Part 8: The Downfall
I'm opting to write this now while the iron is hot. At the time of authoring, Gabe is taking massive L after massive fucking L after he was booed off-stage at BLFC 2022. With this new momentum, I think reactions from the public will become more commonplace as now people are seeing that this type of behavior is now normalized. Any further public commentary like this (i.e. someone pushing him out of public spaces) will now go here.
A massive shoutout to both @OldManBoomer & @Pringles Can for getting some of the info from this event out while I was AFK. I'll take it from here, boys.
BLFC 2022
So as previously mentioned by both of the people I tagged, Gabe got booed off-stage and had quite the reaction online. However, I think the two of you missed some things that help add to the dumpster fire this event was.
Leading up to this event,
Hopeful Gracidea got rather agitated towards Gabe as
he threatened to have her (and other people's Twitter accounts) suspended. After this, she posted a rather ominous statement... Not sure what it means, but it's just rather odd that just days before this event, she posted the last tweet I'm about to show
Edit: Apparently that was NOT what that tweet was about. She supposedly had him banned from the San Francisco Pride Parade
Next
, Gabe makes it into the Finals at BLFC 2022.
This upset quite a few people, including Tol Dragon, an admin of a local Bay Area Telegram chat that had previously banned Gabe over transphobic remarks. Incidentally after that ban, Gabe would run to Cani Lupine and cry about it (see Part 7). That in and of itself got him a lot of heat as Tol themselves is Trans. Crying to Cani Lupine, someone who has gone on record stating that they want to shoot trans people.... yeah, not a good look.
Can't leave out the fact that the guy who made Child-Porn-R-Us, WikiNorn,
is also still defending Gabe like the babyback cunt he is.
Cont.
Tol, after seeing the lack of action on the convention's part,
decided to stage a protest during Finals in order to bring awareness to Gabe's shitty actions. Initially watching these tweets play out, I honestly didn't think much would happen but as you'll see later on... I was pleasantly surprised lol

One of the people who complained about Gabe being in the finals
also mentioned something that needs to be highlighted.
Gabe stalked a 12yo fursuit dancer and their friends, who were all under the age of 17.
Someone else mentioned something rather odd, which is that--
Gabe harassed someone's service dog which resulted in them not taking the animal with them to cons anymore.
He of course
did feel the need to respond to one person who was criticizing them
but it didn't amount to much. Just more idle threats of censoring critics
The next day during his set, Gabe was promptly booed during the ENTIRE duration of his performance. Unfortunately, the original Dance Competition vod was removed so big McThankies again to
@Pringles Can for archiving this. But basically if you went back and saw how people reacted to the rest of the performers during their sets compared to his... it was...
bad
According to a tweet which will be found in the Spoiler below this embed, an ENTIRE row of people got up and left as well when his name was announced. Someone else also mentioned that Con Staff helped escort Gabe off the stage. Dunno how true that is.
Of course Twitter took off like a fucking ROCKET with this shit. I'll have to put this under a spoiler because there's just so many god damn people commenting on it lol
Some key highlights include
- LagoVirt commenting in lol
- A tweet mentioning Gabe being a shitfaced jackass got over 1.2K likes (which is a first)
- iBolt07 gave more context to the reason that Gabe was banned from one of the Dancer Fur chats
- Someone who had previously invited Gabe onto their furry podcast deleted that vod. I didn't archive it because there was literally nothing of significance in it.
- More accusations of him non-stop messaging people
- Gabe got pissy when some dancer didn't know who the fuck he was
- Some dude got beef with Gabe because: He stalked some dude who went to more furry conventions than he did during his 2015 bender, got their WORK PHONE NUMBER, then proceeded to harass them
- Someone who runs staff at BLFC was also present in Cani Lupine's chat during Gabe's shitfit about Tol, which may explain why Gabe was still allowed to compete in the 1st place
So about the people who booed - because there were multiple of them. One was walking around during the set and booing before being approached by security.
This is the guy who (I think) also yelled " Trans Rights are Human Rights. "
There seems to be a bit of a misconception, which is that people think he was escorted out by con staff security. However, this individual would later go on to clarify that
he left voluntarily
Shoutout to Blue though for being willing to do some leg-work with Con Staff. Below are screenshots from the BLFC Unofficial Telegram group.
Also lol people are making fun of Gabe for wearing khakis
The second person to step forward
had this to say
Based on replies found in this tweet, there appears to be more people who participated. If/when they step forward, I'll add them here.
A lot of people (mainly furries who haven't come to terms with how poorly cons are run yet) have been asking how Gabe was allowed to compete. There are some questions to be answered there for sure, given
this tweet from Hogwash, one of the judges during the Dance Competitions Finals.
This can in fact
be verified
As best as I can tell, there were 3 judges for finals. I'm not entirely sure who the 3rd judge is yet, but the 2nd judge is
this person
Someone named ISO also may be responsible for designating preliminary judges
I personally think there's someone on-staff who's covering for him but I'm not quite sure who yet. People think that Hogwash is in on it but I honestly don't think so. He doesn't seem the type to want to willingly attach that kind of baggage to his name. I'll come back and add any relevant info to this section if/when I find it out
After all is said and done though, did Gabe win?
No.
Did he even place?
Also no lol
Continuing, there was obviously a lot of back and forth between Gabe and... pretty much everyone on Furry Twitter who went to BLFC. It's literally hundreds of fucking tweets. I have archived a good chunk of them but I'm not reposting all that shit. For long-time viewers of the thread, you know the drill.
" Blah blah cancel culture "
" Blah blah Kiwi Farms fake & suicide baits "
" Blah BLAH blah out-of-context "
" Blah blah liars, defamation, slander "
" BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M A JEW SO THEREFORE IT'S OK TO TALK TO NAZIS "
I'll highlight a couple of things and leave it there
Whenever he moves onto the next con/furmeet & has shit like this happen again, this section will be expanded. Stick around!
