I believe that at least one high ranking individual is being paid to wear that avatar, but apparently others are wearing it to promote whatever this represents.
Actually, you've got it backwards. Nearly everyone wearing that avatar is being paid to do so, and only a few have ever worn simply to promote whatever it represents. Even though all it represents is a practical joke that got way out of hand. It's just a friendly jab at those who accuse high-ranking forum members of merit cycling, that's all.Based on the discussion between Foxpup and BayAreaCoins I concluded that Foxpup is a pornographer. Is this true?
Of course it's true. All that porno with my name on it didn't graph itself, after all. 
Is that what's being promoted by the avatar?
While altersex furry pornography isn't outright promoted by my avatar (except on a few special occasions), everyone in the club understands that I have a reputation to maintain and is supportive of my work.After learning this I did notice that the fox in the graphic does look sexualized,
Be honest, did you ever notice a fox that didn't?
