I originally read this at FNN, so I'm probably confused about the logistics, because, well... the story was confusing on who was a furry, who was murdered, and what in general was going on. Not because it didn't say who was and who wasn't, but it throws all these names and backstory at you before saying which one of the names was the murderer, and who was the victim, and then there was the words sexual assault which was even more confusing. "Texted after the assault", wait, the murder or the accused sexual assault??
In fact now that I read this article the previous article makes a little more sense. After literally reading through it 5 or 6 times.
Though, statisitically speaking, I didn't realize there was 20,000 people at anthrocon. Now 20,000 people in the fandom? I would say that might be a fair estimate at this point. Still, I guess in essense there still is only one case, as I'm not sure whether the person who murdered Starblade is furry or considered himself such or not, just as I'm not sure if the other player in this story were furries, but they were certainly in a relationship with one, which make me suspicious. It seems though that all of these stories of murder and proxy murder are coming all up at once.
I guess I will redact that statement and replace it with this: "Well, I guess no one can say a furry isn't worth killing someone over." Because after reading this over and over, my guess is the ex boyfriend got wind of the assault allegation and killed the accused assaulter over it for touching a girl he wasn't over.
