Gonna mention the Emma incident. Because for as much as pedophiles like to pray on children in this fandom they won't hesitate to bully a 10 year old because her suit was from walmart. What's worse is they allegedly resorted to physical violence against the kid.

Worth noting if only for the fact a bunch of people went around harassing anyone with a mouse fursona while other's chased the kid's clout.
BLFC isn't cancelled this year either it's postponed, which means it's going to have a much bigger attendance as the fall out of drug addicts from other cons are desperate to get their fix. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up rainfurrest style, especially considering it's infamous for drink spiking and drug parties.

Since we're on the subject of con drama, AnthrOhio had drama last year which furries in the area endlessly talked about. It wasn't from anything with the con itself, but when an IRL/troll streamer named Jonathon Hills (a public access inspired stream by a guy playing a character) livestreamed his con visit, only to get kicked out and screeched by furries. He was ejected from the con faster than any known sex offender would be from most furcons. This was because apparently his fanbase consisted of exceptional kids who decided to make prank calls about fake threats (it's talked about in this video, around 52 minutes in or so).
The livestream video was DMCA'd by Pepper Coyote, who appeared in the stream and was angry about how Jon redistributed the audio of his music like it was wealth.
Jon's take in the comment box of the con horror stories video:
Edited down stream on his channel:
Full 1 hour bigger, longer, and uncut stream:

The video uploaded there now is half the length of the full video, but I found it on my HDD. It's way too big to upload here (an hour long) but I'm going to shrink it down a bit so it can be easily uploaded.

I believe Morphicon is one of the oldest furcons right? I know Confurance was like the first.

Have you tried 7zipping it? It would be cool to have in full even if you gotta download to watch.

Back to funny. The guy owns a large number of furry convention LLC's is a dumbass with a Hit & Run record apparently. So what was he up to recently?
Decided to see if there was anything else worth noting and pulled this up.
Worth noting the guy who's responding has a thread here already for being a fucking pedophile. Tweet archive
Let's do a small dive, shall we?

I had archived this tweet already after going through & doing a mass archival of Growly's Twitter. Thought the name sounded familiar.
Archive of the tweet from the screenshot. The person has deleted their account since
Archive of the Google Doc. The archive is incomplete, hence why I backed this all up via screenshots
Some additional info can be found here. Apparently GROWLY was threatening Trebel in a Telegram group chat which somehow resulted in a falling out with Tye. This was happening at the peak of the Kero leaks so likely spurred on by that

7-zipping won't work, so I dropped it to Mega.nz. The problem with 7zipping a compressed file is it won't compress it any more. Being a one hour video, the only way I could make it fit here is if I shoved it under the 100mb limit. I'm encoding a low res copy anyhow for Catbox.moe uploading. While that'll be lower quality, it will be barely over the 100 limit and below Catbox's 200 limit.

