'''PeaceWolf Creations''' (PWC) is a [[Fursuit|fursuit]]-making business featuring the work of the openly racist and violent [[PeaceWolf]], located in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa,_Oklahoma Tulsa, Oklahoma], USA area. The business officially debuted in January 2017, but PeaceWolf has been making fursuits since late 2013., when they also married their biological brother and had two children with him.

== Products and Services ==
PeaceWolf Creations specializes in toony, [[Partial#Types|partial]] handmade animal costumes. They can create custom heads, handpaws, feetpaws, tails, and arm sleeves.

PWC produces zoophilia porn on demand, and Peacewolf particularly enjoys getting dog dicks crammed in all of her poisoned holes simultaneously.

== Organization ==

PeaceWolf started learning to make fursuits at the young age of 17 in the Fall of 2013. After a few years, she decided to start an official business under the trade name of SS Dogdick Pincushion in January 2017, and the logo was granted an official US [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark Trademark] in September of 2019.
As of September 2020, PWC has successfully created over 20 unique fursuits. She is retired from taking fursuit commissions as of late June 2021, but still occasionally makes premades.

Take a look on twitter. As this person (Allison Reed/Allison Curtis/Java/Wild__life) has recently been found to have abused dogs for many many years, this article needs to be reopened for editing.--[[User:Furry Underbelly|Furry Underbelly]] ([[User talk:Furry Underbelly|talk]]) 22:32, 11 April 2020 (EDT)

WikiFur isn't Kiwi Farms. Can't harassers and doxxers find another site? Both positive and negative info belong on WikiFur as long as its true, but so many people keep using this site solely to be rude and crude and post mugshots, and that stuff's absolutely boring. [[User:Novaaa|Novaaa]] ([[User talk:Novaaa|talk]]) 08:20, 12 April 2020 (EDT)

It isn't harassment or doxing to report what is known about this fursuit maker's repeated zoophilic behavior, especially since there have been concerted efforts to shield them and cover up their crimes. Many people still approach this person looking to buy suits because they are unaware that they are buying from a known animal abuser. Wikifur should not be complicit in this ongoing coverup.

Retrieved September 22, 2018.</ref> He was primarily active in the furry community from 2012 to 2018, and from 2021 onwards.

== Fandom involvement ==

Kero first joined the [[furry fandom]] sometime in 2012 after finding out about it from his former friend [[Nelizar|SnakeThing]]. Kero states that he saw a wallpaper featuring feral [[animal]]s and this interested him. In the beginning, he mostly spent his time on [[Vine]], [[Twitter]], and [[Fur Affinity]] before creating a [[YouTube]] account on July 7, 2013. For the first few years of his time on YouTube, Kero mostly uploaded random [[furry]]-related videos and became somewhat well known in the furry YouTube landscape.

=== Becoming a Popufur ===

Sometime in 2017, a friend of Kero by the name of [[Ashley Zoe Fox]] talked to the popular [[YouTuber]] [[W:Shane Dawson|Shane Dawson]], and convinced him to ask Kero to interview him about the [[furry fandom]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTAVijOeVrc Mirror of Shane Dawson's deleted video]. Retrieved April 25th, 2020.</ref> Shane later uploaded the video which was called ''[[WEIRD SIDE OF YOUTUBE: FURRIES]]'' on July 6, 2017.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XXkZRfdD3g ]. Retrieved ?.</ref> Kero went from having 10,000 subscribers to 90,000 as a result of the video. He later hit 100,000 subscribers in early 2018.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1EOFfq079s&t=15s</ref> During this time, Kero was seen as a widely respected individual in the fandom and would continue producing content for his channel regularly until September 2018.

