What's your take on this Tony the Tiger Fiasco?

What's your take on this Tony the Tiger Twitter Fiasco going on right now? Do furries ruin everything? Has the fandom gotten too pervy and sexualized? Or are things just getting blown out of proportion?
However, there is such a thing as decorum and etiquette. When in public, there are things that are not courteous, and being overly sexual with someone, especially when there's a real and non-consenting person behind it, is one of those things we don't do. Masturbating to thoughts or pictures of Tony the Tiger: A-okay, everybody has their equivalent of this (whether they admit to it or not) and it's not a bad thing. Harassing the person who happens to manage the mascot's Twitter account, not so much. Posting sexual content without even an attempt to minimize exposure to minors...I think I don't need to address the legality of that.
hilarious
Though it is pretty funny. I almost fell off my chair laughing!

That's a pretty fair reaction gif of my take on it!
I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the fire!
Kellogs could have played it cool, People could not have taken Tony porn to his page.
But people did it for the lulz, Kellogs didn't take it cool, cuz that joke could mess their reputation.
And furries laugh it away cuz "the community is doomed" is a running gag. It saddens me that
people wear it like a badge. I look at Zootopia, i get worried it goes too far on any side.

I think it's stupid to tell the PR twitter account of a cartoon cereal mascot that you have a fetish for that character, and to make lewd remarks about it. On the other hand, it would be silly to say this without acknowledging that this is old hat for the fandom.
It's honestly something I just shrug off at this point as "furry drama".
