Just to caveat, as an old head I do actually want to offer context to one of the more obscure/legendary posts. But let’s also keep it respectful of this persons very bad day, as ridiculous as it was to essentially everyone else.

      The legacy started earlier than the climatic events on r/cth. Basically they were active on leftist furry subreddits and had a, as they described it, a deep personal connection to Zootopia. This was the height of ACAB and in those leftist furry spaces people started critiquing Judy Hopps (all bunny cops are bastards etc).

      This person believed that leftist memes were some kind of unrelenting juggernaut of cultural hegemony (no, actually though) and that Zootopia was going to be cancelled, along with Hopps.

      Cue going to leftist subs and trying to plead that Judy Hopps is ok and for people to stop critiquing her. Of course people think it’s a bit and start joking about it, until this persons increasingly emotionally distraught posts, erratic behavior, and post history come to light: they were totally sincere.

      The mods see someone having a breakdown and ban them to try and prevent them from being so online, but they start making alts and just head right back in. Eventually they petered out as people mostly started trying to talk them down and bunny posting was suspended.

      More than anything I wish I had screenshotted their posts, since they were honestly some of the funniest shit I’ve ever read, and I say that with a lot of sympathy for what they were going through, they were clearly having some kind of episode, but it was still deeply deeply funny.

        see, with the meme takeaway being 'don't fuck the bunny cop' i'd assumed it was hornier in character than that. thanks for the deep lore insight

          Surprisingly unhorny in truth, though I’m not going to deny that being horn’t for the Hopps probably played a role.
