Furry artist conspiracy theory
From Soyjak Wiki, The Free Soycyclopedia
The furry artist conspiracy theory, also known as the furry falseflag,[1] is a debunked[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] myth[9][10] on the origin of soyjak which falsely alleges that "over 100+ wojak edits" were commissioned by a "massive diaper shit loving sperg", and that, by extension, anyone "spamming" soyjak should be considered to be him. This conspiracy theory is extremely dangerous to our democracy. It was debunked by Snopes[11] and it scored a "liar liar pants on fire" on PolitiFact.[12]
History
The false post appeared near the end of a wojak thread on /v/ on 4 October, 2019.[13] It was then screenshotted and disseminated as fact, despite providing no evidence. By 4 November, 2019, it had already been debunked "weeks ago".[14]
