Ready for some MFF drama highlights? Of course, you are! in no particular order:
This year, one of the pieces of con swag is a fake $25 bill with MFF branding. This message was sent in the MFF Dealer's Den reminding people not to accept the fake $25 bill:
I'm pretty sure nobody would be stupid enough to try and use this, but who knows? For the non-Americans reading this, there's no such thing as a $25 bill in USD, so if a vendor accepted that, they're beyond retarded.
"This shit shit down". I know it's a typo but I still laughed

Furries aren't brushing their teeth and they fucking stink. Imagine my shock.

Possible animal neglect?
Someone hung up magnets of what appears to be the confederate flag fursuit holding a sign that says "Trump won". So naturally, someone took the time to peel it off, tear it into pieces, ask a friend to take a picture with their phone, and then post it on Twitter.

"about to have a panic attack in the artists alley because folk just congregate at the entrance"
Someone has been putting up Bomb Voyage wanted posters around the convention. I genuinely can't tell if this is shitposting or if someone is trying to get him in trouble. Regardless, there's been a giant upsurge in people dressing up as mimes, if this random tweet is anything to go by.

Man brags about taking a shit in a women's restroom.

The heat is forced on in every room in the Hilton with no ability to turn it off, which sounds like a disaster for anyone too hot from fursuiting.

Some guy finally realized that his fursuit only gives him superficial attention. Half of Furry Twitter dogpiles him in response.

I'm including the live link for this one because it's flooded with people ripping into him, and I encourage Kiwis to read this for themselves. A few highlights I see:
Renegade Roo is back at the convention despite saying he wouldn't return after
being allegedly sexually assaulted at MFF 2023... yet in the time since, he refused to provide any details, name who did it (despite claiming he knew was responsible), press charges, and his friends raised funds on Kofi for his (still unsolved) sexual assault case. I dunno, this one just makes me feel weird. Either he was lying about the assault, or he has no problem with letting an alleged rapist get off scot-free.

To top it all off, here are some random zoomer teenagers getting escorted out for harassing attendees:
