A simmering threat [2026]

Washington is on the volcanically active Pacific Ring of Fire. It’s famous for the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, when the volcano went through months of earthquakes and swelled with magma until it exploded. It released 24 megatons of energy, left a mile-wide crater, killed 57 people, devastated hundreds of miles of land, and was the most financially destructive volcanic event in US history. It caused major new awareness of disaster preparation. Today deep under the mountain, a complex, interconnected magmatic system makes the next eruption an even bigger threat; not if, but when it comes.

This isn’t the story of a natural threat. It’s about another socially-constructed one below the surface.

In October 2026, a Washington furry named Matthew “Cupid” Grabowsky is set to be released from jail. He’ll be on parole for his second conviction for preying on children and animals. Grabowsky did it in a ring of predators like him in the Pacific Northwest furry community, who present as regular community members, but keep another face hidden. Grabowsky’s return is being watched by people whose warnings were brushed off, before and after he was caught — and those who know how many uncaught ring members are still where they always have been.

When Grabowsky was first arrested, he was at the epicenter of a quake under the community. Members scrambled to hide or face heat from the police. It shook out some buried corruption, and would make one organizer factory-reset his phone to hide involvement. A few ring members took the blame, but most of the evidence was buried, with friends helping to smooth it over. The impact was shallow in the end, and aftershocks weren’t seen as connected. There was no map to monitor the fault lines. The few other ring members who got caught were seen as internet denizens, not as part of a specific real life scene that connects offline, which helps it to stay hidden underground.

Zoosadist investigation: Matthew “Cupid” Grabowsky harasses investigator, gets immediately slapped with child porn conviction

Content warning for animal abuse and sexual violence. 

In September 2021, Washington furry fan Matthew “Cupid” Grabowsky was convicted for a new charge of child porn possession. He faces up to 20 years in jail. This revives news of his 2019 animal cruelty conviction, which drew protest about his continued presence in the furry fan community. We’ll look into how Cupid was convicted this time, but first let’s look at how this supports a deeper story about a crime ring he was in.

NEW CORROBORATION: 2019 reporting by Dogpatch Press featured Cupid in the headline, and claimed a deeper story.

The 2019 report here covered a big leak of a furry/zoophile crime ring for animal torture porn (zoosadism) and child abuse. Think movie serial-killer-like behavior. Hundreds of hours of investigation found a “matrix of corroboration”. Legal documents for Cupid’s new conviction add more evidence:

  • There’s new disclosure of serious crime predating August 2018; the same time period in the Dogpatch Press report.
  • Cupid’s 2019 conviction was a misdemeanor that let him off easy, indicating he gained a plea deal that let him come back and minimize his crime.
  • Cupid’s 2021 charge led to immediate conviction with a guilty plea. (That can happen from breaking terms of a deal, explaining why it came out now.)
  • The newly disclosed crime involved multiple child victims, even toddlers forced into sexual contact with animals.
  • Victim ID’s hinted in new court documents don’t match other known victims reported to law enforcement; more may keep coming out.

Evidence of a furry crime ring emerges: Legal docs and news tie Cupid, Tane, more to zoosadism.

A rape plan [October 2017]

It’s near Halloween. In Coos Bay, Oregon, spooky movies are playing at the Egyptian Theater. And Snakething (Levi Simmons) is at home having an evening chat with a new friend, Tane, a furry fan in California. The men were introduced by a friend with a mutual interest. 

Tane goes to college, and Snakething lives with his mom — he can’t drive or work, so he spends time gathering online friends from around the world. Most come from the furry fandom. Furries often gather for special interests, like art or music, but Snakething obsessively collects porn from secret sources. His friends make a crime ring for zoosadism (a fetish for raping, torturing and murdering animals). They call it “hardzoo” (or hardzoosuiting with a fursuit, a very rare interest that they try to “corrupt” others into).

Tonight Tane and Snakething are making plans for Nacho (Nachodoggo), a woman who recently reported crimes by two other men tied to the ring. (A video of those men abusing her dog was leaked by a friend of Snakething, leading to their arrests.) The plan is to drug Nachodoggo, and when she’s unconscious, rape her with others she isn’t aware of, like their friend Tekkita.
