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

Oble defending herself on the nitro issue

 

[Pinball 2000]

Holy FUCK, I just found out about CCFC getting in huge shit. I'll make another more researched post later, but I want to summarize what happened right now. First off, I'm not sure if the final tweet was archived before Nitro wiped the account (as well as his own) so here's a screenshot for posterity:


So if you all remember, a few weeks ago, I managed to get in contact with a few former CCFC staff who caught wind that Kiwis were talking about the event in this thread. They seemed willing to talk, so I decided to reach out and personally chatted with a few of them, which I then wrote a huge-ass writeup on for Kiwi Farms. If you haven't read that yet, I strongly recommend checking it out first to get context for how poorly Nitro ran the event. But for the sake of convenience, I want to highlight this part:

-Most American conventions are labeled as a 501 nonprofit organization, but Lifty can’t find any evidence that CCFC was registered as one, let alone registered as anything.
-None of the staff can verify how much money was raised for the charity (suspected around $2K-3K) and nobody can find any evidence that anything was donated to the ALS foundation (CCFC’s supposed charity).

So from what I can tell, Tripp (who was one of the staff I talked with) decided to finally make a public call-out about it on Twitter (archive) to which Nitro responded to by going into Delete Fucking Everything mode, which is not at all suspicious. Most of what Tripp wrote here is pretty much identical to my earlier writeup but I'm going to include it here:


I'm currently going through archived posts and I'll have a more fleshed-out post later, but for now:

From lurking in a few chats, some lolcows themselves, including Saphy, have decided to take matters into their own hands for clout to spread awareness. As many people do when they have little to no connection to a subject under fire, right?

 

[Pinball 2000]

I reached out to Tripp again, he said he would be willing to do another Q&A for the Farms. I also managed to get into contact with two other people with very intimate knowledge of CCFC who only agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity. While I can't say who they are, I can verify the two anons are not any of the clout-chasers previously mentioned a few posts ago.

If anyone here has any questions you want to ask, let me know and I'll see about getting another writeup organized within the next day or two.

This aged like milk.

EDIT: So someone archived his Twitter, but it looks like he didn't spew any tard cum before went into DFE.

Am I the only one that feels bad for the guy a bit but then completely throws it out the window when I see that he used his college money to pay for anything furry? Im sorry, but anyone that uses that money for anything BUT college is a retard of the highest order. You cant file bankruptcy, the interest can be what ever-when ever. Your better off trying for a normal loan of sorts or really any other option.

So congrats, you used your college money and got screwed, how were you surprised? Its not like this is hidden knowledge, why would you do this!?

 

[Sneed's Feed And Seed]

So something just occurred to me.
Isn't Further Confusion's parent organization a 501(c)(3)? Then what are they doing posting stuff like this? (Archive)
In case you're confused as to what I'm talking about.
And their parent company's website.

Do we have any lawyer Kiwis? It'd be hilarious if the ones reeing about Trump's tax returns were themselves busted for tax evasion.

This is a fucking laugh and a half considering cons have resisted the push for more diverse programming and especially DJs at dance events for *checks notes* going on ten years now. The fandom is lousy with generic dogfucking bro-step DJs like Tekfox and Firr. They literally all play the same dated, uninspired drum and base crap and the crowds eat it up because most of them don't give a shit what's playing as long as they feel like they're getting a safe social experience with other furs.

These guys can't find DJ work outside the fandom for the same reason 2 isn't a real comedian.

I'm all for actually making the fandom more inclusive of BIPoC, I just

1. Don't know what that push would look like (other than listening to them more often)
And
2. Most furs don't really give a shit beyond posing for social clout. It's not a priority in their lives OR a lived experience.

The furry fandom is VERY hwhite and crusty and that is the direction it'll probably stick to because people aren't in it for racial justice or social equity. They're there to jack off to cartoons and dog dicks.

Tripp shared a post to clarify that he offered the 15K, but he didn't actually send it (although he was really close to). Here's what happened regarding that:

how are they promoting a specific political candidate?

Last year's FWA was probably one of the few cons that didn't grab some musician from outside the fandom and most of the ones in the fandom don't even have a chance of making it outside the fandom. Before Lapfox/Renard was canceled for the groping thing all the way back in the early 2010s he was probably one of the few furry musicians who had a chance of making it outside the fandom. He also drew extra large crowds at Anthrocon as well. Then that happened and his opportunities dried up.

I'm pretty sure Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee by now.

you're really gonna need to point this out clearly because I'm not seeing where they are endorsing Biden. you just linked a tweet with the BLM page unless there's something obvious I'm missing

I'm not sure if this goes here, but - Anthrocon's taking their turn to kowtow down to BLM:

Something tells me that down on their knees sucking cock is a VERY familiar experience for the AC board. Hope they remembered to put down a pillow.

FE's announcement was even better. They want you to educate yourself by watching John Fucking Oliver, along with trying to get more PoC guests and all.

We will be making a specific initiative, both reactive and proactive, to engage members of the community who feel unheard in order to identify challenges for our event on a whole.

• If we’ve overlooked equality and equity in our processes, or you don’t feel you have the same ability to be represented whether you identify with these current world events or if you feel marginalized in other ways, we would be happy to hear from you at diversity@furnalequinox.com.
• We will also be proactively reaching out to members of our fandom who identify as part of the affected community and ask if there are items that we as an event can do better, encouraging an active change of culture at Furnal Equinox.

Additionally, we will be further evaluating our event policies to ensure that we’re not unintentionally advocating for or ignoring causes of concerns for our attendee base. We appreciate all the recommendations and suggestions that have been forwarded our way directly and over social media.

Watching furcons turn into woke banworld is going to be fun to watch from afar.

First, I will state for the record that John Oliver's a complete tool and the only time I enjoyed his work was when he was getting dumped on by the lead characters in "Community".

And second - watching the entire fandom turn into woke banworld, and the resulting cancelling of some very annoying furries, is going to be very popcorn-worthy.

 

[Tennis-Ball-Tony]

I'm pretty sure Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee by now.

If you donate to Black Lives Matter, it will take you to Act Blue, which funnels money into democrat candidates.

Does AC even have any black people on staff?

None that I know of, other than Witchiebunny. I'm pretty sure the board of directors is all white, and the chairman Kage is, of course, so there's probably some white savior going on here I'm sure.

To my knowledge they're all whiter than cream cheese.
