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

[AngryTreeRat]

100% of federal law enforcement agents I know are furries. I don't think people appreciate how many of them are into this stuff.

Half the reason that BDSM gatherings are so discreet, and so overlooked by media, is the fact the feds are there as participants, heck even the presence of city council members is enough to make it so everything needs to be extra hush hush. Just without fursuits they are easier to identify, so the open secret is out there more. It's basically an open secret that every provincial/state/national capital on the planet has a healthy BDSM scene, and if you work for the government you just pretend that you didn't see each other the night before when you show up the next day to yell at each other over the hot button topic of the year.

While I've never personally witnessed such myself, I know of many stories of some underaged kid showing up and going off into a room with some politician and it being overlooked by everyone since it's an open secret to not check the ages of the guests of politicians, in fact you just pretend you don't see them at all. The worse I've seen is some barely legal guests. Still creepy, but at least not criminal, and if you asked me while I was looking right at them in the moment, I know the social contract well enough to say I didn't see them at all.

I always assumed a similar thing was true with furries. The lack of discretion among mainstream furries is the only reason people don't consider how many feds and politicians are into furry shit.

Heck, tinfoil moment, I bet the number of feds at cons is the reason the pedo shit goes unpunished.

I found this "brilliant" post about the infamous bimbo horse fursuiter and thought it was at least worth posting here just for a chuckle or two.

Tweet, Archive. (I couldn't even fit both in a single screenshot. What a fucking tower of word salad.)

It's exactly that. Ever since Saint Floyd of the Fent got martyred back in 2020, the furry fandom became particularly loud, obnoxious, and militant about cops and racial grievances. Granted it comes from how dominantly leftist, anarchic, and communistic most furries are, despite the very bourgeois nature of fursuiting and con-going. In an actual totalitarial/communistic police state, they'd get jackboots to their faces for being lumpenproles, so they have zero room to bitch about police trying to thanklessly keep the peace at their cons (unless, y'know, they have something to hide on a hard drive or some shit.)

Even nowadays I still spot many with ACAB/BLM/1312 identifiers in their Twitter profiles, two years on. Hence why the triggered spergery over the police presence at AC despite their demands to chase the Tarkov LARPer out. Furfags wanna have their cake and eat it.

Oh wow, yeah, this floats. Just trawling through this mama Sapphy’s Twitter shows that they are definitely pure whitebread furry

You'd be surprised how welcoming Pittsburgh in general is to the furries. According to some friends I have that lived in the area, the furries seem to have been adopted as kind-of mascots due to the amount of tourism dollars they pump into the Pittsburgh economy every year during Anthrocon. Of course, your average working-class old Pittsburgher remnant is still going to think they're a bunch of disgusting freaks, but I'd wager it's possible to get through an entire con without interacting with those people.

Several years ago I had the "good fortune" of being in Pittsburgh working just down the street from the convention center over the summer. I was curious and wanted to visit but I definitely wasn't going to pay for entry so I was going to walk around the convention center hallways where anyone could come and go. I knew something strange was happening when I stopped by a local McDonald's and saw a fursuiter and fat dangerhair with con badges getting food. Even the local restaurants and hotels had these weird furry mascot signs put out just for the event (they probably appreciate all the tourism money because who else is visiting Pittsburgh). Anyway the actual con was 95% overweight white people, like the least diverse part of Pittsburgh I've ever seen. Most people didn't bother with fursuits or just had a low effort tail. Surprisingly it didn't smell bad but I also came in when everyone was leaving on the last day. It was like a weird alternate universe where all the cartoon furry animals on Twitter showed up in real life, just walking around and getting taxis in the city. It was also hot as shit that time in the summer so I don't know how people in full on suits handled that outside. Might've been the year after the confederate fursuiter incident, I don't remember.

A question I've mulled over many times that ultimately lead to me leaving furry, that's come up again while I read takes about how the bimbo-lipped horse fursuit with humongous tits & ass isn't intrinsically sexualized:

Are furries actually retarded, or just acting in bad faith?

Do they genuinely believe this fursuit isn't sexual in nature (with accompanying bimbo porn of the character mere clicks away), or is the goal of normalizing sexual excess in the fandom so pervasive that they're willing to make bad faith arguments about how it isn't sexual and therefore allowable in polite society?

