After user Tofu_Civet on twitter told Firestorm to not wear his war bonnet on his fursuit, due to it being racist to Native American peoples and cultural appropriation, he replied by doxxing the girl and her mother by posting a photo of both their faces and Tofu’s full name. He then continued to slander, harass, and go on a rampage of slurs and anti “wokeness”. He then blocked her. That is the abridged version, the most of it is in this google doc [https://docs.google.com/document/d/112PGn3djXSyZ81ZNysv6XYL-7wszut5m3SXNgg90jRU/edit [Google doc<nowiki>]</nowiki>]

Biography[edit]

Part of FirestormSix's ancestry derives from the Canadian First Nations (French: Premières Nations), specifically the Cree/Nēhiyaw tribe, with some European ancestry.[citation needed]

Fandom involvement[edit]

FirestormSix has been a member of the furry community since 2000, specially the Ontario Furs, and was a guest of honor at Anthrofest 2006, Furnal Equinox 2011, Midwest FurFest 2012, and Motor City Furry Con 2014 on the Americas, and FurWanted 2014 in Germany.

Fursuit crafting[edit]

In 2008/2009, FirestormSix ventured from the two-dimensional world of art into the three-dimensional world of fursuit construction, with his first fursuit being Dakkota Wolf (based off the Native Indian Timber Wolf from his past artworks, family ancestry, and second-previous generation family heritage), which was displayed at Midwest FurFest 2008.

He founded Fursuit And Costume Construction Business Ssc (Stormfire Studios Costumes or SSC) in,[when?] and it is in the "top 8 fursuit builders of the furry community"[citation needed] today based on demand and fursuit builder statistics.[clarify]

Fur Park[edit]

Fur Park is a furry South Park parody created by Firestorm Six. The original 3' x 4' FurPark poster, consists of 37 furry characters drawn in the South Park style, it quickly became a hit[citation needed] back in 2001 when it was first introduced.

Several Solo Fur Park commissions were done afterward, including the short animated Fur Park cartoon clip, Max's Coffee Fit, and a downloadable Fur Park screensaver.[citation needed]

Controversy[edit]

On November 29, 2023, Tofu Civet, an Native American fursuiter from the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, engaged in an argument with FirestormSix about the perceived "improper" ("offensive") use of a War bonnet (also known as a warbonnets or headdresses, a feathered headgear traditionally worn by male Indian of the North Americas) in one of his fursuits, even with him being Indo-Canadian.

FirestormSix' response to the accusation was explosive and ended with FirestormSix retrieving and posting Tofu's (Doxxing) real-life info online,[1] which he accused Tofu of actually doing first.[citation needed]

This personal matter between both parties has yet to be resolved.
