The Meowers were trolls or "Usenet Performance Artists" on Usenet during the late 1990s. They were responsible for the "Meow Wars", one of the largest flamewars in Usenet history.[1]. One of their targets was the Alt.Horror.Werewolves Usenet group, the birthplace of the therian community.[2] Ironically, some of the meowers were themselves members of the early otherkin community, including Tiernan[3] and Magpie Hrafnsdottir.[4]
