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

CC is trying very hard to reverse the negative image the furry Fandom has of him with his latest post. He probably has no social life outside of the fandom.

The original block did sell out, but they overestimated how much interest the extension would get.

This one is the most likely. FD is a mid size con that only attracts locals. They probably overestimated their own growth when the appeal of that cons is its one of the few northeastern cons during the summer. That and North Eastern furries are the most insular group you could imagine.

Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason why they're so insular? I find the regional differences/manifestations of the broader fandom to be quite interesting. The Texan/southwestern scene (at least on the surface) appears to be much more gregarious and outwardly-focused.

Yeah, I could right an entire essay on this but a lot of if is alot of groups would form then a pedo/rapist/zoophile would get outed. Then it also is because the North East especially New Englanders can be very reserved and warry of outsiders.

I do enjoy the west coast and southern furs more even if they come with their kwn baggage like the fact they all keep burn books on each other for blackmail.

My theory? Nepotism, plain and simple.

If you compare staff lists between northeastern and eastern U.S. conventions, there’s a massive overlap. Numerous furries work across two or more events, including Anthro New England, Eufuria, Furcationland, Furgeddaboutit, Furpocalypse, Furrydelphia, Fur the More, and New Year’s Furry Ball. They’re all guilty of the same closed-circle staffing.

Furgeddaboutit is especially egregious, simply because it was born as a “fuck you” con aimed at Garden State Fur the Weekend, and it’s entirely staffed by people already entrenched in those other conventions.

This nepotism bleeds into their ban lists, too. If you’re banned from one, chances are you’ll be automatically banned from all of them. In theory, that might sound like a smart safety net. In practice, it’s led to multiple situations where someone in charge just starts banning people they don’t personally like, without due process, recourse, or even a clear explanation.

Without naming names, I know of at least one event where the owner is infamous for banning people over increasingly petty reasons. My personal favorite? Someone got banned just for disagreeing over which album by a particular musician was the best. That person is now preemptively banned from the whole circuit of conventions over a fucking music opinion.

In the Northeast, the only notable events that don’t seem to play ball with this clique are Anthrocon and Garden State Fur the Weekend. And don’t get me wrong, GSFTW had plenty of problems. But look how fast the others rallied to try and cancel GSFTW alongside establishing Furgeddaboutit. There is no doubt in my mind that the same pool of people would be gunning for Anthrocon too if they had the resources or the reach.

If you compare staff lists between northwestern and western U.S. conventions, there’s a massive overlap. Numerous furries work across two or more events, including Further Confusion, Biggest Little Furry Con, Pacific Anthropomorphics Weekend, Galactic Camp, and Rainfurrest. They’re all guilty of the same closed-circle staffing.

PAW is especially egregious, simply because it was born as a “fuck you” con aimed at Further Confusion, and it’s entirely staffed by people already entrenched in those other conventions.

Started comparing in my head for a laugh and had to get my thoughts down.

It's very likely to be true. Somehow the people with power in conventions always end up being a bunch of babyfur diaper shitters that collude to fuck over anyone that is uncomfortable with their extremes. There's absolutely a lot of nepotism going on.

I mean, I won’t stop you if you want to write an essay on it. This is pretty fascinating con/scene anthropology lmao. The southern/southwesterners being more sunny in disposition but keeping burn books on each other sounds pretty fitting. I think the Texas scene in particular is becoming its own beast - no pun intended - because there are so many cons within the Texas Triangle. DFW, Austin, San Antonio and Houston all have their own smallish to large cons.

Doesn't the Bible have a part about sex with animals being a stone-able no-no?

These sorts of discussions are why this website exists. I'll gladly read your psychogeography of Texas furs.

The "nominally" is doing the heavy lifting there. Though any Christian would agree that God's forgiveness is open to him if he were truly repentant, his continued public goonerism throws his sincerity into doubt.
 
"AI Generated foot fetish furry porn" is a term they would have burnt Crusader Cat at the stake over when the Crusades were happening.
 
ANE updated their medical policy for 2026.

Masks still required, LMFAO, you can't make this shit up. Why is ANE the only furry con still requiring this? "ohh we take place in the winter" So do a ton of other cons. That shit should have been optional years ago.

Edit: Looks like I sorta mis-read it, you only need to mask in certain areas. But still. Lols

Because troons. They loved masks because it helped them disguise their face. Sure enough, the "co-chairs" for the convention are married and "Flint" is an FtM.

That's my theory anyway.

ugly people can literally always wear masks, they've done it long before covid when medical masks were a cool delinquent symbol
and in fact fursuit heads themselves are masks
if they just wanted to hide their face they can do that, they don't need to "normalize" it when it was already normal and they don't need to order others to do it

this IS about covid, but not covid the virus, rather covid the ideology
this is them saying "we WERE right, we're NOT owned, we're NOT backing down, we WILL double down!" so you can't say they ever made a mistake
this is about the political signaling that comes with covid panic, it was politicized, now they need to show their adherence to the 'right side of history'
 
It's part a virtue signal from the left to show that they're "just good people, have some compassion, chud" and troons thinking that wearing an uwu cute medical mask will totes help their linebacker looking ass in an Amazon spinny skirt pass.
