Furry Convention Drama - Because you can't have a couple thousand dog fucking enthusiasts under the same roof without shit hitting the fan

[LeChampion1992]

The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch has announced that it's going to be at BLFC and that they're this year's charity.

Seems a very last minute decision and they're still not named on the con's website. The drama potential may be epic.

Seeing the ranch full of troons I'm going to imagine the con is going to be filled to the brim with boring furry bugmen and troons galore.

I wonder how long the troon armor can withstand the legal ramifications of signing up as a charity when they are a for-profit organization, that's just tax fraud lol

And didn't they do this at another con already, or am I mixing them up and this IS the con they plan to pull this?

I mean knowing these people they will find some scheme around it then some heroic alt furry type (I'm being hopeful) decides to call the IRS for shits and giggles and the ranch goes down for tax fraud.

Bwaahahahaha.

“Canine Cock-smiths, Local Union No. 69”

The fact furry artists argue we need a union is more evidence that we should look into euthanasia.

Full time furry artists absolutely see other artists as competition, it's why there's been ever-increasing calls to unionize the furry art scene so they don't keep getting undercut by their competition and so they can set the prices on furry smut. Look at the reactions they have any time an artist is "called out" for charging ridiculous rates for commissions.

The irony should be this. You get what you pay for with furry art some people want to spend thousands on well drawn dog cock and diaper fetish porn. The argument for unionization is coming from shit tier people making shit tier art getting out done by some random autist or teenage girl who decided to buy how to draw furries booklet.

If it's the artists protecting themselves against the interests of customers, you can't really call it a union. By my understanding, labor unions exist to represent employees in contract/compensation disputes against their employers. If the artists themselves seek to band together to impose an artificial price floor, I believe the technically correct term is "cartel." Of course, the downside of being definitionally correct is that it doesn't sound nearly as good on Bird App.

That sounds like every furry convention since 2016.

I think the de facto term they propose is "guild" but I could see furries thinking they're bad mofos for belonging to a "cartel." Maybe it'll make it easier for the FBI to come down on them.

Ehh the troon shit really came into fruition around 2017-2019 to be quite honest.

You're correct. This is not the first furry convention the Ranch was the featured charity for; they were also the charity for DenFur 2021, which happened in late August:

I remember there being a LOT of backlash from other furries for DenFur choosing the Ranch (as opposed to say, pretty much any other charity that could actually use the money), but it happened anyway, and if this tweet is accurate, the Ranch received $16,000 from DenFur over this:

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but there's some extremely concerning nepotism going on in order to feature the Ranch for a convention, let alone MULTIPLE events in only a few months.

 

[RembrandtCourage]

I browse a few big name artists and I haven't really heard of any calls for them to form any kind of furry art union. The most I see is the occasional circlejerk encouragement of 'ooooh you are worth so much more than that don't put your prices so low' and so on. Seeing furries try to form an art cartel would be amusing.

On the topic of the latest transformers crowdfund scam it seems that Gibes made the announcement on their personal twitter rather than on the official tranch twitter which seems a little unusual. They also made mention that they're 'one of' the sponsored charities there rather than being the sole one.

The more I look into this the more I wonder if this troon ranch is just a tax fraud scheme for trannies.

Considering their previous GFM got like $100k... (and I think that was before they claimed they were incorporated as a nonprofit).

Which one of these cult communes isn't?

Oh yeah, DenFur it was, I knew I spotted the troon ranch in a similar scenario before!

I have a particular hatred for people that leech off of good causes. These people are the exact reason why everybody sees trans folk as delusional faggots that use their flag-status as an excuse to never change their degenerate behavior. Throw in impersonating charities and the obvious nepotism and you got a win on the worst fruit machine ever built.

how did the tranch even get 501 3(c)? it’s not a non profit org like all the other animal rescues cons tend to host for the charities. it’s just a bunch of larping cottagecore troons

They have two corporations. The one registered as for profit, and the one registered as a nonprofit. It's not like it's hard to register a charity, you basically just have to be good at navigating bureaucracy. The challenge comes in surviving an audit if the government thinks you're cheating them out of their tax dollars, or wants to make an example of you politically.

Unless they were smart enough to like, I dunno, register a PO box company in Delaware, wouldn't both companies being in the same space (i.e, the ranch) be a massive conflict tho? I am not familiar with tax laws but I cannot imagine this holding up in court if someone reports them unless they can prove that the money super-serious didn't benefit themselves.

"Yes, our charity benefits troons! ...we are troons, so it's fine, right?"

Them being punished for charity fraud is contingent on them actually being investigated for charity fraud. That's the optimistic part here, unfortunately.

I probably should have worded that better. To clarify, the top fursuit artists have more business than they can handle. There isn't an issue for them when it comes to competing for money/business. But I suppose if it's an issue of competing for attention and getting jealous of one another's success.... that would be more likely.

Inkedfur was also quietly removed from the dealers den for mff. Im sure there are more shitty people in there though.

I knew the trans community was taking over the fandom (and LGBT discourse in general), but they finally climbed the ranks. A politically motivated business is managing to get away with calling themselves a "charity" and infiltrate bigger cons. There's always been drama and such, but I still find this bizarre.

It looks like Chise didn't forget about her vanity fair after all, after spending the good part of the year shilling the jab all day on Twitter:

I've seen friends that were just Gay end up claiming to be trans after not even giving off a hint that they thought that way. I ended up being real with one of them, and asked them if that is really something they want to do, they hesitated and said they really didn't know but it felt right. Told them sometimes a feeling isn't something you should go on. it ended up coming out that the reason they thought they wanted it was because they ended up getting depressed and lonely and the only ones that seemed to "care" about him were the activists he hung around ( most of which aren't even trans or gay ), and they started planting seeds in their mind that mutilating themselves to be "Woman" was the only way they would ever be happy. Its one reason I don't give two craps about the trans movement cause of the manipulation they do to vulnerable people. If it was so great, why are people deleting themselves after getting surgery, and its not because of bullying.

Still a good year or so away, but I'm definitely looking forward to this one. The social justice focus has the potential for such drama, and taking the policing of who is and isn't allowed to attend based on petty political slapfights in the fandom to a whole new level.

Also, I know this sort of thing is to be expected because everyone involved in this is an idpol obsessed radical-liberal anarcho-lefty extremist of some flavor or another, but Jesus christ guys, could you even be more blatant with the anarcho-communist colors in the graphic design? If I saw this out of the corner of my eye and didn't read it, I'd mistake it for propaganda made by some radical political group. Did their promotional material always have this sort of branding? I definitely don't remember if it did and it mentions a "new look", so...

I mean seriously, Just look at this shit, what's next, are they gonna add the generic raised fist, but make it a paw?
