Tyler Robinson and the Violence of Porn

Multiple media outlets have reported that Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was an avid consumer of pornography. The Daily Mail relays that Robinson was embedded in dark corners of the internet, featuring sexually explicit content starring humanoid animals. This is a common interest of a group called “furries,” people who prefer to identify as non-human creatures and adopt an animal alter-ego, or “fursona.”
