We made it to conservative talk radio, and they accurately reported on our radical centrism! 1m40s excerpt of them discussing the DramaFur Happening linked in title. DIY transcript below.
After discussing our role in the hoax, Glenn Beck proceeds to teach his normie audience about furries, including lots of furry statistics. 19m31s extended excerpt, most ads and other discussion removed.
Full episode "Elon Musk vs. the World | Guests: Rob Collins & Riaz Patel | 4/27/22" available here.
h/t to @Sherman_March for finding this. His post got buried, so I figured I'd repost with the excerpt and transcript to chronicle this momentous occasion.
Glenn: So, Stu, there was a story, and I want to see if you have much on this. There was a story from Austin, where a second-grade teacher at a public school district was teaching students about the subculture of furries. Okay? [chuckles] [Stu: hah, yeah, mhm] Alright, okay, so the parents have found out through flyers their second-graders at the Austin Independent School District learned about youth subcultures, from goths to furries and many more. This is happening during the second week of April. One worksheet was titled 'Design your Fursona' [Stu chuckles], and students were asked if their fursona were male, female, or non-binary. Now, Austin ISD said this isn't in their curriculum; they have no information on it.
Stu: Right.
Glenn: Is this true?
Stu: It does seem to be false, actually, this one. There is a [protracted 'uhhh'] former reddit community that like, basically, tries to hoax the media and come out withโ I think it's called arr-drama, like they want to create drama, basically, so they made false flyers.
Glenn: So this would be fake news?
Stu: This seems to be fake news.
Glenn: From the left? Or from the right?
Stu: I don't know ifโ I don't know if they have an ideology or if they just like to create drama, but it does seem like some of this is not true. [Glenn: Okay, soโ] Which is, I guess, doesn't mean that we haven't seen this exact type of thing in twenty other places [Glenn: Yeah, butโ that's good, that's good], but this particular flyerโ
Glenn: But, I want you to know I looked into furries. [Stu: You did?] Yeah.
[continues for 15min sneering at furries, decently amusing for talk radio. ads at the end feature furry-themed jokes.]
Quote toward end: "I'm gonna take off my bunny costume now." โGlenn Beck, confirmed lagomorph

Yeah it's from before my time. It's part of that nerd culture that existed before 1995, and then when the internet was suddenly opened to normies that was the first thing you saw. There was a time when it still flourished, but by the time smartphones came out it was completely dead.

This is about as close as anyone has come to acknowledging our radical centrism though.

Radical centrism does also have a sprinkle of anti-wingcuckery in it which is absolutely essential.
