| − | == Fandom involvement ==
| + | |
| − | Crusader Cat was introduced to the furry fandom when he was 17, through [[yiff]] art. As a result, he became fiercely [[anti-furry]]. A couple of years later, after discovering and contacting [[Christian furries]], he became more tolerant of the fandom.

| − | In March 2008, he decided that becoming a furry could help him deal with some of his issues regarding sexuality, and he attended [[Anthrocon 2008]].

| − | * '''Christian''' - Crusader Cat was denied membership at St. Freds (the [[Christian Furry Fellowship]]) for his views on Christian rock{{fact}} (though he is still allowed in the chat room and forums) and was temporarily banned from [[Furrs Fur Christ]] for posting angry comments related to Narnia and was considered a security threat.{{fact}} Since these incidents he has been allowed to return to Furrs Fur Christ after meeting with some of the administrators at Anthrocon. He finds it extremely difficult to have a conversation with anyone and has trouble with social situations. He usually stays away from others and keeps quiet.

| − | * '''Non-Christian''' - Crusader Cat believes he has offended many with his beliefs. When he wrote a journal on Fur Affinity about "spreading the word" (ostensibly announcing an outreach ministry), many of the responding furries had a negative reaction, leading Crusader Cat to believe that they believed he wanted to "force religion down their throats".<ref>Copy of ''[http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5036/crusaderministry.gif Outreach Ministry]'' - Crusader Cat</ref>. The real reason behind the animosity towards CrusaderCat is not centered on his religious beliefs themselves but the fact he imposes them on others while having committed various acts of bestiality from the ages of 16-19. He has said that as a result he gets almost nothing but hate mail with threats, derogatory and defamatory claims, and unauthorized pornography from non-Christian furries.<ref>''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Z3-XCW7nA Crusaders Haters]'' - Crusader Cat</ref>

| − | * '''Intolerance of others''' - Crusader Cat has proven to have an intolerance against people who are homosexuals. He made videos which were on Youtube, publicly available. The videos were removed once his status on [[EncyclopediaDramatica]] ranked all the way to front page.

| − | Crusader Cat posted a topic to the Fur Affinity forums, with a long list of submissions that he believed violated the rules. The rules of Fur Affinity clearly state 'intent' must be present for content to break the rules, of which many of the submissions in the list did not have a muster of intent. The post was removed, and another administrator contacted him to resolve the issue. However the next day, his account was banned due to the prior legal threat.<ref>[http://crusadercat.deviantart.com/art/Fur-Affinity-Exposed-1-of-5-136965027 ''Fur Affinity Exposed'', part 1] - [http://crusadercat.deviantart.com/art/Fur-Affinity-Exposed-2-of-5-136965111 2] - [http://crusadercat.deviantart.com/art/Fur-Affinity-Exposed-3-of-5-136965353 3] - [http://crusadercat.deviantart.com/art/Fur-Affinity-Exposed-4-of-5-136965444 4] - [http://crusadercat.deviantart.com/art/Fur-Affinity-Exposed-5-of-5-136965560 5] - Crusader Cat, [[deviantART]] (13 September 2009)</ref>

| − | ==== Sexuality ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Although he has changed his views on furry fandom, Crusader Cat is still strongly opposed to yiff. Before he discovered the fandom, he had struggled with [[Wikipedia:Foot fetishism|foot fetishism]] and [[bestiality]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When he discovered [[furotica]], his foot fetish evolved into a [[paw]] fetish. He considers all furotica a form of bestiality pornography and actively encourages others to abstain from yiff, which he has posted in written form on [[deviantART]] and in video format on [[YouTube]].

| − | Other furs often disagree with him, pointing out that furries are typically not intended to represent unintelligent animals, but reasoning beings.

| − | ==References== | + | ==== Controversy ==== |
| − | <references />
| + | Multiple individuals have claimed that Crusader Cat is homophobic and a zoophile. These claims stem from comments he made implying homosexuality is a “sin” and a document supposedly created by him giving graphic details about bestiality. Crusader Cat denies that he is “homophobic”, and claims that the “document” is a forgery. So far, no furry (homosexual or otherwise) has come forward and claimed to be hurt or mistreated by him. |
