I'm not trust fund baby enough to know how much audio equipment you need to make music audible in a hotel room but for some reason I think this might be too much. For some reason burger furries are incapable of having a room party without having their ears blown out by some cunt's 180dB Soundcloud EDM
I'd heard of stuff like this, but seeing their little mini lighting scaffold there: just lol. At some point someone was going to have to put their foot down on 'events' like that.
Everything else aside 'Castor Wheels' is a pretty funny name for a beaver.

You missed what is apparently the full set in replies:

The replies are also mostly insane. Furries used to be able to laugh at shit on occasion. No more.
You can say "i wanna kill all weebs,cookie run,forsaken fans and bronies" and most will laugh with you and even at them. But the moment you make a joke about furries or therians then both communities and even non furries/therians (mostly leftists) will dog pile you and start harassment campaigns against you.

Doesn't surprise me since many also get mad at tactical suits and military LARP at conventions. Remember the bomb voyage drama?

So far those who have no problem with this kind of stuff (and the other previously mentioned things) are what I call the chudfurs. A community of mostly right wing furries (yes they exist)

Why do you need to go to a dealer den at a con in fursuit. Never understood this. You're not going around shopping while in a bulky bodysuit so please explain what you are doing in there other than blocking aisles in the most obnoxiously spatially unaware manner possible
I had a friend who was at the convention explain to me what the guy in the tweet was talking about. It's more about how Fur The More handled their hotel setup this year. They partnered with two historic hotels that are basically right next to each other. The main hotel is the Lord Baltimore Hotel, and the overflow hotel is the Kimpton Hotel Monaco, the one with the marble staircase in those photos. The way they split things up is part of the problem. Main events and panels are in the Lord Baltimore, while the Dealer's Den and Game Room are over at the Monaco. So right off the bat, everything's a bit spread out and not super convenient.

What the guy on Twitter is specifically talking about is how those spaces are set up inside the Monaco. The Dealer's Den and Game Room are on the second floor, and when you walk into the lobby, you're immediately faced with this big marble staircase. You can either take the stairs or walk past them and find the elevators. The issue is that it's not very obvious that you're supposed to skip the stairs and keep going to the elevators. So instead of this being a "fursuiters shouldn't be in the Dealer's Den" thing, it feels more like someone could easily assume there's no elevator, take the steps, and slip and get hurt on them.

Here's a better angle of what the entrance looks like:

Apparently, things weren’t much better at the Lord Baltimore either. The ballroom used for main events was on the third floor, which made it a hassle for fursuiters trying to get to things like the photo and parade. From what I’ve heard, the parade route even had people going down multiple flights of indoor stairs, which honestly sounds like it could’ve easily turned into a serious tripping hazard.
 
So instead of this being a "fursuiters shouldn't be in the Dealer's Den" thing, it feels more like someone could easily assume there's no elevator, take the steps, and slip and get hurt on them.
What kind of fucking retard enters a modern day hotel and genuinely allows themselves to believe there are no elevators, regardless of the "elegance" of the entryway?

It's an American conference being held in the US -- and the ADA isn't exactly a "new" thing. Hotels haven't been allowed to go without standard handicapped-accessible accommodations for decades now.

Then again, the thought of these idiots self-selecting for gene pool bleaching delights me, so I fully support the way this has been "implemented" by the hotels involved.
 
Saw this tweet randomly pushed to me, and it caught my eye. TLDR: Furry Weekend Atlanta rejected a proposal for a meet and greet for furry Veterans and First Responders.

Now, call me crazy, but I'd like to think those are groups many people would agree make meaningful contributions to society (or at least as meaningful as they can, considering everything else the fandom produces).

I was curious what panels could be considered more important, so I took a look at the FWA schedule (which can be viewed here) and took screenshots of a few panels the convention prioritized.

I was going to say something about how these people really love prioritizing stupid shit... but interesting development. Right when I was just about to hit the post button on this, I looked at said furry's page again, and not even an hour ago (as of this writing), they stated that FWA changed their mind and accepted the Veterans and First Responders meet after all.

I'll give FWA credit for at least admitting they fucked up, but it does make me wonder how on earth something like this happens in the first place.

I always wonder how there are events that "center BIPOC/femme/femme-presenting/all who respect the space" that aren't just saying "Anyone can come if you're not a cunt." but they're not really saying that, are they? It's like how GDQ's event Frame Fatales which was originally created to celebrate women in speedrunning now says "It is a space for you if you identify as femme or a woman in any way that is meaningful to you. Cis, trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming individuals are all welcome to join the Fatales community!" So basically, they're just excluding straight guys and gay guys. But somehow that's okay.

Related to the Veteran Furs panel, I think they got a bunch of backlash and thought "Wait, we should probably let that one in."

But as a veteran, why would you even bother patronizing such an event even if they changed their minds? Their initial call was to tell you to pound sand because they had to make room for gay niggers. Any self respecting former serviceman would turn around and never look back. They showed their true colors.

You'll be listening to some fruityloops tracks and an attempt at DJing for four hours while being reminded over and over that the person doing it is a heyahoya or a hood nigga (went to a private school and his name is Clarence) and you pretend it is fun because otherwise it would be racist

Trannies hate anyone who contributes meaningfully to society as a whole. It was likely rejected by some greasy haired freak with pronoun pins covering his dirty "I Love Lolis" shirt.

I'll contain my powerlevel as best I can, but it's because they did it on purpose. A conscious decision was made at the programming level to exclude that event.

I have no concrete evidence of it but a lot of conventions post covid have implemented policies that outright ban military cosplay, equipment or any form of reenactment in order to make their conventions more "friendly" towards the current generation of furries who overwhelming reject anything related to the professionally armed world. FWA has these policies in place. Although they are meaningless because of things like LEOSA, authority retention of LE officials, and certain military uniforms being authorized for "appropriate leave and liberty" for service members.

I won't lament greatly about the fandom perpetually being 21 years old and getting more and more progressive but its clear that people who belong to a lethal profession and have overlap in the fandom are excluded or given the cold shoulder, although it is rarely openly done. At least, not yet. I don't know how many other furry lolcows have outright said it other than Sparx but to the fandom the military is now on par with or being a "double" fed.

I think that the convention rejected the panel on purpose and when they couldn't fill the slot or the optics turned bad enough they reneged. But I agree with @Barry Williams I will opt to not hold the panel period.
 
In a move that I will assume is shocking to pretty much nobody, the controversy-ridden New Jersey-based Garden State Fur the Weekend is (probably) defunct.

On the surface, it's really not all that surprising given all the controversy and drama over the event. For an event that was supposed to be scheduled for May 2026, there hasn't been a single sign of life on their social media in over ten months. This was the final post they made on their Bluesky, shortly after the convention.

What I do find odd is how I found out it was possibly defunct in the first place: someone edited it into the Wikifur page for GSFTW.

(current edit)

What makes this strange is that the account that made these edits (Soothsayer) joined recently, only made edits to the GSFTW article and nothing else, and inserted huge sections of text with absolutely zero citations.
1776497511890.png 1776497551124.png

A mod would later edit this version, only adding several "citation needed" edits but keeping the rest of this intact.

Don't get me wrong, I would genuinely be shocked if GSFTW is somehow not dead yet, because all evidence suggests otherwise. But I do think the way this was edited onto Wikifur is somewhat suspicious.

I did expect this was the case. Furries are willing to allow zoophiles and pedophiles into their conventions, but anyone who has risked their life to protect their country and the people in it are persona non grata by default.
