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

So I don't want to imagine how fucking disgusting and unsanitized fursuit head could be.

I remember going to a furry rave one time and I didn't really think about how full body fursuiting and rave dancing wouldn't be all that good of an idea. I tried for the most part to avoid the mass of sweaty dancing suiters but was ultimately bear hugged from behind. I swear to god it felt like he'd just gotten out of a pool of water. It was such a foul experience, though the event was still fairly enjoyable. You think by now there'd be better ways of tackling the sweating problem than a simple fan necklace.

Protip for any fursuiters lurking on this thread: if you don't want your suit to smell during a convention, the easiest solution is rubbing alcohol. Lots of rubbing alcohol. Fuck that gay-ass "fursuit spray" shit you see in the dealer's den, you don't need that.

Seriously, just go to Walmart, and buy a spray bottle and a big bottle of rubbing alcohol for like $6. When you're about to go to bed for the night at the convention, spray the shit out of that suit with alcohol. It's going to reek for several hours afterward, but it kills almost anything that might be on the suit, and when it dries, it's completely odorless. Just be careful not to spray anything painted like the head's eyes and you'll be fine.

(This isn't me trying to shitpost or trick people into damaging their suits, I'm genuinely offering this advice as a PSA. You smell that gross fursuit smell just once and you'll never forget it :()

Can confirm, although not from a furry angle, specifically. My best friend in college was the guy in the mascot suit (only the head and arms were covered in felt, the rest was just nylon fabric over foam padding) whenever our football team was playing. He sprayed rubbing alcohol all over and inside the suit after every game and God bless him for it because he looked like he had just had a bucket of water poured all over him every time he took the head off.

I used to be a theme park mascot. Can confirm that I used isopropyl alcohol to clean my shit. You just mix it with water and stick it in a spray bottle. I also used unscented baby wipes to wipe down the inside of the head.

Did any of you ever stop to think that people don't wash their fursuits because they have a 'musk' fetish, or

I was once told by furry I used to know with a uh “musk” kink that all people need is to shower daily and wear a good cologne. He told me deodorants and antiperspirants were bad for your skin so he doesn’t wear them. Ever.

You assume the hyena fag actually telling people this isn't serious? Anybody that spouts that shit is far too gone, a part of the retarded be gay do crime crowd. While most of them will never do anything major it is still promoting it, not jokingly.
 

Don't know how I overlooked this one. Yet again, people mostly having fun and that's too much of an issue for the con.
Or at least the morbidly obese guy who doesn't mind showing up to a convention, but has problems appearing in the background of someone's video recording.

It's always such a shame that the weasels who get all "handsy" trying to kick people out never seem to encounter targets who could kick the living shit out of them for it. They pull that shit on the wrong kind of person and it won't be pretty.

You'd think people who run cons or represent/manage hotels would understand better than most that going hands-on with someone to remove them from a semi-public setting is just begging for trouble. "Muh private property" doesn't make assault legal.

I’m not sure if I hate the furries or the prank YouTubers more here.

This is so lukewarm in terms of how disruptive they're being. The staff sure like exercising their power whenever they can.
Is this a new trend? I've never really seen them kick people out over so little before.

EDIT: I take it back, they were pretty disruptive after getting kicked out, but I still never realized you had to have special media passes to film a video inside the con.

If you're a normal sperg just doing video for your own uses that's usually seen as fine.

If you're media almost always you need to register as such and there are rules, and special badges, etc. One continual problem with furry con infiltrators is they don't know how to act and get made almost instantly.
