That's not the same thing as CP. Which is weird still but was there proof of it actually being CP or just drawings? Either way it's very strange to include that in a web browser code. * permalink * embed * save * report * reply [-]Exiledrose6084[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 hour ago* (0 children) He had furry porn as well?
