A Connecticut councilman is resigning after his profile on a website catering to “furries” appeared on social media — but the outgoing first-term Democrat insists his animal costume special interest has “nothing to do with love.”
New Milford Councilman Scott Chamberlain, who was up for re-election, is stepping down after a town resident posted several screenshots on Facebook of the lawmaker’s profile on a private website for “furries,” a subculture of people who don animal costumes, sometimes for loveual gratification.
The profile on sofurry.com — according to the Danbury News Times, which first reported on it Thursday — includes a list of Chamberlain’s preferences, ranging from “loves” to “likes” to “tolerates” to “hates” in order to customize content sent to users. Chamberlain, whose avatar resembles a fox named “Gray Muzzle,” insisted to the newspaper that his interest in the subculture stems from an appreciation for animal characters like Tony the Tiger and Mickey Mouse.
“It’s nothing to do with love; it’s an interest in cartoon animals,” Chamberlain told the newspaper Thursday.
But the profile also indicated that Chamberlain “tolerates” rape, prompting at least one commenter on the Facebook post to question the lawmaker’s ability to lead.

furries are infiltrating our government to try and normalize their behavior. Execute him.

[The Resonte!]

not exactly kind or accepting to get rid of him for being a furry

but it is hilarious, in a way

Don't really care as long as he's just watching rape research and not actually raping people
If people didn't have a problem with anything he's done in office before this then I think it's clear his personal life isn't having an impact on his work, so he shouldn't really be held accountable for that.

You mean as a publicly elected official? Who represents the interests of his community and constituents?

ya no, you're way off

If you insist, I'm just saying, I couldn't give a stuff if a councilman of my area was revealed to be into ABDL or some grotesque stuff like that as long as he's doing his job properly

As much as this sucks, I can see why he resigned. 90% of being a politician is public image. If people know you had "rape" listed as "tolerated" as a special interest then the vast majority of people are going to be creeped out by it despite the fact that it doesn't actually translate into tolerating rape in real life.