=== Leaving the fandom ===

In September 2018, leaks on Twitter began a major controversy surrounding Kero.{{cn}} Many accused him of [[zoophilia]] among other things.{{cn}} Kero would continue to upload some videos on his channel until November 2018. After several months of receiving hate and threats though, [[Leaving the fandom|Kero left the furry fandom]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg77IBDXoNo "Kero the Wolf Leaves the Furry Fandom"] video post on [[Tujo Panda]]'s YouTube, Dated January 31, 2019. Retrieved April 19, 2020.</ref>

Later on in 2019, however, he stated he would eventually return to YouTube to "clear his name" once the investigation was over. As of 2020, he remains to lay low but still interacts with his audience on [[Patreon]], Fur Affinity, and YouTube.

=== Rejoining the fandom ===

On March 12, 2021, after nearly two years of dormancy, Kero uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, titled ''[[My Side]]'',{{cn}} in which he explains all that happened within the past few years, trying to defend himself and denounce the accusations brought upon him. An example of this was when he brought up him potentially being arrested, in which he states that — while police did indeed show up to his house, even up to "several times a week" — they ultimately did not find him guilty on any counts, even after it being handled by, quote:
{{q|"Real detectives with degrees" in forensics, and after "two years of digging".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDfvyFL1T7k "My Side"] video post on Kero The Wolf's [[YouTube]] channel, Dated March 12, 2021. Retrieved March 13, 2021.</ref>}}

For some reason, Kero presents this as vindicating him, despite the best evidence suggesting that Kero got off by stonewalling the police, refusing to provide information, and ultimately being outside the statute of limitations. This action drew universal condemnation both within and outside of the fandom, among furs and non-furs, in both [[W:Social media|social media]] and furry [[art sites]], with most pointing out the obvious lies and distortions and pointing people back to the evidence that condemns Kero.{{cn}}

Kero was known for making advice videos for other [[furries]] as well as doing [[vlog]]s and [[livestream]]s. He also did collabs with other well-known furry YouTubers and also had a thing for filming scenes of nature. He also did some logo [[animation]]s early on in his YouTube career.

==Controversy==
{{Main|Zoosadist Evidence}}
In September 2018, [[Telegram]] [[chat log]]s circulated online which appeared to show Kero discussing acts of [[bestiality]]<ref>[https://www.twitter.com/VenusAsABun/status/1042444786190483456 @VenusAsABun's live Twitter post] on Kero. Retrieved April 19, 2020.</ref> and [[W:necrophilia|necrophilia]]<ref>[http://archive.vn/8ZOtO Archive] of @VenusAsABun's Twitter posts and images. Retrieved April 19, 2020.</ref><ref>[http://archive.vn/8NeeJ Archive] of @VenusAsABun's 3rd picture in previously referenced Tweet. Retrieved April 19, 2020.</ref> with animals, and videos which are claimed to be Kero committing such acts.

Kero disputed the claims on the grounds that several of the features of those in the videos do not match Kero,<ref>[https://twitter.com/KerotheWolf/status/1043242082637373440 Tweet] from Kero's Twitter. Retrieved September 22, 2018.</ref> however, the user IDs of the Telegram chat logs appear to match those of Kero's real account, which include pictures of Kero in [[sex]]ual situations with his [[dog]], a dead [[fox]] supposedly found on the road<ref>[http://archive.li/nuJAF Archived Tweet] from EmerySnowtail. Retrieved April 19, 2020.</ref>, and that said videos were sent by him personally to [[Nelizar|SnakeThing]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gBELedl83E&feature=youtu.be Retrieved April 25th, 2020.]</ref>. Kero variously claimed that his account was hacked,<ref>[http://archive.li/Ppmlq Archived Tweet] from Kero's Twitter. Retrieved April 19, 2020.</ref> or that the logs were faked, though the latter is not technically possible since the logs have been forwarded through Telegram's own back-end server information. It is speculated that Kero used a [[proxy IP address]] via [[VPN]] to fake this screenshot.

