judged-guilty criminal deflected like "we can't judge"
2. Same admin: casual chat with Cupid about drinking in his hot tub.
3. Other chat admin acts almost like they don't know of complaints.
4. Playing helpless.

"You can have a cute fursuit, work on airplanes, and be friends with the local chat admins and invite them to your hot tub. But get caught and convicted just once for being in an animal rape murder ring, you're always an animal rapist ;_; "
People are wondering why events favor a rapist and it isn't more known. One reason: "talking the right talk" in public about social justice, while doing the opposite in private. Example: Why does Cupid say ACAB (anti police slogan)? Because he got caught.

Update: our thread started in May 2021, MONTHS before there were official records of Cupid's crimes that were charged by surprise in the summer. He was immediately convicted. Criminal records here: t.me/cupidthedeer_c… CONTENT WARNING for details of sex offenses.
This made fandom news. Cupid's sentencing is scheduled for late April 2022. dogpatch.press/2021/10/04/zoo…
