Furry Fandom and Drama General

A venue in NYC tried charging extra for furries.

Considering furries are known for having sex in their fursuits and considering the furry fandom is majority sexual, yeah it's not a hard guess to make that your fucking shit is fetish-related.

Funnily enough, I keep seeing furries and their defenders try and counter this by... saying that their suits are too hot to have sex in, which therefore means that furries don't have sex and are thus, not a sexual fandom.

You can't make this shit up.

Yeah that should be illegal as all hell. Changing the price a day before the actual event starts because of something you should have known about well in advance speaks more about the venue then the attentdees. Especially since once again this is just another small nudge towards more blatant shit. "Oh you're Republican? Pay more. You're white? Pay more."

It should be illegal but this is funny.

But I also smell BS because of the fact it’s way too sudden.

He was a founder of ConFurence, the first furry convention which started in 1989.

The first ConFurence was the location of this wonderful performance:

It was always a sex thing. Even back when they were called the Funny Animal Fandom.

This suit occasionally pops up in old videos. It's like a cryptid. I laugh every time I see it. It's like a parody. The man in the costume isn't Mark Merlino, it's some dude named Robert Hill.

Robert Hill is a particularly creepy individual. He worked for Disneyland as one of their mascots, along with a gang of other homosexual men who would regularly fuck at the park, after hanging around with children all day.




He apparently faked his death once before, but more or less actually dying a few years ago. Dude had some serious mental issues, along with a laundry list of others.

A little more on Robert Hill. According to most write ups on him, he is considered one of the first or first official fursuiter.

In his later years in life, he pulled an Oppenheimer and regretted what he started.

On his pedo tendencies, he has a few works on his Inkbunny that really shows that

This makes his public Hilda video creepier as he is in the vicinity of kids. This video is also from Mark Merlino's channel. What a coincidence.

That makes The Fandom documentary by Ash Coyote age even worse (it already has DHC). Where Robert is celebrated as a Fandom pioneer, when instead he was a pedo who regretted what he helped create.

Hill died on December 14, 2018. The Tweet claiming this has now since been deleted (account it was on may of been deleted as well at some point) but it was archived.

Considering he hasn't surfaced since then and the state of his FurAffinity page he is presumably dead now for certain.

Man, pretty disturbing that he worked as a mascot at Disney, where hugging stranger's kids is like, the whole job.
The Hilda costume actually looks really well made. If he made a version without the dominatrix gear and boobs and just had Hilda in like overalls or a tee-shirt or something, he could've been just a funky costume art guy.
The overpowering need to mix sexual fetishes with cartoons, fantasy and kid's stuff I will never understand. "Diapered gatherings" jfc
Also the way the guy filming says "oooh!" when Hilda bends over. Yikes.
Even Robert Hill's 'clean' drawings have some of the worst cases of 'furry bedroom eyes' I have ever seen.

Being publicly kinky perverts who hurl shit-filled diapers on people's cars and similar shit is not a protected category under any anti-discrimination law I'm aware of.

I suppose the best argument is detrimental reliance. They were quoted a price, reasonably relied upon that in choosing that venue when they could have chosen another, and then were bait-and-switched. I suppose there's actually an argument there.
 
Would this drama count for this thread? It's furry adjacent, as it involves a known furry:

Second Life is still a thing and it has a giant problem with virtual underage content of a sexual nature even after the owners Linden Labs banned it years ago in 2007. Turns out, the biggest group involved with said content in the here and now is more or less living directly in their walls.

In late February an article was posted to Medium documenting content from a years long investigation into 'age-play' involving adults with avatars representing underaged people (from teens all the way to toddlers), after parts of the investigation was leaked in 2023. The article links accounts belonging to makers and uploaders of digital/simulated cp content to people who are directly involved in the development of Second Life itself, and surprising no one it turns out that a number of them identify as furries. Parts of the article have been censored as of recently due to reports and is under review for what I assume is 'doxxing' people, so here's an archive link to the original article pre-redaction. It's a really interesting read for just how deep the rabbit hole goes and there's probably someone else who could do a much better write up / tl;dr of it than I can.

Two of the biggest people involved are Eric Nix aka Patch Lindon, Vice President of Product Operations at Linden Labs, and their husband, Xelm Snowpaw. Xelm, a contract employee of Linden Labs who holds the role of QA Lead for the Product Operations’ art department under the account name Squeaky Mole, is apparently well known in the furry community for being into cub content and is known to have commission various pieces of their cub fursona being molested, raped, and otherwise put into sexual situations with adult characters. Naturally, they've already deleted everything so their Inkbunny account no longer exists, but the article itself has some censored screen shots of cub content that was commissioned by Xelm:

given that discovering teen grid SL as an 11 year old led to my eventual grooming by a furry pedo who used the platform I'd say it qualifies

I sometimes wonder how different my life would've been had that discovery not happened. It butterfly-effected into so much, I might not have even become a kiwi !!
 
Was wanting to ask; is there a thread or somewhere concerning furfag stories and such? Like, I know we all like to mock the crappy artwork and fursuits that the fandom has made over the years, but what about the numerous stories furries have made?

I know there's the TF (Transformation) Community thread, but anywhere for non-furry TF stories?