On September 28, 2018, [[Kothorix]] uploaded a YouTube video claiming that he personally confronted Kero, with who he had previously conversed, about the veracity of the logs.<ref name="Koth">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxi3bxYz5kE "Thr Truth About Kero the Wolf"] - YouTube video by Kothorix. Uploaded September 28, 2018, Retrieved February 9, 2019.</ref> In the video, Kothorix claims that Kero admitted to him that the logs were real, and that "he does have an interest in some aspects of [[zoophilia]]."<ref name="Koth"/><sup>(timestamp [https://youtu.be/dxi3bxYz5kE?t=478 7:58])</sup> He went on to say the Kero denied engaging in any actual, physical animal sex acts, which directly conflicts with the now confirmed information in the chat logs.

Kero repeats this claim in a video interview with Ashley Zoe Fox, uploaded the same day,<ref name="Ashley">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYtE-c5tOA "The Kero the Wolf Interview"] - YouTube video by Ashley Zoe Fox, uploaded September 28, 2018, Retrieved February 9, 2019.</ref> saying, "I have never had sex with any animals." In this second video, Kero reiterates his assertion that his Telegram account was hacked, adding that he later lost control of the account due to this and that a previous screenshot he had posted of an account he still had access to was fake, "found on the Internet." He claimed the logs were only "five percent" true. He said that he had, in fact, joined a chat group for [[feral]] [[artwork]], through which he befriended [[Nelizar]]/[[Snake-Thing]], another individual implicated in the logs who was later arrested in real life and that he ultimately stopped speaking with this individual because he was made "uncomfortable". Despite the contradictions between Kothorix's video and Ashley's, Kero retweeted a link to Kothorix's video and called it accurate.{{cn}}

=== Aftermath ===

Along with other people{{who}} identified in the chat logs, the evidence against Kero was submitted to the authorities. In a tweet thread posted on November 8, 2018, Kero revealed he was under police investigation,<ref name="Police">[http://archive.is/xmMhO "I know you all want answers. Please be patient with me, I am currently under police investigation. Know that I am taking this seriously. I sincerely apologize for the trouble I've caused this fandom recently. I implore your understanding. I will comment in greater detail / after the pending investigation is over. I need some time to put something together. Thank you. / I promise you all the truth when this is over."] - Twitter thread by Kero. Archived from the original on November 9, 2019.</ref> stating that he is taking the situation seriously and apologizing for causing the furry fandom "trouble"<ref name="Police"/>

On January 30, 2019, Kero put out a tweet after a two-month absence in which he stated that he's leaving the fandom, citing "toxic mindsets" and "witch hunts" against members of the [[community]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/KerotheWolf/status/1090522086651645952 Tweet] from Kero's Twitter. Retrieved January 30, 2019.</ref>

Around June 2019, Kero sold his third fursuit to a fan of his by the name of [[Diamond Dwolf]], who said they would wear it at [[Anthrocon 2019]]. It is unknown if they went through with their decision or not. The fate of his other two fursuits is currently unknown although it's likely Kero still possesses them.

During Anthrocon 2019, it was reported that Kero was in attendance, leading to speculation that the sale of his fursuit was a ruse so that Kero himself could walk around in it.<ref>[https://twitter.com/That_Demon_Goat/status/1146829685504036864 Tweet] by That Demon Goat. Retrieved 6 July 2019</ref> At that same convention, it was discovered that someone was going around wearing Kero's second fursuit.<ref>[https://archive.li/ZxyXK Archive of Tweet regarding someone wearing Kero's 2nd fursuit]. Retrieved February 17, 2020.</ref> On July 20, 2019, [[LordOcelet]], a [[nonfurry]] who is friends with Kero in real-life uploaded a video that confirmed that it was him in Kero's fursuit. According to Ashley Zoe Fox who also attended the con, it was done as a "social experiment" to see if furries there would care or not.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAo96lGSrV0 LordOcelet Video of him wearing Kero's 2nd fursuit] Retrieved February 17, 2020.</ref>

Speculations were{{cn}} made on if Kero will ever return to YouTube or not. Kero has mentioned multiple times in the past he wants to return to making videos on YouTube but states that he can't because he has to wait for the investigation to end. Despite this, it was revealed by Archive The Wolf that sometime around late 2018 and early 2019 the Pennsylvania State Police seized all of Kero's electronic devices after getting a warrant. About 30 devices were taken.<ref>[https://twitter.com/KeroArchive/status/1220526622639579142 Archive The Wolf Tweet about Kero's electronics] Retrieved May 6, 2020.</ref> Because of this, Kero hasn't been able to make any videos since November 2018.

