About
Socialist Teeth refers to an art challenge within the Furry community on Twitter. The challenge started as a parody of a furry Twitter user who commented that furries who express left-wing political views will have "socialist teeth" in their fursona avatars, meaning the user believed that Twitter users with drawn animal characters baring their teeth as their avatars are generally left-wing.
Origin
On June 29th, 2020, Twitter user @Blue_Dingolf posted a series of tweets attempting to illustrate how a left-wing furry user attempted to race-bait with a joke then back off their claim. In response, on June 30th, user DiQTheFur[1] pointed out that people like this have "socialist teeth" in their Twitter avatars (shown below).
Spread
The phrase became associated with an art trend several days later when, on July 8th, 2020, Twitter user @aqueerwolf[2] posted a screenshot of the conversation, gaining over 3,000 retweets and 8,600 likes (shown below).
As the tweet spread, Twitter users began posting furry artwork showing animals with bared teeth as a way to signal their allegiance with left-wing politics. For example, user @scpkidd[3] posted artwork that gained over 400 retweets and 2,100 likes (shown below, left). User @kind7ed[4] posted art that gained over 230 retweets and 930 likes (shown below, right).
Others joked about the spread of the hashtag itself. In particular, many Twitter users joked about a suspected bot account that misunderstood the hashtag, saying countries suffered under "socialist teeth"[4] (shown below, left). User @YeetBeauty[5] posted a Money Printer Go Brrr meme about the trending hashtag, gaining over 400 retweets and 1,700 likes (shown below, right).
