This weekend is Fur the More 2024, which has had a troubling last couple of years. As a quick recap:
-2022: they made several stupid and drastic policy changes
while the event was running and pissed off most of the attendees. It is way too long for me to summarize here,
so I will link to this post I made back then going into more detail. They also insisted on switching their featured charity to something more "progressive" (that showed multiple warning signs of not being very legitimate), only for that charity to
misappropriate all the money that Fur The More gave them.
-2023: even more restrictive policies that
weren't revealed until a couple of days before the con. More attention was brought to the fact
that CrusaderCat showed up, con staff banned him immediately, and then wrote a bunch of
self-masturbatory posts on social media about how inclusive they were by banning him.
-2024: masks and COVID vaccination records are mandatory.
Their social media was getting little to no engagement and it was theorized that interest was really low.
