There's a super-secret alternate method, pioneered by our Internet forefathers: keep your shitposting contained to an anonymous and unconnected identity and don't try to make any money off it. They can't cancel you if you're got nothing to lose and/or they don't know who you are.
The big problem with IRL communities is that people who interact with the wrong kind don't have that choice, because (for the most part) it's not shitposting that gets you, it's just not being up to date on the latest programming. An average boomer or Gen Xer isn't gonna know how not to offend one of the local rabble-rousers if they decide they want to be offended, and people do need a little coaching on how to react properly rather than being bullied.
You're dealing with the 'trash the cow no matter what they do' mentality.
Are these people that socially inept that they don't understand the fact that the group they're trying to be friends with would hate their guts if they knew their opinions?
That would be laudable if it was the content of the panel. I don't think it is, though. My prediction is that it's going to be a full hour bitching about twitter. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, of course.
Speak for yourself, I'm hoping this goes without a hitch because the outcome of that would be far more hilarious than just yet-another-new-furcon-going-up-in-flames. But regardless of how well it runs, I'm sure there will be plenty of silly and/or cringe moments to make fun of. Because furries just do that.
I don't think I said anything about this going off badly. I kind of hope it goes off great for the reeing we'll hear, as well as the "NOOO IT WAS A FAIIIILURE" cope.
Most people just don't understand that the cultural rug was pulled out from under them.
Fair enough. When you explain it like this I'll admit it does seem like something that could be fun, I've just never seen it have an entire dedicated room at a convention before.
Honestly, had no idea this was even a thing. 2 fell out of general relevancy in the fandom well before 5 years ago, so I had never heard of this. If he's genuinely been sober for 5 years now, good for him.
Actually, I think the furfags have a point here. It's obvious that the rest of the furries have infected their hobby with social justice ACAB leftypol larper bullshit. It's also obvious that those people make up the majority of furries- if you ran a pure escapism con, the politispergs would come and outnumber the people who just want to have fun (or, seeing as these are furries, nonpolitically jizz on a bipartisan pizza). Therefore, there has to be some kind of deterrent to keep the majority out. I think that what we've seen of how everyone else is reacting to "fashcon" thus far indicates that the people running this con have been largely successful in providing that deterrent. Of course, this isn't to say that their politics aren't cringe and gay as well, but they're cringe in the way that chemotherapy is uncomfortable- sure it is, but not compared to Stage 4 cancer.
I think they'd almost be useful if instead of 'omg cancel culture' they did a broader 'So you didn't gatekeep your hobby well enough' thing.
I can't even follow the fuckin' screenshots without your elaboration, but just screaming 'transphobia' is all that's needed rather than any actual support to that claim
Safety is such a joke for these people. By safety they don't want people they dislike coming to the conventions and get off on shutting out people.
I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't have serious doubts that he was actually sober considering he did his best Chevy Chase impression down the stairs of his home shortly after his big announcement.
None of my friends from this era of internet even know what opsec is, which is sad cause it's pretty important to me, but on the upside it makes normies that much easier to dox
Has there ever been an instance of a trans person getting mowed down by cops? It always feels like a black person larp when they talk about stuff like this (black trans lives matter etc)
And when an adversary practices good OPSEC, often their partner does not.
Posting threats of imminent violence on social media seems like a bad idea for prospective con attendees.
Yes for normal folk but as you can see he has the troon flag and is likely a troon, therefore he is above the rules many others are subject to. Examples being narcissa threatening to shoot employees, keffals being unbanned by troons in the ranks, and many others.
I love the ANTIFA larping. Bet you a thousand internet bucks this poser never tasted tear gas without immediately turning on his heels and running the fuck away.
Troons can do no wrong.
