The issue with predators in the Animal Jam community has gotten more heated and Animal Jam Staff have finally (poorly) responded to things. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or if I'm doing this right, but I felt I should bring awareness to the issue with what I know. This should be enough to pique interest in the subject and possibly lead to more information, either because I find more from my own investigation later or somebody else is able to find things I haven't been able to. If you wish to archive additional Instagram pages, YouTube videos, or other information, it could help out with the investigation into this issue. I archived most of what needed to be shared, but some of the stuff that is more cumbersome to archive has been skipped for the time being.
Details of predatory behavior:
There are several users involved in allegations of pedophilia. There are Hyenine1 and Stray Cat 2 AJ who are most known, but there are also some players like Coretoon AJ who have been accused of pedophilia.
Here are some videos that broadly discuss the issue:
Hyenine1
This user draws questionable furry artwork on a kids' game and has pedophile accusations against them.
Video about Hyenine1 here: Sources here: https://puppy-plush.tumblr.com/post/188540291909/hyenine1-shouldnt-be-on-aj https://www.instagram.com/not_hyenine/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbtfwHHM7f/

Current Animal Jam usernames: chocolate4froggy, hyenine1
Stray Cat 2 AJ
Strange, 20-year-old autistic person who uses his disability as an excuse. Has been said to groom minors and harass different streamers. Even if you have a hard time believing he's a pedophile that harasses random people, you can clearly see just by his streams that he will sometimes have strange behavior like blaring sirens in the background and calling his enemies pedophiles.

Coretoon AJ
They've seemed to vanish, but they were a foot fetish artist who was said to groom minors. Also drew art of underage fictional characters.

What happens when AJHQ receives a player report? We have received several questions and concerns about what happens when players are reported to AJHQ. We encourage you to take a moment to review each of the following questions in the slides above. Please remember to continue to report and block players that you find not adhering to Animal Jam rules. If you ever feel unsafe, involve your parent(s), contact our Support Team, trusted adults, or proper authorities. These are the questions that are addressed in the slides:
-What happens when you report a player in-game?
-Why wasn’t action taken on my report / did you see my report?
-Why can’t you tell me if a player has been banned?
-What if I believe a Masterpiece or Masterblock is inappropriate?
-What evidence/proof will result in disciplinary action?
-How to keep
@animaljam a positive social channel?
-How can I help?

"Stop spreadin' those rumors around...stop spreadin' the lies"
Help spread calm and positivity in your online community. Be wary of sharing rumors and posting second-hand claims about other players. Getting involved in this type of drama is upsetting and can really hurt players in real life. Be a No Drama Llama and help keep the Animal Jam community a stress free place to engage.
"c'mon everybody stop spreadin' the rumors"
