My latest blog post was posted to Hacker News this morning.

Unsurprisingly, the amount of "eww furry" in the comment thread is nonzero.

@soatok when articles I've written somehow wind up on HN, there are comments complaining that my site is "too purple."

A hive of scum and villainy, that place.

@soatok Too... Purple? Are colors woke now too?

@ZeirosLion @soatok I mean, you have to be careful about colors, you get enough of them and you might accidentally make a rainbow

@cliffle @ZeirosLion @soatok You(cliffle)'re clearly joking, but a rainbow on a website (especially if it's straight) can be considered "praising LGBT", which is highly illegal is Russia.

So, Soatok, your website is illegal here.

@SobbV0hoX @cliffle @ZeirosLion @soatok I know. That's why I use to joke, that I'm considered a terrorist in Russia.

@nlupo You are also a foreign agent, because you receive money from foreign countries (foreign to russia, so non-russia). You have to prefix all your statements with:

НАСТОЯЩИЙ МАТЕРИАЛ (ИНФОРМАЦИЯ) ПРОИЗВЕДЕН, РАСПРОСТРАНЕН И (ИЛИ) НАПРАВЛЕН ИНОСТРАННЫМ АГЕНТОМ «nLupo» ЛИБО КАСАЕТСЯ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ИНОСТРАННОГО АГЕНТА «nLupo». 18+

Oh, and also you legally can't curse[1] or look at gay porn[2]

В Госдуме предложили повысить штраф за мат в 10 раз (включая интернет)

Инициативу, которая касается ужесточения наказания за нецензурную лексику в любых общественных местах, рассмотрят на межфракционной комиссии по защите русского языка.

@SobbV0hoX And probably they consider every furry art to be porn.
