Who are the White Rabbits?
The first time I saw these pictures of men acting up in rabbit costumes, I was researching the "gelatin" – or the acting troop

who did a strange artistic "feat" in one of the Twin Towers in which they had to remove a window on the 87th floor or something and which pictures of their office show boxes of plastic explosives.

One of Gelitin's best known art projects began in March 2000, when the group allegedly removed one of the windows on the 91st floor of the former World Trade Center complex and temporarily installed a narrow balcony, while a helicopter flew around the scene, taking photographs to be later documented in their book The B-Thing.[4] The book was published in 2001 and had even by that time taken on an air of urban legend, with new copies selling for $500 on Amazon.com as of 2016.[4
gelitin is a group of four artists from Vienna, Austria. The group was formerly known as gelatin and changed their name in 2005. They are known for creating sensational art events in the tradition of Relational Aesthetics, often with a lively sense of humor.
Among their projects are a gigantic plush toy: a 55 meter tall pink rabbit on Colletto Fava (near Genoa, Italy), intended to remain there until 2025.

so – what is a bunny?
Rabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility or rebirth, and have long been associated with
spring and Easter as the Easter Bunny. The species' role as a prey animal with few defenses evokes vulnerability and innocence, and in folklore and modern children's stories, rabbits often appear as sympathetic characters, able to connect easily with youth of all kinds (for example, the Velveteen Rabbit, or Thumper in Bambi).
Something else comes to mind.
I was browsing in a book store, and came across the genre of homosexuality. Out of curiosity, I picked one up and flipped through. There was a chapter on the "grand pleasure" on being the "first" partner for a newly realized gay woman. It seemed to be something sought after for this essayist.
Only for aggressors, predators, and dominatrix.
Bunnies are a prey animal – and so innocent and fluffy.
There is also much folklore about rabbits, especially in mytholodgy
considered a sign of fertility –
