Gonna go out on a limb and say the big wigs are too scared to do public appearances due to the virus.

I think the choice was made before Coronavirus went viral (ha), but still, you have a point.

I have to agree with Broadwing too in that they used to draw talent and big names. Sue hasn’t done a damn thing in the fandom in years and this is a con that got a big shot Disney animator who worked on Zootopia to be GOH once. What happened, did AC lose their clout?

There's another con going on next weekend thats not too far from Furnal Equinox; Toronto Comic Con. Its still on as far as Im aware but people from both cons are known to go between the two because they're within a subway ride/decent walking distance from eachother.

Do you think some unintended germ warfare between the comic nerds and furries will occur? Will one con get hit by the virus while the other one is spared? Only time will tell

Edit: forgot to mention someone with COVID-19 attended the same venue TCC was held in during a mining conference. Thats the same event where Canada's PM was exposed to it and why he's in self-isolation. Toronto is gonna be a shitshow next weekend

Any real city would shut them the fuck down by executive order, as many gatherings of 500+ have been. But this is Toronto.

And this is furfags, with their typical social responsibility. But hey at least they'll protect the public by banning MAGA hats there.

Maybe the COVID-19 virus can survive for long periods on filthy unwashed fursuits.

Sweat carries the disease, which gets trapped in the suit, and that stuff can sit for a long time on porous materials such as foam.
Unless you're scrubbing your fursuit between cons, every time, enjoy being Patient Zero for a delayed COVID-19 con crud.

"Godammit furfags!" is something I would usually say in this situation. So many red flags has been showing and they still go on with it.
Fuck it! It's on, boys! No more coming back!

“...breaking these contracts at this late date would put our organization into bankruptcy, threatening any future events (either delayed or for future years).”

“By the gods, we may be childish, irresponsible furries who end up infecting thousands but there will ALWAYS be a Furnal Equinox!!!!”

And the board members sign with their fake made up character names, just reinforcing how this is all make believe to them.

This highlights a systematic problem with furry conventions. Furry conventions are highly infamous for being run on razor thin margins with no money left aside for when shit hits the fan. RMFC and CaliFur are good examples, both cons ran into financial issues after security costs had to be increased. Before this they were already mismanaged, CaliFur was burning through money and RMFC was run by SovCit aligned retards. But having to pay more for security to deal with edgy furries online threatening to fight IRL (RMFC) or allegedly attack the convention (CaliFur) put them into the red.

In this case there's nobody to point the finger at as non-furry cons left and right are being canceled. The coronavirus outbreak is spreading across the USA and North America and everything from NBA games to corporate events have been canceled. It's causing widespread economic damage as seen by the stock market taking a massive hit. States across America are canceling school for several weeks to try to slow the spread of it.

FE is deciding to take a risky move. They're living in the delusional few weeks ago mindset that it's just the flu and that it won't happen to them, so they're deciding to keep it going anyway. Furries are going to show up anyway, vendors need to make money and lonely furries need to socialize for a few days before they get super con crud 14 days later. Some furries who are smarter are going to cancel, but there are plenty who don't care about the risks or think it's only going to affect those filthy boomers anyhow.

Pretty much any of the large, well-run ones can eat a cancelled year - this is good planning. But FE is not big enough to do that. Pretty much none of what used to be called regionals are. AC, FC, MFF could tank a cancellation... These guys not so much.

I never looked much into convention politics. How much of a salary do con admins like to pay themselves?

Smaller cons don't make too much money and are run on a "labor of love" basis. When there's no drama involved it might or might not work, because any unexpected expenses are going to dent the con. I posted a writeup from the founder of another Canadian con (WhatTheFur) a while back on why a con crashed and burnt but the tl;dr is both dealing with local furries and a rival con burnt him out. Money wise though the issue was the con was run at a loss and only done because he felt like his area needed a con. When he realized how shitty the furry scene was he backed out.

Kick the fucking kids out of the god damn fandom, for fucks sake. I'm not saying I blame the kid, I'm saying that this is like god damn Hollywood. The bullshit "family friendly" lie that furries keep spreading because they want to protect their shitfucking community from any drama is just being used to sweep this shit under the rug.

Also, curbstomp that fucking pedophile. He fucked a 14 year old.

So Gama_Trash joins February is followed by loads of people but follows noone themself

Also anyone else confused by the Telegram screenshot post layout? Doesn't that make all the screenshots by Nightshade themself?

Why would they screenshot messages to them that accuse them of all this and how would they then end up in the hands of someone that is now putting them on blast with them?

Also Largo posts 1 time before and suddenly tons of activity in furry around the post?

KiwiFarms is not your Personal Army and unless its me confused then this Nightshade has someone faking screenshots on them

Look at how messy furries make shit. Either a pedo is getting sympathy because they can't compile for shit or some innocent guy is getting pounded for nothing

The first chat screenshot was taken by Gama it seems, and the second one by some third party (possibly the compiler)

Yeah, first chat is from Gama, talking with Nightshade. Looks like someone named "Connor" confronted Nightshade on Telegram, then Nightshade showed it to Gama as part of trying to get the kid to go along with the lie that Nightshade didn't know. Gama didn't go along with it and shared that screenshot further. Kid calls him "midnighthusky6969", but I assume that's just the former telegram handle or something since it's too long to be a Twitter handle.
