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

Let us not forget that “poodleing” allows furfags to hide their age… and all the porn online i think this was brought up but you don’t know If it’s a minor underneath that head…
I'm sorry but how does arm skin determine age outside of like, hair or something?
 
Regarding Anthrocon, especially since it's geared to older anthros and by older anthros, and since it pertains to this question regarding the sweltering summer:
I find their "issue" quite simple. Why not organise their parade and, essentially, their conventions 6 months later/earlier? Late November/Early December. You could say "Thanksgiving and Christmas, too crowded and difficult to manage", well, fine, how about January? The "anthrosuits" or whatever seem like the perfect excuse to cover yourself with in the colder air of somewhere of the East Coast, or even the fresh and damp air of West Coast.

Seems like a nothingburger to me, and an excuse to get retards to parade around and sweat like dumbshits.
Historically January was (and is) Further Confusion's domain, MLK day weekend in San Jose. While they're no longer the 'Big Two' of furry cons it still wouldn't be a great idea to go head to head.

And unlike FC there's always the chance you'll get a foot of snow and then you're metaphorically fucked.

Yeah I don't follow haha
Unless you mean, "poodleing" is the cheapest way to be a furry IRL?
But even then, long sleeves and pants don't cost that much

Hm, I guess their murrsuits aren't adapted to rain or snow. Who knows, maybe they should start thinking about it - those who are older and don't really care anymore about being all sexy and smutty, huh? - even if we know that the subculture was created thanks to a smut comic (and other stuff I'm just not going to take time to point out).

Regardless, yeah, I forgot about the snow. Then... well, I guess the West Coast is your path to go. Washington or so. Or keeping an eye on those days with short snowfalls on the East Coast and enjoy the comfort for once!

my best guess is that it's when most people have free time, college is on break and many people are vacationing

that's dumb, how does it hide your age any better than a full body fursuit? unless you mean it obscures your face, which is equally as dumb because the face isn't any more perfect of an indication of age than the body, and any ol mask will do not just a fursuit head

i think you're just grasping at straws here to find more things to get outraged at than already exist

It's not that simple. Anthrocon has been happening in July since 1997 and they have to heavily coordinate with the city of Pittsburgh. Also there are other major furry cons that happen at the same time like MFF for example in December.


Edit because I don't want to double post:

Partials are more affordable, less hot, and a lot easier to travel with. That's the appeal. Poodling, which literally just means you have human skin showing somewhere, has nothing to do with age. Plenty of adults poodle. Some people used to get pissed off saying it "broke the magic" of the character but you don't see that as much anymore.

Because people have been suiting in July for decades. It is honestly not as big of a deal as people in this thread are making it out to be.

Yeah, it's hot. Yeah, you sweat a lot. As long as you hydrate well before and after you'll be fine sweating your balls off for an hour or two. For all their flaws, most full suiters know this perfectly well and do so no issue.

For the most part the people you usually see overheating are the younger ones that don't have a full suit. The "party con" crowd drinks nothing but sugar and liquor and will dehydrate themselves rapidly, especially once you start adding drugs on top of that. Every con has way more medical issues at the nightly "rave" instead of the parade.

Rain kind of sucks. Snow can actually be nice, from what I hear.

It's just as much about the non-suiting participants. Furry cons in downtown areas basically have a huge... I don't know what you call it, mobility footprint. You've got people ranging out up to say half a mile to spread out during lunch and dinner, so ice and snow in that situation is sub-optimal. To say nothing of the travel implications: Getting from the Pittsburgh airport to downtown isn't great at the best of times.
 
I don’t know what the fuck any of this is, so sorry if this was posted.

Some faggot showed up on my recommendations whining about some con:
We've literally been discussing this for the past like four pages.

tl;dr: Anthrocon added a new policy that during the fursuit parade, you must be in a full costume with no human skin visible. This has royally pissed off the younger crowd who have been "poodling" (term for wearing fursuits with skin exposed) for years and now are being told "no".

Edit: Actually tried watching the video and it is just the same shit. "Anthrocon takes place in the summer so not having skin exposed to direct sunlight when costuming means heatstroke." Retard.

Oh so it’s something that doesn’t affect normal, well-adjusted people then? Thanks.

"allows furfags to hide their age" "you don’t know If it’s a minor underneath that head…"
I hadn't thought of that. I bet most of the conventions the little faggots put together don't have any sort of age verification/security checkpoint.
Considering on multiple occasions known sex offenders and animal abusers have gotten in, some invited in. Think Khord Kitty fraternized with one of the known ones.
Probably not in a furry's best interest to check ages considering they have their backroom orgies and pool parties.

As vilifying to a furry it may be messing with an already abused and brainwashed child, it'd be stupid to say they'd want to miss out on anyone and everyone that wants to join in..

To avoid satan immolating and dragging them back down to hell for a job poorly done, I know they need to eventually catch some young unsuspecting kid unexposed to the horror.
Quoting snakething "I love corrupting little kiddos"

Edit: what the fuck leads to this level of depravity and autism?

This is just inaccurate. You have to show your ID to get your con badge and then if you're a minor you usually get some kind of marker on your badge. And then they check your ID again to enter things like the NSFW part of the dealers den etc.

I know we've talked about it for several pages but I'm still cracking up at some of these responses to the no skin/no flags rule, so here are a couple of my favorites:

The outside portion of the Anthrocon parade takes roughly 3-5 minutes to complete. If you pass out after being in the sun for 3-5 minutes you should not own a fursuit.

Pittsburgh definitely asked them to instate the no flags rule bc furries flying the Palestinian flag makes it look like Anthrocon is actively supporting Palestine, which they obviously don't have a public stance on because why would they? It could also potentially incite violence from Pittsburgh locals who don't agree. This is an event streamed online AND shown on Pittsburgh news stations. ACTIVELY SUPPORTING A GENOCIDE lmao you can't make this shit up.

Plus Palestinians did it to them selves… a lot of pro Palestine crap is just far left spoon fed radical propaganda.. you support palastine you support hamas. Do your research 3\4 of the aid goes to hamas not Palestinians. It’s also extremely superficial and shallow and is just an atta boy like everything else in their little kink community it’s done for optics and attention…


Back In the day People were in the furry community to escape drama and politics…

People go to fir conventions to have a good time… money raised goes to good causes… where did these ppl go wrong…
