Related Explainer: Who Is 'Cybersmith' A.K.A. The 'Human Pet Guy'? The Niche Internet Lolcow Explained


Overview

Cybersmith, also known as Human Pet Guy, is an internet personality and Lolcow primarily known for his views on "human pets." Cybersmith first went viral for a 2017 Tumblr post in which he defended his hat against accusations of it being a fedora and then segued into a hypothetical proposing that having a forcibly disabled "human pet" would not infringe on other people's liberties. Cybersmith's presence on X led to several users unknowingly sharing his selfies and learning about his internet history, gaining him renewed significance in August 2023.

Online History

2017 Tumblr Virality

On October 17th, 2017, Tumblr[1] user unclefather made a text post that read, "me wearing a dog collar and leash looking up at my manfriend in his trench coat and fedora: let’s go out in public where you can walk me like I’m a dog in front of people who are visibly uncomfortable," to which Tumblr user @thecybersmith responded, "IT’S NOT A FL*PPING FEDORA, IT’S A BOWLER HAT!!!!!!!"

The thread subsequently led to @thecybersmith describing a hypothetical scenario in which he brings a forcibly disabled "human pet" into a restaurant, insisting that doing so would not, hypothetically, infringe on anyone else's personal liberties. He also proposed that opposing such a hypothetical pet would be irrationally prejudiced. The post gathered over 45,000 notes in six years (seen below).

A fedora is a fedora is a fedora. thecybersmith Anyway, with regards to the original post, what would actually be wrong with that? There's no mention of public nudity, nor of treating the human pet in a way that would be considered strange for a dog. Should people be obliged to modify their behaviour so that the irrationally prejudicial do not experience discomfort? an-average-sized-person "Irrationally prejudiced" m----------- admit you have a petplay fetish. there's no shame in it on this website.
thecybersmith Okay... just please consider the following scenario. It's five to ten years from now. You're sitting in a restaurant, enjoying a lovely meal, when I walk in, accompanied by my wife, my children, and my human pet (whose genitals are covered as it enters on all fours and is wearing underpants). If my family and I then make an order of our own at the table next to you, in what way have we infringed upon your freedom? What rational basis do you have to demand that we leave or beloved pet at home? H*ck it all, let's consider a more extreme scenario. It's five to ten years from now. You're sitting in a restaurant, enjoying a lovely meal, when I walk in, without my wife and children (for whatever reason, they haven't accompanied me), with my surgically modified human pet (wearing a collar) being lead in by it's leash. My pet has been spayed/neutered (though you can't tell because its genitals - along with its boobies if its a female- have been covered up), it has no vocal chords, and it walks on all fours not by choice, but because its toes have been removed, along with the tendons in its ankles being severed (it may also have had its thumbs and the last two segments of each finger amputated, making it easier to care for -no fingernails to trim-). Perhaps I've even (humanely) removed its eyes, making it less independent. Even in this scenario, I haven't infringed upon your liberties. "Irrationally prejudiced" is precisely what you are.

The Tumblr[16] page @thecybersmith has since been deleted, with the user posting on the account @the-cybersmith as of August 2023.

The text post was screenshotted and shared to various subreddits in subsequent years, including /r/insanepeoplefacebook,[2] /r/tumblr.[3] The thread was also shared on the Tumblr[5] blog @mosticonicposts in 2020.

On December 12th, 2017, Redditor /u/SharkLordSatan posted a screenshot from @thecybersmith's Tumblr blog to /r/iamverysmart where he says that despite his best efforts to "impregnate" Tumblr with the "seeds of his wisdom," the "womb" of Tumblr had "swollen only with out-of-context mockeries" of his person. He adds that he finds the "uterus of the internet barren." The post gathered over 2000 notes before @thecybersmith's account was deleted (seen below).[6][7]

On December 28th, 2018, Redditor[8] /u/KyubeyTheSpaceFerret posted a screenshot of another Tumblr post by @thecybersmith in which he discusses the efficacy of spears versus ammunition with another internet user (seen below).

It's better to just use an actual automatic firearm, or a spear (a skilled spearman can launch a swift volley of thrusts too quickly to be easily parried).

2023 X Virality

On August 10th, 2023, X user @I_Am_CyberSmith engaged in internet discourse with X user @SAMOYEDCORE, a rapport initiated by Cybersmith insisting that the minority-white ruled apartheid state of Rhodesia was "awesome, though."[4] @SAMOYEDCORE went on to note Cybersmith's infamy on certain parts of the internet (seen below, left).[9] @SAMOYEDCORE also posted a screenshot of Cybersmith asking them "What is your problem?"
