on this topic, why aren't cons targeted by any seigefags/ schizo /pol/ guys? ive heard multiple cons have security thats more just people power projecting and since drugging is a major problem you could put cyanide in peoples drinks or just drug them and kill them like that one UAE prince. you can rate this horrifying/autistic but genuinely there have been threats but no one has actually done shit

Because a lot of /pol/ speds are LARPers who post online about direct action and fighting the system while eating hot pockets in their mom's basement. When the one Synagogue shooting happened the shooter was complaining about how everyone just stood around LARPing or arguing about what good optics were, ending his rant before the shooting with "Screw your optics, I'm going in". The New Zealand shooter also was hoping he'd start a war with a mass shooting. Despite this, neither of them influenced many people to actually attack places like that.

There's also the fact that tactics like gassing a con and whatnot are too high iq for people who have terror plans like "kill a bunch of unarmed old people in a church to save the white race".

Ah furpoc 2019, good time.

Place was a shit show. I'm surprised no one talked about Furpocs pool situation.

See the hotel had this indoor pool, and we'll it definitely fit the theme of horrifying. The bottom was blotchy with some unidentifiable substance. People began to speculate that it was mold and thus began the "Moldy Woldy" speculation. The hotel was extremely old, so it seemed just like wear and tear but it was pretty black.. pretty disgusting.

As most good furry cons, they advertised a photo booth where you could go get pictures. It was a corner, in the middle of bumfuck hallway nowhere land held their photoroom. A corner that only held one spotlight, a Walmart scarecrow and other cheap items as "props" it was pathetic. No photographer there to take pictures, just a vacant corner.

Good times.. good times!

I mentioned the pool briefly in my long post, and it gets shown briefly in the vine in the spoiler here. I'd say I'm surprised the hotel let the pool get that bad right before the only event they were hosting that year if it wasn't for every other problem with the hotel that year.

I didn't know about the photo booth situation. That or someone mentioned it while I was there and I forgot. Hopefully that was mostly on the shitty hotel and not the con itself, though there's no reason to not having a photographer there, because you'd think by the time your con is old enough to drive (if you count the years as FurFright and consider that pretty much everyone on Furpoc staff are former FurFright staff) you'd have figured out how to set up a decent con photo booth.

The black stuff would be black algae. Pool owner's nightmare. Shit is so hard to get rid of, but pretty easy to prevent if, y'know, you take care of your pool.

huh, you are true in how the far right seems quite divided overall. however some seigefag is going to try to shoot up a furry convention within the next several years due to the rapid growth of the far right
 
I remembered "a happening" in FWA 2017, where someone was raped and police had to intervene immediately. What did the animals in the con do?

Just make it as an entire butt of a joke, thinking its a drug bust. Sorry for the phone-screen since it is from a Telegram chat.

But I guess this is just a normal occurence in FWA? I just find it massively convenient that the con-goers immediately scream "drug bust" as soon a single strand of police (or swat team, hello FWA 2016) appear in the premises. Though it just shows what little care the FWA staff has, or always did.

Jesus fucking christ. how in the actual fuck does one chant or even think of doing that anyway? I understand that drugs seem to be a big problem at the convention, but thats just acting like a fucking dick

Drugs are a massive problem at furry conventions from what I understand; never forget Rainfurrest's cardboard boxes full of nitrous oxide and the three other drug-related incidents that year. The fact that the majority of people there assumed it was a drug bust when there could've been literally any other reason for the cops to be there is definitely a tell also; despite endless annual bitching about how dealers "ruin the 'con", the same people will gladly turn around to buy these drugs to make their room parties a little bit spicier. The only reason the supply exists is because there is a demand.
 
So we just gonna ignore the whole dichotomy of performative, armchair political furries on twitter saying ACAB, but then straight up laughing at other furs getting arrested by the cops?

ACAB! ... until a plushie gets stolen

or there's a chance to ridicule someone in a situation with the cops you know nothing about...

or when someone gets slipped rape drugs at a room party...

or there's a literal attack at a fur con...

And I get it, ACAB isn't meant to be literal. It's meant to draw attention to the injustices of the system and it's SO much easier to relate and digest it with that in mind.

But furs being hypocrites at the first opportunity of being shallow, mean spirited shits and then posing like they're real activists and allies the disgust du jour lately.

EDIT: and it's not like any of them would have the stones to do anything about rape and animal torture on their own in the fandom without the cops. They'll cheer then too, and with good reason.
 
Making note of a smaller con drama I saw in Furry General a few years ago.

FWA 2017, depending on who to believe this was a case of Furries littering as usual or those dang dirty trolls invoking the spirit of Rainfurrest 2015.

Never looked into it...

I'm going to be up front with everyone here since there's also a lot of people outside the Farms who have been trying to contact me: I'm on a bit of a break right now for my mental health. I'm still here on the Farms but I'm not digging into anything at the moment. Lot on my mind atm so I'm taking a while to decompress rather than stressing myself out more about shit.
Feelsbadman.
There have been some good tips coming out of this thread but I just haven't had the mental energy to look into it. Think I just overwhelmed myself with too much at once by doing this thread + Growly's thread less than a week apart (though most of the work overlapped, just the formatting was a bitch).

Hope everyone understands. Not like I'm getting paid for this shit so even though the work is important to me, I'm not going to force myself to continue when I'm not feeling up to it. Good way to burn out.

Take your time, dude. You make very high-quality threads, no one can bemoan you for needing a break.

Besides, even though everybody has been ignoring [uwu cowona] lately, the cons are going to take a long time to resume so this thread can afford to slow down (as it already did!).
 
My God the smell of it. Wu Flu is bad in some ways, but not having this stuff is a gain.
