Sat Lake Tribune puts out another analysis of the story.
“The group of students being targeted, he added, were students who sometimes come to school wearing headbands “that may have ears on them.” He said doesn’t think the targeted students necessarily refer to themselves as “furries.”
“These are pretty young kids,” he said. “You’ll have students that show up with headbands and giant bows; you’ll have students that show up dressed as their favorite basketball player, or baseball player. That’s just what kids this age do.”
“In one specific instance, the targeted students “were sitting in a corner of the lunchroom, eating as a group of friends” when others began calling them names and throwing food at them “because they were dressed differently,” Sorenson told The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday, providing more details about the situation.”
It is important to point out that the victims of the bullies may not necessary are part of the furry fandom. They may be interested in Anime (Nekochans and shows like Tokyo Mew Mew) or they just like the ears. I also fail to see how students wearing ear head bands is disrupting at school especially they are sold in store like Claires, Hot Topic and Forever 21. Even Sanrio went into the game selling ear bands of popular characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinamolol and Kuromi.
What I see is a school instead of disciplining the bullies with detention and suspension, the school issues a “can we get along letter.” Something happened and the bullies escalated the situation by making false claims barking, biting and harassment against furries. The claims are picked up by shock atrocity tourism sites like Lib of Tick Tok and now things are flipped by blaming the victims not the bullies.
