This week on Slog, we’re looking back at a few of our favorite blog posts from the year. Since it’s Hump Day, why don’t we reflect on a little cock? Maybe some… horse cock? I want to share this post written by The Stranger‘s furry expert, Matt Baume.
Matt’s written about furries for a while for The Stranger. Recently, he wrote about the cat who turned Four Seasons Total Landscaping into a virtual reality hangout for furries. And in September, he chatted with the academics studying the science of furries. We’re not exactly Dogpatch Press, but we like to think we’re committed to the beat. (Tangentially, Matt’s feature about pup play—not exactly furry, but still animal-oriented—is one of our most-read pieces of all time.)
Reader support is what enables The Stranger’s dedicated six-person editorial team to continue bringing you the progressive and humorous journalism that documents our region, everything from breaking local election news to… horse cocks! This year, we’re asking you to give yourself and Seattle the gift of The Stranger. You can even gift it to a friend! Make a contribution in their name, and we’ll send them a personalized thank you note.
Thanks, and enjoy Matt’s post, re-upped below. —Eds. Note
If you doomscroll for long enough through last night’s footage of the police riots in Portland, your eye may settle on a particularly compelling dispatch from outside of an ICE facility. “As Protesters start to trickle out ‘No cock like Horse cock’ plays from the loudspeaker,” tweeted Cascadianphotog Media, with an accompanying video to prove that yes indeed, as cops stood around in their brawly-boy uniforms a loudspeaker blasted them with a song about horse cock.
So what the hell? What’s going on here? Is this some kind of Portland in-joke? Is this the soundtrack to a Charles Mudede film? Is it some kind of youth-oriented meme? Allow me to offer at least something of an explanation.