On January 30, 2019, Kero put out a tweet after a two-month absence in which he stated that he's leaving the fandom, citing "toxic mindsets" and "witch hunts" against members of the [[community]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/KerotheWolf/status/1090522086651645952 Tweet] from Kero's Twitter. Retrieved January 30, 2019.</ref>

Around June 2019, Kero sold his third fursuit to a fan of his by the name of [[Diamond Dwolf]], who said they would wear it at [[Anthrocon 2019]]. It is unknown if they went through with their decision or not. The fate of his other two fursuits is currently unknown although it's likely Kero still possesses them.

During Anthrocon 2019, it was reported that Kero was in attendance, leading to speculation that the sale of his fursuit was a ruse so that Kero himself could walk around in it.<ref>[https://twitter.com/That_Demon_Goat/status/1146829685504036864 Tweet] by That Demon Goat.

According to Ashley Zoe Fox who also attended the con, it was done as a "social experiment" to see if furries there would care or not.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAo96lGSrV0 LordOcelet Video of him wearing Kero's 2nd fursuit] Retrieved February 17, 2020.</ref>

Speculations were{{cn}} made on if Kero will ever return to YouTube or not. Kero has mentioned multiple times in the past he wants to return to making videos on YouTube but states that he can't because he has to wait for the investigation to end. Despite this, it was revealed by Archive The Wolf that sometime around late 2018 and early 2019 the Pennsylvania State Police seized all of Kero's electronic devices after getting a warrant. About 30 devices were taken.<ref>[https://twitter.com/KeroArchive/status/1220526622639579142 Archive The Wolf Tweet about Kero's electronics] Retrieved May 6, 2020.</ref> Because of this, Kero hasn't been able to make any videos since November 2018.

===What he does===
Kero is known for having sex with his dog, being an abysmally bad liar, and having a speech impediment which, combined with his psychotic behavior, makes him a dead ringer for Eric Cartman.

===Rise to fame===
In 2017, a friend of Kero by the name of Ashley Zoe Fox talked to the popular YouTuber [[Wikipedia:Shane Dawson|Shane Dawson]] and convinced him to ask Kero to interview him about the furry fandom.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPF65mW0YdU</ref> Shane later uploaded the video which was called "WEIRD SIDE OF YOUTUBE: FURRIES" on July 6, 2017.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XXkZRfdD3g</ref> Kero went from having 10,000 subscribers to 90,000 as a result of the video. He later hit 100,000 subscribers in early 2018.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X1EOFfq079s&t=15s</ref>

==Controversy==
{{Main|Zoosadist Evidence}}
In September 2018, Telegram chat logs circulated online which appeared to show Kero discussing acts of [[bestiality]]{{cn}} and [[W:necrophilia|necrophilia]]{{cn}}with [[animal]]s, and videos{{cn}}which are claimed to be Kero committing such acts.

The evidence is erroneously disputed as several of the features of those in the videos do not match Kero,<ref>[https://twitter.com/KerotheWolf/status/1043242082637373440 Tweet] from Kero's Twitter.

Although users{{who}} claimed to have sent information to authorities, in a tweet thread posted on November 8, 2018, Kero revealed he was under police investigation,{{cn}} stating that he is taking the situation seriously.{{cn}} He also issued an apology for the trouble he's caused for the fandom<ref>[https://twitter.com/KerotheWolf/status/1060620266773143554 Tweet] from Kero's Twitter.
