Convention expenses are part and parcel as are artist expenses, so we'll put good will here. Let's break it down:
- Make a fursuit? Was the material from poor farmers who sell to big sweatshops to spin it? Or is some of it synthetic and made from nonbiodegradable materials in a factory with hazardous health conditions?
- Sell pins, figurines, or other goods not manufactured by you? Sweatshop overseas takes care of it.
- When someone has a party, how much is being spent on drugs? Are all drugs made manufactured or grown, and are they necessary/conductive to a healthy society? If they order a pizza, does all that cheese, grain, and tomato go to waste by using it for a spunk joke?
- Bad dragon might as well have a monopoly on the corner market of insane fantasy dildos. Not on ALL insane dildos, just most of the furry ones.
- When you pay an artist, what do they do with the money? Do they always fund it to next convention or towards necessary purchases, or is some of that spent on general middel-upper class purchases or in fandom merch?
Actually, let me break it down better this way: how do you become popular in the furry fandom? You either make something people like, or you buy things. A LOT of things. How much money does one drop on furry art commissions? On furry art, on fur suits, on fur merch, on normal merch that reminds you of your favorite animals or fursona, on custom merch, on Things YOU Own. People come to YOU because YOU OWN THINGS. Sometimes you even share them! "Wow! I see this guy's name a lot because he commissions all my favorite artist, love his fursona! He says he's throwing a big room party with beer too in a big hotel suite, what a guy!" Not like Kevin knows since he doesn't pay taxes.
Basically, you become popular by spending money. "But you're giving it all to artist!

" Doesn't matter. You're buying status and buying friends, with UNNECESSARY purchases. Kevin himself never gets this because he'd deny he'd ever buy status with all those Transformers when he'd openly gloat about his collection and latest purchases. It's not even the consumption of useless items, it's the overbuying of useless items made by artist who get all their materials from a corrupt system.
Shit, I haven't even talked about the joke of furry art pricing. Not like he'd notice the abuse of status or monopolization of a closed species or anything. Fuck off.
