Furry Convention Drama - Because you can't have a couple thousand dog fucking enthusiasts under the same roof without shit hitting the fan

[Corn Flakes]

I'm sure this already happens, it's just not made public.

It does. These cons are full of hidden blacklists.

Fair. But in that case, how in the hell is the banned member supposed to know if they do show up to a convention? Or is it just to make those in power feel better for a second cause "haha they're banned!"

You have to be registered in advance for most of these cons. I've seen people complaining that their registration was refused, or simply ignored until it's too late to make plans. It generally happens with more high-profile spergs who annoyed someone "important", but every now and then you see a smallfry with 500 followers on Twitter ranting about it.

Of course, if the sperg in question wasn't doxxed yet, it's pretty easy for them to sign up under a different fursona and the con staff is none the wiser unless they already knew the person in real life. And other times they just cut out the middleman, ignore the con, book a room at the same hotel, and go to the drug orgies room parties anyway.

Well shit. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing that in my time lurking on Twitter. Pretty retarded in my opinion but it is their "private" event I suppose.

Has Sangie been banned yet?

I moreso mean "This person is a trump supporter, so they're officially banned from my convention." Or.. "This person was mean to me in 2014 so they're officially banned from my convention."

Isn't that essentially what happened when MFF banned Milo Yiannopoulos for the crime of threatening to attend the convention?

(I mean sure, the people running the con probably know full well that their attendees would attack him and create a lot of drama which they'd rather avoid. Heckler's veto in action. But that's just a secondary result of him being a high profile person with conservative views.)

Milo is a huge retard magnet and seems like the kind of person you'd want to avoid having around, whereas I think the person you were responding to was talking about less famous people. People who are just known by furries, or not even that. Maybe just randoms who are within the con organizer's extended circle of acquaintances.

True, true. Perhaps relevant: I seem to recall that DenFur banned Foxler for his room-block-monopolizing stunt but didn't ban the Furry Raiders as a whole. However, judging from comments I've seen, many attendees were under the impression that all Raiders had been banned by association, and I didn't see any great backlash. So while that's not an example of such a ban happening, it perhaps demonstrates that a banning like that could be done with little repercussion.

Then again, a lot of them were also under the impression that the Raiders were by definition Nazis, which I'm sure affects the reaction.

In any case, I think not many would dare speak out to save someone banned for being a Trump supporter, lest they get cancelled/banned themselves. (Trump supporters are Nazis too, after all.) I'd say it's only a matter of time, except Corn Flakes said it already happens, albeit quietly.

He's paying the cons to sell his print-on-demand books!

DiezelRaccoon was banned from Texas Furry Fiesta, his closest con, and Furry Twitter rejoiced.

He's privated right now, so this cap is all I can show.

DiezelRaccoon was banned from Texas Furry Fiesta, his closest con, and Furry Twitter rejoiced.

Spoiler: The ban letter

While the letter doesn't say so, someone told Diezel that it's because he promoted using fake vaccine cards to bypass con requirements. And he seems not to reject this explanation.

Assuming that's accurate, it's just what we saw with DenFur--there's no way to actually enforce vaccinations, so their only option is to maintain the illusion of safety by banning anyone who points out the lack of safety.

---

Speaking of cons and requirements, Furrydelphia has announced that they're going to hold a very restrictive version of a con too. Max attendance 200-300, vaccine card required, masks required, no parade, no photo shoot, no pool. And frequent temperature checks despite that being a terrible method of screening for Covid, medically speaking.

I don't agree with the parade thing tbh. Not that I care but since everyone is going to be in full-suit, vaccinated, WITH A MASK ON UNDER THEIR SUIT, isn't that going a little overboard? Most people attend cons for the PR shit, ya know? Might as well just keep it as a VR-only event

 

[Shaka Brah]

no pool

Pool's closed due to ChAIDS.

 

[Realhat]

Don't be silly, people attend cons for the fursuit sex, non-fursuit sex, occasional non-human sex, and the drugs. At least that's how it is at my local con, I don't know how they do it in Denver or Philadelphia.

That and it's going to be held during the hottest part of a Philadelphia summer, so I'm not sure exactly what their temp checks are really going to accomplish. I guess maybe covering their asses.

I didn't realize that lol
Yeah that's going to backfire TREMENDOUSLY unless they take people into the Headless Lounge first to cool off. Even at my job, we all set off the temp checks during the summer.
Like yeah, no shit our body temps are going to register higher. It's 102 outside. What do you people expect?

 

[Corn Flakes]

Everything these cons do, security-wise, is for the explicit purpose of covering their asses and nothing else. If liability and twitter threads screaming out "I WAS RAPED AT NONCEFURCON2020" weren't a thing, most of these cons would only still have security staff because they need to make sure everybody in there paid their registration fee.

 

[Sneed's Feed And Seed]

I just wonder how long it'll take before some moron becomes chair of a big convention who has beef with other furries and suddenly a "legal" letter is sent out to said beefed furs and they're mass banned.

Either the BLFC where the Confederate fursuit was called out and banned or the Pacific Anthropomorphics Weekend wherein essentially Growly was publically banned. Next question.
I completely fucking forgot Sibe. Banned from Further Confusion for running the FXC torrent.

 

[Greywolf]

I'm sure this already happens, it's just not made public.

It does. Con starts out okay, banlists are shared "for the good of the fandum" Then a lolcow con chair who can't let anything go gets in, and suddenly his ex, his ex's new partner, the ex's dog, and their friends are banned for life.

Always the same route too, cons have a "we can ban you for no reason" rule, so that gets whipped out like a dick at a roomparty.

Which brings me onto the shining star of shit on the UK furfag con circuit, ConFuzzled. Theyve had 3 scandals this week...

first the Transphobic Guest of Honor...

one...: https://twitter.com/bunnybrambles/status/1386767978394435584 arc: https://archive.md/KfIrK
two...: https://twitter.com/keeevy_/status/1386358015729803268 arc: https://archive.md/0cmGv
and a round of "why not a furry guest?" too: https://twitter.com/swift_exit/status/1386799455769346052 arc: https://archive.md/DG1je

apparently this guy is the fave singer of one of the events staff...


Round two: Nazi on the security staff. Sure this has been on the farms. Its been known by the con since 2019...
Interesting one is they hid this guy from the online staff lists. people only found out he was staffing when they arrived on site... but of course his name is in the 2019 conbook under security...

And the knockout, a violent head of events - nee Germanshep aka "GerMANshep Pup":

https://archive.md/LXmxl

Been relayed some tales of this guy creeping on female attendees. Stealing from them then pulling their phone numbers from the con reg database and phoning them to "return what they lost". Won't take no for an answer. Real charmer.

Heard his name attached to a rape too, still digging for more on that...

Goes nicely with their also-violent Deputy Head of Events, Ekron...

But what can you expect from a con linked to Elfasi, eh?

Either the BLFC where the Confederate fursuit was called out and banned or the Pacific Anthropomorphics Weekend wherein essentially Growly was publically banned. Next question.
I completely fucking forgot Sibe. Banned from Further Confusion for running the FXC torrent.

Funny because these days stealing art thru shared Patreon accounts and Telegram groups is pretty routine... selling warez in front of the artists selling the originals, that takes either balls or stupidity.

is that the dude the sensitive furries were crying about the other day because the way he said coon hurt their baby hearts?

Has Sangie been banned yet?

Sangie, who was reportedly more into kids than zoosadist shit, is apparently banned from some cons but not from others. He was allegedly seen at 2018 Midwest Furfest, a convention that allows children to attend.

Cecil Mcfly mentions him in this youtube video at 1:49:00