I have some con drama stories to tell regarding a smaller furry con called Furpocalypse. Nothing that really compares to Rainfurrest 2015, but things I wanted to share anyway.
Furpocalypse 2014
Furpocalypse started out as FurFright in 2003, hosted during Halloween weekend in various places around Connecticut, but spent the last years of its existence at the Crowne Plaza (which would later become the Radisson, and most recently the Red Lion Inn) in Cromwell, Connecticut. A few months after the end of FurFright 2013 they announced that the convention wouldn't be coming back in 2014 due to staff going through personal problems. According to a conversion I had with a current staff member the founders (Belic Bear and Ky'gra Lion) were going through a divorce and didn't want to be around each other.
Fast forward to the beginning of 2014, former FurFright staff members announce that FurFright would be coming back to the Crowne Plaza as Furpocalypse. Most people were happy to see it coming back, but a small number of furries were mad they were going on without the original founders under a new name, and planned a protest. So on the first night of the convention, about 4 people stood outside holding up signs complaining about the name and staff change. The convention went on as planned, and the only thing the protests accomplished was making the 7chan Anthrocon raid look like the Rodney King riots in comparison.
As an aside, I should mention that Belic returned to Furpocalypse as director of registration a few years later, while Ky'gra went on to found TinyPawsCon, which is notable for inviting hack "journalist" and public murrsuiter Dog Patch Press to be a guest of honor in 2018 despite advertising itself as a family friendly, all ages convention.
Furpocalypse 2017
One of changes that came about with the rebranding was different yearly themes. During the FurFright days they stuck with a generic zombie horror theme pretty much every year, but from 2014 on they changed up every year's theme while staying horror based.
For 2017 they announced that the theme would be haunted sanitarium. A fairly standard horror scenario. But some furries, being the reactionary creatures they are, decided to complain that the theme was offensive to people with mental illness, despite the fact that the theme would only affect the con book and con t-shirt designs. To be fair, this wasn't the majority opinion. Most people understood that the haunted psych ward trope comes from a time when psych wards were horrific places. To power level a bit, I've checked myself into a psych ward twice and the worst thing I had to deal with was an older patient who had no concept of personal space. The people who were taking offense to a decades old horror trope were loud enough that from 2018 on the convention decided to put a sight horror spin on more generic themes.
Furpocalypse 2019
And now, for a refreshing change of pace, a convention that was a disaster due to hotel management being incompetent. Furpocalypse, in its later years, gained a reputation for being a dirty convention. Not due to the attendees, though there would occasionally be your standard run in with a furry who had less than ideal personal grooming standards. This was due to lax hotel upkeep, and in 2019 they brought that standard to a new low.
For starters, a number of people who booked rooms with 2 queen sized beds were downgraded to rooms with a single king sized bed, due to these rooms having a black mold infestation. The real issue is that the people who had their rooms downgraded weren't informed until they checked in. But that's only the start of the problems with the rooms. Some were saunas due to broken air conditioners, and at least one air conditioner was useless due to our old friend black mold. Some rooms had mushrooms growing in the bathrooms. One room had a cockroach hanging out on the door. The worst room had a leak in the roof, right over the room's one bed, making it completely useless.
The leaky roof didn't end with that one room. Most notably, they had to move the con ops desk because the roof was leaking over it, and they had to cancel the Friday night movie at the pool due to the roof leaking over the projector screen. The pool was also useless, due to, you guessed it, a colony of black mold at the bottom of it.
So how did it get so bad? I'm assuming it's because 2019 was the last year Furpocalypse would be in Cromwell. Hotel management, knowing the convention was moving to Stamford in 2020, most likely decided that, since they already had their money and the convention wasn't coming back, they didn't care that the hotel was a giant health code violation. Predictably, people demanded refunds and the hotel for review bombed by angry attendees on Google. As of now, Furpocalypse 2020 has yet to be cancelled due to coronavirus, and the Red Lion in Cromwell has been out of business since January 2020, when the Connecticut Department of Revenue and Services revoked their sales and use tax license.

I know of one artist who pulled out of Furpoc 2019 because he got sick from the dingy hotel in 2018, but 2019 was so much worse.

Speaking of trolls: this one is kinda funny because both the troll and youtuber make idiots of themselves. Just leaving it here for double lulz.
The troll fucks up by making sexual advances on a minor in front of her mother. He even straight up talks about raping wannabe "popufur" Candypaws. Candypaws however is so thirsty for attention and confirmed learning disability she follows the troll just so she can plug her face on his stream. Multiple times. The comment section is exactly what you'd expect.
The mess begins at 11:50

Oh fuck, I forgot about the leak in front of the door and there person almost getting KO'd by the ceiling tile.
On a side note, when the news broke that the hotel was forced to shut down the consensus between me and some people I talked with about it was that it was more surprising that revenue and services shut them down instead of the health department.

Did anyone ever look into that? Because that sounds... sketchy. I wonder if the place was just a front for money laundering
