The fascist fringe of furry fans: the Eastern Orthodox connection.

Here’s a community access guest post with anonymity to protect sources. New readers will benefit from background in the Altfurry tag, which documents a loose fringe of pests who include terrorists like Portland mass shooter Benjamin Smith. The guest author says: “they’re a nasty bunch… this is a great way to get all this info out. There’s so much information most furries don’t know or have context for. I appreciate that you’re willing to go up against these people.” It’s hosted with opinions belonging to the guest. – Editor 

PART 1 / 2 – Notable names and their ties and tells.

This report is meant to shed light on a particular strain of furry fascist that is far more ideological and militant than Altfurry ever was, with most people involved orbiting Reagan Lodge, a die-hard fascist and furry artist who has been in the fandom for 2 decades but was not exposed until 2020. The common pattern between all of them is an obsession for drawing furries and military imagery, often themed around historical conflicts and authoritarian regimes. (Their obscure ideologies/dogwhistles get a look in the second half.)

Reagan Lodge AKA Sulacoyote

The Kevin Bacon of the twitter far-right. Reagan Lodge, aka Sulacoyote, has been in the furry fandom for years, drawing art of furries in Nazi uniforms or the armor from Jin-Roh (an anime beloved by online Nazis). He somehow got quite the following despite drawing like this; (red labeled by editor.)

Hail Satan: the original furry

by Patch O'Furr

2025 Editor’s Note: In 2019, the documentary Hail Satan? depicted The Satanic Temple (TST) as a progressive organization taking on political corruption through prankish First Amendment activism. The idea of challenging far-right Christian nationalists with their own tactics is powerful and funny, giving bible-bangers a dose of their own medicine when they shit on the separation of church and state. Satan isn’t real, but American equality should be.

Subsequently, whistleblowers emerged to document the TST as more of a grift than anything that Dogpatch Press wants to support. Using vexatious litigation to punish critics of TST is antithetical to journalism. Of course, news about “satanic furries” also uses creative license for humor and satire. This wasn’t to be taken seriously in the first place. This note was prompted by far-right propaganda fronts doing just that, as if their readers who belong on a short bus should fear a supposed Satanic Furry threat posed by a handful of nerds who enjoy pranks as much as cartoon animals. (Their real reason for quoting Dogpatch Press out of context was hatred of queer people.)

The fundamental enemy here is low literacy; education neutralizes far-right propaganda, and you can learn more about TST from critics like Queer Satanic (who keep beating TST in court) or this expose by Dead Domains. The 2019 article follows. – Patch

Recently, furries are debating about appearing in ads, with fear of commercializing like a devil’s bargain with corporations. They’re saying “Keep furry weird“. Let’s help.

Pride month just passed. Yay, now it’s time for all the other sins!

Hey furries, go Envy some cute costumes. Have Greed for art you don’t need (but you deserve it). Be a Glutton for hugs. Lust for a fursuit crush. Give Wrath for bigots. Enjoy Sloth after a furry con. Why not? Does anyone actually want to go to heaven, the eternally boring place for goodie-two-shoes with no good parties?

Hell is where to find real fun and friends. It’s like a furry convention. If you go there for doing just ONE sin… you might as well go for broke.

Of course those places are fairy tales. Bronze-age sheep herders made invisible friends to herd the masses to serve powerful elites. Superstitious storytelling is only as worthy as the meaning it brings. (Bibles can be good story sources, no argument there). That’s one skeptical opinion, anyways.

That’s why Satanists we’re talking about today don’t worship a deity. They’re just atheists with a grin, and pranksters with a point. Satan isn’t real, but they’re all about owning the power of a symbol.

He stands for rebellion against hypocrisy, nonconformity towards injustice, individual freedom, and Luciferian enlightenment. Religion vilifies disobedience, but it’s healthy to think for yourself. If a serpent gives you an apple, go ahead and take a bite, because you know what they say about an apple a day.

If you think about it, furry fandom is based on symbolism and totemism. You can even say Satan is the original furry.
