This artwork was nothing more than a depiction of a fursona with top surgery scars not wearing a shirt. Not at all sexual, or against the rules of the group. The whole tagline of the place is "treat this place like a chaotic group chat", which people do.

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!