Ultimately IDGAF about the substance of the debate- I don't care if some bimbo fursuiter is walking around a con or not- but what bothered me for ages in furry is all the seeming cognitive dissonance & doublethink. If you're going to advocate for sex positivity, assert that the bimbo horse is sexual and that's fine- don't assert that the bimbo horse is non-sexual

The anime con I help at gets a lot of furries at times (even thought they don’t like anime) and one time one guy came in a wolf fur suit with a giant pair of tits. I’m talking like three or four times that or an adult male head. On the first day, I got some people coming to me telling me about him, so I’ve talk to him about why his shit isn’t allowed and he gave me “it’s not sexual”. Bullshit, he knew it was sexual. He didn’t want to get kicked out (which he did since he refused to change). It’s like that with every women I see wearing an “ahegao” hoodie and they tell me “dood, it’s not sexual; it’s a meme”. Yeah, right, bitch, sure it is. I think they want to show off their fetishes, but are afraid of getting backlash from it.

I've only seen male weebs wearing ahegao hoodies. Either way it's very awkward looking in public.

I get the impression that they want to believe the fursuit and characters themselves aren't porn filled and deviant, just the community has huge quantities of porn as part of it. But I'm not sure how much of that I believe.

It's because a troon is wearing it.

Just a few years ago, the discourse was how men wearing sexualized female suits was misogynistic. But when a tranny doe it the have troon armor and it magically goes from misogyny to empowerment and "gender euphoria"

Before my con banned them, it was all edgy, /pol/, “kawaii” “e-girl”s. All of them. Usually from 16-30 and they’re all cunts once you tell them they’re told they can’t wear them. Lol had a girl who said she was going to sue me. Had one girl who said that she was going to ruined me on social media. Had a girl demand a refund for her badge ( got denied) and refused to leave the property until the police/mother got her to leave. Lol she was in her early 20s. Nothing like seeing a somewhat fat woman in a loli pedo shirt sit down on the ground and start cry over getting kicked out for breaking a rule. My career put me around the sick and dying but the wars stories I always tell are from anime cons. That’s bad lmao.

and yet I see Rob Hill being championed in response to this, the archetypal skeavy dude who'd absolutely be troon-cancelled were he still alive for his continued use of the term 'shemale'

I was working a booth, rambling out sales pitches for a game once at a con, when a dude walked up in Soul Calibur Ivy cosplay with massive inflated tits, and started trying to to press up against me and some of the attendees in line and just kept trying to be a complete slut, asking people to fuck him and shit like a bad porno, went out of his way to press his crotch against people so they would feel his dick against them.

We told him to fuck off, and attendees kept trying to push him away and squirm away from him, absolutely killed our ability to drum up hype when our studio was there to try to get people in for demos. Security throwing him out had him yelling about how he was "just in character", and it wasn't sexual and they were just homophobic. Thing is, I haven't played Soul Calibur in years, but Ivy, from what I remember, while hyper sexualized is more if the domme type sexualized, more aloof, rather than the pressing against people ask to suck the cock type sexualized.

He stands out as the only time we had a guy in cosplay being a creep, we get it all the time from women though. The few furries we've had in suits were actually delightful, seemed to show some interest in the game I was was peddling, wasn't even anything furry. They did some silly cringe shit like the puppy hands thing, made barking sounds, tail wagging, but they kept it G-Rated. They were in "ambassador mode" as I call it. When furries act acceptable to try and make themselves look good. Furries got about a 60% chance of scanning the "buy now" QR codes we had up.

Costumes seem to make everyone varying levels of retarded.

Had some big tittie fox or wolf dude do that to me at BLFC, tried to force my head in the "Cleavage." I pushed back, he apologized and I just said it wasn't my thing. Sad to hear people getting grinded on by him at your con. Weird Ed Gein shit.

I wonder what it's like in the furcons along the Orient and Europe.

That's why so many people left the fandom. They don't want to be harassed about me wrong pride badges or deal with some sexual abuser trying to cancel them because they're problematic. In short furries are cry bullies. They want to use all the authority even lethal force against people who oppose them. Yet if they even get ridiculed they claim you're causing serious societal harm.

I can't tell you have how many times some harmless larper or troll is removed from convention space with prejudice because they make some transgender blue hair said.
"They feel like this person creates an unsafe environment" usually a line around that phrase that gets you unceremoniously banned.

Just be glad we don't have a sex convention thread.

 

[Corn Flakes]

Just be glad we don't have a sex convention thread.

Shouldn't that be just merged with the bugchasers and spreaders thread?

Probably for this too but I really meant those BDSM and "adult industry" cons. The more open the perversion the more insane the people.

 

[Furry Troon]

I really meant those BDSM

keep it down, you're going to summon an eight paragraph post from AngryTreeRat

There was a con called Geeky Kink Event that had some hilarity. Namely the guy who owned it, Jeff Mach, turned out to be a bit of a sex pest. What's hilarious is that when he sold GKE to new owners, he also sold them the ball pit- and delivered it- Just the pit.

After all, he hadn't sold them the balls for the ball pit. He'd sold them the ball pit.

Definitely the most accurate take I've seen wrt the booba horse suit.
