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

Eurofurence is also, like all European cons, an 18+ event. There's no minors present for people to moralfag about.
and also few americans. even Kage's spoken about how it's easier to openly be a degen at europe cons because people either don't care or just judge you internally.

america's all about the puritanical spectacle- both in the pearl-clutching moralizing & degens feeling the urge to make their public kink a big deal that everyone has to see.

Reactions: Kirkolite and awoo
The people complaining about the cops being at Anthrocon are the same ones who complain the reg line is too long, as they watch the 6 overworked volunteers running the registration desk frantically try to get 8,000 badges out the door. "Somebody should do something about this!" they'll exclaim, as they offer no help whatsoever.

For as many "communists" and "socialists" as there are in the furry community, there sure seems to be a lack of people wanting to work for the "common good" of making a convention happen. Those cops wouldn't have to clear the roof if volunteers swept through first to get people out.

It's a white, male-run convention. Of COURSE they aren't going to help! They'll make their own con! With blackjack and hookers!

HMHF is dead in the water. Chise would rather you forget she scammed many people out of thousands of $ over merchandise sales that just vanished into thin air. The Twitter’s been dead since February despite promising to “soft launch [the] website” and the caard site that exists still shows the 2022 dates.

Chise just wants to larp as Moderna PR so doesn’t even mention it anymore.

And she wonders why people don’t take her seriously.

Of course. It's what modern communism/socialism is all about. 'Let someone else toil and do the hard work, I'M the special snowflake philosopher/leader/artisan!'. We saw a prime example of this during the whole CHOP debacle where the vast majority of people would hang out in the zone during the day but get in their cars and leave when night time came. Very few stuck around for the real nitty gritty and even those that did had no idea what the hell they were doing.
 
I'd honestly make the argument that HMHF is a bigger scam than CCFC ever was.

It's no secret that I've been working on the Nitro/Matthew thread mostly on my own for a while now, and while I still think Nitro is an irredeemable piece of shit who fucked over a lot of people, he at least managed to put out an event. Granted, it was horribly mismanaged, nearly went down in flames on the first night, and Nitro embezzled the charity funds to bail his ass out, but hey, he at least put out an event.

Then you have Chise, who has not only accepted (at the bare minimum) several thousand dollars worth of "donations", but she has yet to disclose how much she collected, what the money was to be used for, and she was raising funds for HMHF using the same PayPal/KoFi she was using for personal expenses and commissions. And what do we have to show for all that money? Pretty much nothing. She's shilled merchandise several times, but to my knowledge, none of that has ever been produced, let alone shipped.

Chise's excuse for postponing HMHF was due to "covid safety concerns" is such a massive lie. The tweet announcing that was dated February 28th of this year. However, March 4-6th would be when Fur The More 2022 happened, an event Chise confirmed she attended and even had a panel at.

So just to reiterate, Chise postponed her outdoor furry event due to a concern over airborne illness... and then literally 4 days later, she goes to a furry convention held indoors with even less air circulation and covid safety protocols. And people still don't think she's a hypocrite?
 
Kiwi Farms is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to historical lolcows because nobody was there during the BBS and IRC days to record their antics. A lot of quintessential early speculative fiction/nerd con people are mostly lost to history because of that.
Eh I think we have a bunch of older people here. Nobody bothered to archive shit back then though.

The period where people kept becoming therians was fucking hilarious. That died off and I'm sad about it.
 
eurofurence dealer's den openly displays porn & has vore/macro/transformation/etc. meets on the official schedule. one of the con drinks at the bar is the 'spooge special', a cocktail that looks like an overflowing glass of cum
“You got jacked by a guy named spooge?”

Honestly American conservatives obsessive over strange innocuous bullshit just enables and makes these faggots more obnoxious. It’s like that annoying sibling in the backseat with you — just fucking ignore them and they’ll get bored eventually. If they can’t get a reaction out of you, they’ll just look and feel like some jackass presenting to nobody.

It's still on Tumblr+Twitter for people ages 12-25. People who are "otherkin" are also esssentially therians now and instead of being like "I really, really, really like and relate to this thing and they could essentially be me" to "I LITERALLY AM this thing in every sense of the word; we are LITERALLY indistinguishable and the same" and instead of people being (ex.) a "cat therian" they'd be a "cat kin". Being "kin" is more appealing to zoomers since it requires no introspection or effort and it's less spiritual.
This was the first result from searching "my kin list" on Google.

I'd recommend just googling shit like "kin list" "my kins" "kinnie twitter" etc. It's all fucking hilarious and I hope I inspired you.
ETA: They also usually use their kins as fucking pronouns. It's why you see delusional schizoids going by cat/cats/catself or 🐱/🐱s/🐱self (or any thing/emoji)
