Kinda funny how fursuits have always been somewhat detached from the fandom and seen more as an investment towards furcon participation. Every single person I knew who had a suit used it rather as a "physical me" of their online "me". They never got art of their OC, only photography of their suit or meetups or what have you. Look at modern furries (or women, in general, as they're a somewhat niche addition to the fandom), and it's all focus on vrchat and tiktok. They don't game, they don't buy art; they wear mascot costumes and fuck. I've never seen as many suit owners as chicks, especially in that deviantart segment. I guess it makes sense cause young girls see it as a cute creative sparkledog investment before being consumed by the attention and led astray into hotel rooms and onlyfans.
People in current year all wanna go to parties, but no one wants to host, they just want parties to show up when they need them. I guess cons get around this.
Reminds me of the skype group chat vibes: "Okay but who's there ahaha". I guess it's like modern socializing; instant match or they'll move on. Don't engage with anyone unless there's a chance for sex. Granted, Blizzcon works much the same. "This event is guaranteed to go off and you can plan months ahead for it" as opposed to "uhh George got a party on friday, maybe".
I suspect the real reason for the mask mandate in 2025 is that it helps the troons to hide their stubble, and they don't want to be the only ones in masks.
Covid singlehandedly normalized masks on faggots and troons. You'll see a gay ass twink bounce on another gay ass twink's cock, but his eyes will be glued to the viewfinder, he'll wear a mask, and he won't say a word so you won't realize it's a DUDE with that dick, bouncing on that other dude with a dick. It's kind of ironic how this sex work industry about nudity and skin being so gungho on reducing some of it. Wig, mask, glasses, gloves, stockings. If you did an AI study, 90% of the focus would be on the crotch.
Tits aren't even that remarkable anymore, they're simply used to hit a certain softcore rating to bait traction onto other platforms. White chicks used to instinctively react to a camera by pulling out their tits as some kind of halfway measure to whore out 'but not really'. Now it's simply "Mmm, I wanna post on reddit, so I'm gonna target this part of my body". It's great that the body and sex has been normalized, but now we've hit the opposite end of the spectrum and it's hypersexual pornconsumption and "wouldn't it be hilarious with a womb tattoo ahaha so ironic!! i love porn btw". But because it's a certain stereotype doing as such; vtubers, girls, anything not 'a sweaty guy in a basement', it's hilarious.
