The man charged with killing Charlie Kirk played a pornographic online game called ‘Furry Shades of Gay’ and followed artists who drew explicit cartoons associated with pedophilia.
Tyler Robinson, 22, was arraigned on seven charges on Tuesday including murder and witness tampering for allegedly shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk at the Utah Valley University campus last week.
Robinson’s online accounts, uncovered by the Daily Mail, show the alleged assassin had an interest in gay porn involving humanoid animal characters called ‘furries’.
An account linked to Robinson on gaming platform Steam shows he downloaded and played a dating simulator game called ‘Furry Shades of Gay’.
The game describes itself as being about ‘love, queer relationships, hot gay sex and slapstick humor.’
‘Get ready for 24 hot animated voiced sex scenes!’ a December 2020 profile for the game says on Steam.
Robinson played Furry Shades of Gay enough to earn a prize: an ‘uncommon sticker’ of one of its cat-human characters who dresses as a French maid, listed on his Steam account.
Robinson used the account name ‘craftin247’ on various videogaming and online accounts, his friends told the Daily Mail.

There is an account by that name on FurAffinity.com, a website for people with a proclivity for humanoid animal illustrations and dressing up in fur suits, who call themselves ‘furries’.
Last week, Craftin247’s account on FurAffinity said he had ‘recently watched’ content created by a user called RedRusker – an artist known for gay furry porn.
But RedRusker went too far even for the furries.
In 2023, he was embroiled in a scandal among the niche community when underage porn cartoons he had drawn resurfaced.
One depicted a large older humanoid animal using recreational drugs to have sex with a small, younger humanoid possum called Snack, labeled as being ‘age 8’ in the depraved comic.
A redacted image viewed by the Daily Mail shows one older character saying to another ‘popper him up for me, it’ll help’, apparently referring to giving drugs to the eight-year-old possum character.
Furries call the pedophilia-related content ‘cub’ porn.
In a May 2023 post on FurAffinity, RedRusker admitted there was ‘art I made that depicted underage characters’ and ‘there are about a dozen or so pieces in total.’

Friends of Robinson told Daily Mail that he uses Craftin247 as his username on multiple platforms – that same tag was found on FurAffinity.com, a website for people who identify as furries
In his recent watched content, controversial furry porn artist RedRusker was found. This creator was heavily scrutinized when underage porn cartoons he had drawn resurfaced
One depicted an older furry using the recreational drug poppers to have sex with a humanoid possum called Snack, labeled as being ‘age 8’ in the twisted and depraved comic
He said he ‘felt guilty as f*** about it and wanted to accept responsibility’ and added ‘I won’t draw it again’.
RedRusker’s more recent porn cartoons posted on his Patreon, including pieces dated in 2024, still depict large humanoid animal characters having sex with much smaller, boyish-looking characters.
One sickening picture depicts a dog-character performing a sex act on a horse.
Robinson also appeared to be friends with another porn artist making ‘deviant’ cartoons of absurdly fat women being fed.
The Steam account linked to Robinson lists the user ‘Obure’ among its friends.
Robinson left a comment on Obure’s Steam profile in January 2024, writing ‘he beats me when mom goes on her work trips’, with punctuation resembling a crying emoji.
Obure’s profile contains several cartoon furries and says the user is from Minnesota. Obure has also used the name ‘Good Boy’ on the account.
A previous profile picture on Obure’s Steam account is a photo of a young man wearing cat ears and a face mask with a cat mouth and whiskers printed on it. It is unclear if this is Obure.
This underage furry art is known as ‘cub art’. When the backlash came for RedRusker, they admitted they had drawn a dozen of these and said he wouldn’t draw them again
Obure’s username is linked to a DeviantArt account called SirEdwardThe3rd, which features feederism-themed content, including comics depicting women engaging in extreme acts of consumption like eating other people whole
Gaming platform Bungie also lists a user called Obure, linked to the Obure Steam account, and to an Xbox account called SirEdwardThe3rd.
SirEdwardThe3rd makes cartoons on website Deviant Art, including sexualized comics depicting women with horrifically overproportioned bellies two or three times the size of the rest of their bodies, asking to be fed.
Some of the comics feature women who have eaten other people whole like a python.
SirEdwardThe3rd has made 587 works on the site over six years and has had 1.3million profile views.
