Hopefully final update (7/16/24)
Jess is coming back to twitter despite several, if not dozens, of people’s advice for her to log off social media either permanently or for at least a very long time. Keep in mind this document was created about 3 months ago, and Jess’s “internet breaks” are either incredibly brief or nonexistent.
I am sick of Jess’s behavior. This person sent me death threats–told me to commit SUICIDE as someone who they know seriously attempted to kill myself just last year. Why? Because I didn’t want to have sex with her.
She used my history of being falsely accused by a bigger creator as fodder to gain my trust–she had cut me off in 2019 due to these allegations, and once she befriended me again, tried to get closer to me by suddenly messaging me about it as “an apology.” I see right through something like this, knowing the full context. This is manipulation.
Jess, if you are reading this (you likely are, due to your addictive personality) please for the love of god get off social media, and do not contact me or my friends.

UPDATE AS I WAS PREPARING THIS DOCUMENT
Joey has now DM’ed me threatening to take his life, guilt tripping me, and saying “I hope you’re happy” and threatening suicide publicly on his NSFW, blaming me.
A person I will keep anonymous has confirmed Joey had feelings for me, which he denied in his initial response thread. He was trying to get this person to defend him publicly.
Preface/context (Charlie:)
Hi, my name is Charlie, and I go by bonsaipuppies on most handles if you need to contact me. I am creating this document as an archive of multiple testimonies not only from myself, but others affected by this individual. The person in question is a fairly popular and active user in the furry community, known as JoeyCoyFox / Naughtycoyfox (NSFW) / Joey_Coyfox (temp alt after suspension). Joey uses he/they pronouns.
To be clear: I do not consider Joey to necessarily be a dangerous/violent individual who will commit any sort of crime, however, it is clear that he has a pattern of behavior that makes other people uncomfortable and he needs to learn that it is not okay, and that he needs to spend less time online.
I believe he needs to be held accountable for this, or else he will continue this pattern and end up in a downward spiral. I know I’ve been harsh in my responses at points, but honestly, I am mostly just concerned that this appears to be so prevalent for him, and I think it needs to be directly laid out for him in order to change in a positive direction.
I am aware that Joey is autistic. I am also neurodivergent, and I know this can get in the way of communication sometimes. If it were a one-time mistake of misreading a social cue, I get it. But spamming people in DMs for days on end when they are either busy/clearly disinterested, and pushing fetishes onto strangers, in multiple instances with multiple people, AND stalking/block evading users for years, cannot be excused with neurodivergency.
Joey is 23 years old, a whole adult. I am also turning 23 this year. I used to excuse my negative habits using mental illness as a shield, but there is a point where you NEED to take responsibility. This kind of behavior needs to stop, regardless of autism/trauma/mental illness.
I am not making this document to gain “attention/clout.” I am not someone who focuses on having a large following, in fact, I generally prefer to have a smaller audience. I am making this for the previous reasons specified. When I made my initial post, I did not expect it to gain traction at all, and I wanted to provide more elaboration/context that couldn’t fit in twitter’s word limit. I also wanted it to be collected all in one place for accessibility reasons, in case someone was uninformed and needed an easy way to gather context.
TL;DR:
Joeycoyfox has a pattern of making people uncomfortable with either romantic/sexual advances, asking random strangers for free “somno” fetish artwork, or generally being pushy and constantly engaging in discourse. This behavior is unhealthy, and I hope these testimonies are a wake-up call for him to change.
(CHARLIE) A summary of my experience:
I am unsure when I first started interacting with Joey, however, it was probably around 2018-19. This is because we were mutuals who never had a back-and-forth conversation but he cut me off around 2019 due to a serious public situation I was involved in regarding false accusations at the time.
Once things were settled with that incident and I was proven innocent, Joey refollowed me at some point earlier this year, I believe. I recognized his handle, so I refollowed him despite not being super close. At least, this is what I remember occurring, however I didn’t really keep note of it because I didn’t think it was anything worth remembering. Keep in mind I have memory loss issues as a result of heavy ECT sessions, but basically the gist is that we were distant mutuals at a point, he cut me off for a while, and later we casually reconnected.
I had started posting selfies more frequently again on my main after a long period of avoiding it due to having gained weight over time and I was struggling with self-confidence issues. I didn’t screenshot the incident at the time, but on one of my selfies he had replied something like “DAMN, YOU’RE HANDSOME” and I saw it in my notifications. I was too busy to reply immediately, but saw that he later deleted the reply “out of nervousness” (his exact words from his response summarizing all this, which has been deleted) and re-reposted it later.
