Video reuploaded to "Old Fredryk Phox Videos" Youtube channel on August 1st 2017 featuring afoxinspace / vascularspasm / Matthew Gafford doing a music video with "2 the Ranting Gryphon" Matthew Wayne Davis, notorious alt-right shithead and guest of honor at "Free Fur All", the MAGA furry convention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNpXlkeaS84 More about 2gryphon's alt-right descent: https://dogpatch.press/2017/03/20/disgrace-of-a-furry-celebrity/ Added on 5/6/26 (and now arranged in chronological order), so Gafford wouldn't have seen this in the thread originally, but it's another explicitly alt-right public figure he's associated with besides Reagan Lodge.

Gift art for Fredryk Fox / Matthew Gafford drawn by sulacoyote / Reagan Lodge from "a few years ago", posted to FurAffinity on September 12, 2007. Reagan Lodge was later revealed to be an active member on neo-nazi terror forum Iron March while he was an active duty marine, up until the forum was shut down in 2017 and its database was leaked in 2020 by Jewish Worker. https://ironmarch.noblogs.org/post/2020/02/01/meet-reagan-lodge-former-marine-fascist-illustrator-and-member-of-neo-nazi-iron-march-forums/ archive: https://archive.is/8fTuG Gafford and Lodge have remained friends to this day despite reagan's continued efforts to promote other fascists, and Gafford has continued financially supporting Lodge via Twitch and Patreon in more examples below.

Matthew Gafford / Fredryk Phox / A Fox In Space / vascularspasm went on Doug TenNapel's podcast in October 2018 along with Reagan Lodge / reaganlodge / sulacoyote. Reagan Lodge had been an active member on neo-nazi terror forum Iron March while he was an active duty marine up until the forum was shut down a year prior in 2017. Gafford and Lodge had been friends for many years before this podcast, and continued being public friends & promoting each other's work long after Lodge was publicly outed as a neo-nazi in 2020, when Iron March's databases were leaked. https://ironmarch.noblogs.org/post/2020/02/01/meet-reagan-lodge-former-marine-fascist-illustrator-and-member-of-neo-nazi-iron-march-forums/ archive of Iron March exposed article: https://archive.is/8fTuG More screencaps of reaganlodge's public right-wing posts: https://imgur.com/a/reaganlodge-reagan-lodge-gingertoast-sulacoyote-coyorean-stalhjelm-plowshares-QJHZFrA timeline of reaganlodge's promotion of fascism from 2007-2025: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R2XlzlqtLVxrEAEyF1ndKDk9vl3XlsIiAb_9w4Rskdc/edit?usp=sharing Doug Tennapel had already begun his alt-right turn longer before this podcast episode (and even before the term "alt-right" was coined.) Doug was notorious at this point for constantly attacking gay marriage and gay rights on Twitter, insisting “white Christian males are the REAL victims here," shit like that. - In 2009 Tennapel made numerous contributions to white nationalist & right-wing publication Breitbart https://web.archive.org/web/20170915111333/http://www.breitbart.com/author/doug-tennapel - 2011 interview where Tennapel defends his anti-gay marriage stance https://www.popzara.com/games/game-features/popzara-interviews-ratfist-and-earthworm-jim-creator-doug-tennapel/ - 2013 - in which Doug complains at length about conservatives being censored https://web.archive.org/web/20130623004845/http://gameological.com/2013/06/foc-tennapel-armikrog/ - 2014 - an example of a common Twitter exchange with Doug from 2014 always working in transphobia https://twitter.com/bobservo/status/339820493496528896 - in 2017, Tennapel attacked a trans journalist for daring to criticize his work by siccing his transphobic following on her to misgender her: https://web.archive.org/web/20170831002659/https://news.avclub.com/earthworm-jim-creator-pops-up-to-remind-twitter-of-his-1798264741 - A September 2018 interview (just a few weeks before this podcast was recorded) where Tennapel defends Comicsgate https://bleedingfool.com/interviews/doug-tennapel-chats-bigfoot-bill-comicsgate-unifying-comics-culture/ Doug had inserted himself into Comicsgate as one of the movement's higher-profile participants, encouraging harassment of queer and POC artists in the comics industry and community. (Reagan Lodge also participated in Comicsgate, probably how they found each other.) Basically by 2018 Doug had already annihilated the goodwill he enjoyed as the creator of Earthworm Jim / Sockbaby, but was eager to use his remaining visibility to boost other far-right bigots. Doug had Reagan Lodge on his podcast frequently before and after the episode with Matthew Gafford, calling Lodge "one of my all time favorite artists", unsurprising given their shared far-right christian nationalism and stated commitment to promoting evangelicalism with their comics.
