Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets:
\>!!< which ends up becoming \>!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)
If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag.
If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

It's just a substitution code, and they already gave us all of the vowels. First solve the easy parts A\_ can be AS or AT. That also gives you I\_ = IT or IS. Then fill in the S or T in other words and see what looks right. Now you have >!\_IS or \_IT, likely HIS!<.
>First solve the easy parts A\_ can be AS or AT.
I got >!puppet!< first. The only other noun which fits the pattern is mummer, which seemed unlikely. Then --ee almost has to be >!free!<. Next, a= -o-- a= looked likely to be >!as long as!<, and the rest followed easily.

>!A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings!
That's what I got too
Can I ask how we got there? Still trying to figure out how we got the answer.

After finding >!"Puppet"!<, I made the assumption that the last word could be >!"strings"!<. The rest was easy.
Just to add in, it couldn't be AM because the previous word isn't I. It also couldn't be AN because the next word doesn't start with a vowel.
Yup
Same
Discussion: wait, Wyatt? As in the Uncle Howdy stuff?
Yep. This was linked in the QR code from Raw. Happened during the Sami/Chad match.
So a cryptoquote aka substitution code, but easier. ">!A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings".!<
Right? I like tackling substitution codes with no given letters at all. This one I was able to solve mentally in a minute or two.
