Is this something you do often? I could see a few use cases and also for copying garage keys. But I don't think I would use it enough to justify the investment
You can't even clone you garage door opener key anyway. Flipper Zero and its clones have always been pseudohacker nonsense. Fun little party trick I suppose.

That makes sense. And I do strongly believe in the "virtuous circle" bit: people who aren't OK with others being themselves tend not to feel comfortable at, or get invited back to, events. That would make it more comfortable for the next event's attendees, making it less pleasant for the remaining pains in the necks, and so on. I've participated in conversations like: Q: Why do rightwing websites keep getting hacked?…
Kind of transgressive to go from „someone not being ok with something“ to „so that’s totally fine to hack them“.

Is there some study to explain why? Do they feel more safer pretending to be human sized...furry animal?
My hypothesis, based purely on personal experience and what friends have told me. I am not a furry. I feel like infosec was one of the earliest "no one cares who you are if you have skills" user groups. Online, you were just a handle. Man, woman, both, neither, no one knew until if/when you met up IRL. Until then, all you had was your reputation. I think that led to people having a pretty good idea about the attitude…
It's far easier to be transphobic / racist / furry-phobic if the first thing you notice about a person is their gender / race / furriness.
If you are that kind of person, you immediately get into the mindset of "what they're saying isn't worth listening to because they're a , and s can't be smart by definition." If you first meet them online, you picture them as smart in your head, before you learn that they're black / trans / furry. When you do learn about that, you already think that they're smart, so it's much harder for your brain to dismiss them just because they're something you don't like.
