I really think it should be ruined for everyone, so that the fandom would start to look at itself and realize doing these sorts of things are not okay in a civilized society. Just because you are at a con, does not mean the laws of social acceptance do not apply to you. I hope i ceases to exist while these people are in it.

Goodness knows no one has the sense to stop them for any other reason. Or maybe it won't and there'll be so many of these people that it serves as a containment. I don't know. Maybe the Earth will have a tectonic fucking meltdown and bury us all. There will always be some containment con. I mean someone has to hold all this literal human garbage (relatively speaking obviously) while they get all the sperg outta there system. 4 hours ago, Snagged Cub said: I imagine that whatever hotel/con is, they'll loose more money in the long run due to a hit to their reputation than they were to make from hosting RF2016 ...

They had the common sense to kick them out ASAP and really there's a very good reason they had to find a new hotel to shit up. hurr hurr 41 minutes ago, Vitaly said: That photo gave me cancer We're posting on a furry forum.

It's the fact that this stuff had been building up for a while and nobody said anything. I mean, yeah, people would speak up when it's extreme, but the little stuff gets ignored. But that's where it starts. For a close-knit community, we seem to pretend furry is some solo hobby at times. And at other times we look after those who make us look bad, and throw the good under the bus. I don't know if this has to do with the cliquish culture this fandom has inexplicably developed in the last 5 years, but damn, people need to speak up. There's a lot of good out there (like that giraffe suiter getting his suit back after the box it was in was stolen from his car), but we need to be less lenient on the party hard and public fetish culture this fandom attracts. In short, we spend FAR too much time worrying about breaking immersion (and gaining popularity) in this fandom that we tend to ignore the bad parts, and in some cases, contribute to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spot Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) You make a fair point. Which leads me to my next question: in regards to last RF, does anyone know if it were the actions of the few babyfurs that attended that were responsible for the ban, of was it a combination from all of the fetish groups? (that includes "normal" furs too). From my understanding, most fetish groups frown upon actions that deviate to far from the social norm within their own culture; that was made clear when looking over the Twitter feed from last years event. But you're right. Everyone needs to know when a certain behaviour is appropriate prior to what environment they're in.

Seems a little unfair to me. True, and I think babyfurs are the ones catching the most flak because of the diapers and everything that were strewn about. Plus that one person who was drunk or mentally ill and walking around in nothing but a shirt and a diaper. Okay behavior: wearing a clean diaper (either hidden or not), having a pacifier, having a babyfur badge, acting a bit more childlike Not okay behavior: wearing a soiled diaper, disposing of said diaper in places other than designated receptacles, acting literally like a newborn, making it more lewd than should be in public. ---------------- It really boils down to people not acting like adults, which is everyone's fault. All in all, bad RF and shame on them for once again affirming the bad name us furries have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamingGal Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 6 minutes ago, Mr. Fox said: Where do you stand with people in murrsuits or that have a BDSM fet? What would you consider okay/not okay behavior?   With murrsuits, I don't mind you wearing them in public so long as there aren't over explicit sexual features (sheath, balls, vagina, openings in places, etc) and so long as your suit is washed and clean. I view it the same as, say, having sex on your couch or backseat of your car. Sure, the sex happened there, but so long as evidence of said act is gone then what's the fuss? It's not a sex couch or sex seat now. People might have sex in their fursuit and that's fine, but don't take bedroom specific things into public unless it's a designated area (like a fetish convention that's 18+). My thoughts generally follow the same line with BDSM. I, personally, am into this fetish, and I guess I might as well pull from my personal experiences. I don't take my fetish outside of the bedroom because I'm still shy about it. The only place I allow it to be is bedroom and a website that's specifically dedicated to BDSM individuals to exchange tips and opinions and thoughts on how to safely enjoy their fetish. The people there are the same as me in that we know when it's inappropriate to allow our fetish to meld with our normal life. I'm not going to go grocery shopping with my cuffs and ballgag and covered in visible red marks. That's poor judgement and subjects bystanders to things they might not be comfortable with (of course, mainly thinking of adults with children, although abuse/rape victims as well). That being said, I see nothing wrong with, say, a collar or perhaps something underneath clothing that isn't visible to others but is known to you. And I see nothing wrong with wearing your gear/stuff in public at a designated area. Where I live there is a dungeon that is 19+ and allows people to act out fantasies and explore their kinks with others. You're allowed to wear your gear, or wear nothing at all, or just normal clothes. You're allowed to do whatever you are comfortable and willing to do with however many individuals because the area and space is designed for it.

What would you consider okay/not okay behavior?   Hope you don't mind if I answer this too. In my opinion, there's a big difference between furries wearing fetish gear vs. fetish gear in the shape of animals. Some BDSM accessories etc. can look punk rawk, for instance, and aren't inherently sexual. As long as the wearer isn't acting inappropriate in public, the end result is basically a furry character with an edgy look. Mr. Rubberhorse or Dirtydiaperguy, on the other hand, don't belong at a fur con. If I was running the convention, I'd have kicked them out. Furry cons are intended to be family-friendly events for fans of anthropomorphic animal characters. Not a fetish ball. People need to respect the fact that furry cons are for furries first and foremost, and not about kink. Not that I have a problem with adult themes in the fandom, but the obvious stuff should be kept away from minors. It's okay to have a furry fetish, but bear in mind that furry itself is not a fetish. To get all fetishy at an event clearly intended for all ages, is to crash a party uninvited and therefore unacceptable.

Xaende Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) True. Perhaps I should have been more clear. Furry conventions aren't exclusively G-PG rated, but the sections and panels that aren't are generally identified as such, to give attendees fair warning. This sort of thing isn't exclusive to furry conventions, of course. It just seems to me that the default should be for all ages, and you have to deliberately seek out the adult stuff. For what it's worth, I'd take my family to a furry convention if it was convenient and well run. Not Rainfurrest, of course, but past experience tells me that Anthrocon should okay.

Calemeyr Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) So, it seems the crinklefurs got angry. One told me "if you think RF's issues are from the fandom being too accepting of bad behavior, or if you think sexuality should be kept in the bedroom, then you're a furry republican". So basically the guy wants to have sex and shit himself in public and is throwing a temper tantrum that people tell him no. He also thinks we shouldn't root out the bad furried and try to improve the fandom's image. Though when I asked him if he was retarded, his reply wasn't "how immature of you" as it should be, it was "I haven't been diagnosed as such, so not that I am aware of". My god, this man is dense. This is the kind of people that went to RF. And no doubt they were part of the problem building up. But ultimately it's RF's fault for allowing this to go unchecked for so long, and the bystanders who did nothing. Retards will be retards, and dicks will be dicks  but you can make a difference, people. Aparently, someone notified the Spokane hotel about why RF was moving.