Joey’s account has been suspended, so I was not able to gather DMs of the whole picture, but basically what happened after this is that he DMed me a picture of his face completely unprompted. I didn’t know what to say, so I just replied “epic!” and he started up a conversation about our heritage. I talked about some of my family history (I am Indian and he’s of Indian descent) and the conversation naturally ended.
Later, he started to publicly tweet @/ing me & promo’ing me. I didn’t think anything weird of it at first, but then he began to DM me unprompted very frequently, even if I didn’t respond, for days. I shared this with a couple close friends because I didn’t know what to make of it. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions since I was aware of his autism, but I was wary, because I have a history of men frequently DM’ing me pre-transition with ill intentions. The people I opened up to agreed that it was strange.
You will notice that my responses I did capture are pretty distant and short. I was uncomfortable, and he kept pushing. It’s odd, because we weren’t really super close before we temporarily cut contact. I would just “heart” his messages because I didn’t know how to respond.
Later, I saw that he tweeted about “boypussy and girldick” on his NSFW alt during this period of DM spamming. This is what sent me over the edge, as it felt objectifying even if it wasn’t entirely direct. This is where I decided to block Joey.
I blocked Joey everywhere, but forgot to block him on Instagram. I softblocked his NSFW from my locked twitter. He took this opportunity to DM me on IG asking what he did wrong, and re-request my locked on his NSFW, almost immediately.
I snapped. I tried to be as clear as possible that I was not interested in forming any kind of relationship with him. Please note that although he didn’t directly confirm these advances were of romantic/sexual intent in his response, he did not DENY it either.
At this point, I feel like it could be argued that his intentions were some sort of grey area. To be entirely clear, he deactivated his main and vent tweeted on his NSFW about being single right after I rejected and blocked him. This, added with the fact he didn’t deny these intentions, are enough for me to believe he was trying to pursue me. I feel like this is also supported with the fact that the next testimony states he sent his face, something he rarely does, to someone he directly stated he wanted to form a relationship with.
Pretty much directly after I blocked him completely, Joey started to publicly promote and frequently post about another user, who also happened to be FTM. I felt like he was doing the same exact thing with them that he did with me. I contacted this person through DMs out of concern, and they provided screenshots of Joey asking them if they could date via twitter, and also sending a picture of his face unsolicited.
Considering he rarely sends people his face, and he did this seemingly only with me and this person he admittedly confessed interest in, I do not buy that he did not have any kind of romantic or sexual intentions with me like he claimed.
Testimony from Fossilious
Hello my name is Mason or Fossilious, I have been friends with Joey since maybe I first joined Twitter? When I was minding my own business,Joey came in DMs confessing to me, and I didn’t know what to do about it and I kind of rejected him but I said we can get to know each other if my feelings grow since I was in a heartbreak and I didn’t want to hurt his feelings cause he was my friend and he was already added in discord so we dmed. During the conversations in DMs he sent his face unsolicited and I felt uncomfortable. I try to be respectful about it and trying to change the topic.Then he spam promoted me and (Charlie blocked Joey way before he dmed me his confession idk when Charlie blocked Joey and this is what I assume) Charlie dmed me about how Joey was making Charlie uncomfortable. At first I was kind of neutral about the situation and [after Charlie blocked Joey, Joey immediately went to my DMs confessing to me] of what Charlie told me and I learned this was outright creepy, and seeing many people affected leading me to block Joey on all of my socials. Actions speak louder than words that most people told me
ADDED EDIT (7:50 PM PST / MARCH 20)
Another person (Jasper) has come forward to me privately with testimony of Joey making uncomfortable advances, and asking this person to log into Joey’s account to defend them on Joey’s behalf, giving them his login info.
Testimonies from others:
NOTE: For some of these, the implications aren’t incredibly horribly malicious. I just wanted to make a point that others can attest to his strange behavior, and I am not the only one who has felt uncomfortable around him, in multiple contexts. When these actions are happening so frequently, I don’t think it should be considered a one-time small mistake. It’s more of a culmination of situations rather than a singular miscommunication.
From what it seems, he seems to keep tabs on who unfollows him or soft blocks him, possibly with a tracker of some sort because of how quick he messages said person about it. This behavior is incredibly unhealthy, not just for him, but for anyone, and I highly discourage it.
