I just looked at the imgur album of RF 2015 stuff and cried. At one point I saw someone's spread open butthole. Another I saw used diapers laying on the ground. I don't wanna be in this fandom anymore. Gunna go ritualistically burn all my furry stuff.

...That's a tweet by @e_sibe, ya know, 'Evil Sibe', this guy?  http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Evil_Sibe

You're letting yourself get trolled, Mentova.   I mean, it's not as bad as Pastry letting himself believe that Taylor Swift was at the convention, but still.

Oh, so it was. I didn't actually look at the name of who tweeted it. It was like 1 out of like 120 pics lol.

That dude followed me on twitter randomly though and it scares me.

Though stripper gold thong fursuit dude?  I don't get it, I'm sorry, but for some reason I can't see fursuits as 'Naked' even if they have no clothes on.  They seem like 'Clothes+' to me or something, so seeing a fursuit with a thong on it seems about as revealing to me as someone wearing a thong over snow pants. O.o

Maybe it's hiding a particular "feature" of the fursuit.

I really wish my mind hadn't tried to answer the question of "Why would a fursuit have a thong?."

How is it that furries manage to be the shittiest attendees to a hotel? Weirdest, sure, but christ reading that letter I actually feel a little bad for the convention organizers. What kind of absolute shitlord shoves towels into a hot tub pump?

Wait... internet denizens allowed into the real world, I think I answered my own question.

No, furries are not. COGIC has done far, far worse before (and yet still the Holiday Inn allows them to come back every year.)

Yeah furfags are actually some of the better con-attendees if you can believe it. I mean yeah sometimes you get shit like Crinklecon, but unlike say business conventions when furfags get shitfaced they just kinda get all huggy and weird as opposed to angry and violent. Also they spend fucktons of money which usually helps.

Yeah, my sense is that the worst gatherings consist of people who have a strong need to "escape" their daily lives, and who interpret "escape" as being about getting hammered and engaging in consequence-free assholery.

This may be why some of the "professional" conferences are home to some of the craziest hijinks.

the thing is deviant behavior isnt a thing that is just furries

it is everyone

when i was much younger i used to travel around with my mother and we would go to the fancy food shows around america

she did it for work and i did it for the hell of it

and those people all stayed in the same hotels and went to the same bars and did crazy rowdy shit 

also a gratuitous amount of sexual hijinks 

and to top it off they were all on the clock

furries aint shit

This entire thread is the gift that keeps on giving. There's blaming and shaming, there's apologists and trolls, hyperbole and rhetoric! 

At the end of the day let's remember what I've said before: The RF con staff need to tighten up their rules, they need to get better security and they need to get on point to change the existing image of their convention if they want to be seen as something other than a "fetish con."

Until then, Emerson, Lake & Palmer hit it right with Karn Evil #9.

Update on Rainfurrest: rumor has it that no suitably-sized hotel in Seattle wants them. They may have to move to Spokane or die. I suppose they could hold their sexy-time diaper con at a Motel 6, that's why people went there anyway, right? 

 

RF dead: nothing of value will be lost.

And nothing of value was lost.

And, according to Viv at least, the only place that could host them that's within their budget in Spokane is owned by Hilton,
the same company that owned the hotel they got kicked out of.

They dun fukt.

I'm annoyed, because Seattle's one of my favorite cities, and I would've liked to have gone to a fur-con there someday that  wasn't a crinklefest clusterfuck.

It would have been much better if it was at a hotel downtown. Having it at a hotel in an industrial area near the airport was a disaster. I didn't feel all that comfortable or safe walking around outside there, especially in suit between the mIn and overflow hotel. It was nothing like my experience at FWA where I felt very welcome and comfortable suiting around downtown Atlanta and was surrounded by great resturants and things to do. RF was too isolated. It sucked the one time I went anyway. See yall at FWA ;)

Ideally out in the middle of nowhere, away from civilization. :V

So... Like Burning Man? :D

Though it's too bad that tickets to that are upwards of $600, and furs are stereotypically broke.

Yeah, and I hate SeaTac. What a shitty, shitty airport.

So what are we putting our bets on to be the next "containment con"? I mean the diaperfuckers need some place to embarrass themselves in.

A convention death pool? I like it.

AC is too far away from RF's location, too big and run with too much of an iron fist to fall prey to this sort of foolishness. Something similar goes for other large, established cons like FC, MFM or MWFF (although these other examples maybe less "run with iron fist" and more "experienced enough not to accept this idiocy"). I think those displaced from RF will need to find some convention that is relatively local and as undisciplined as RF in order to overtake and ruin it. Fortunately for myself, any con that falls into that size and geographic categorization is also under my radar.

Well I mean it's pretty much standard procedure in a lot of different communities whenever they're forced to deal with an especially horrible segment of the population that won't fucking go away. Imageboards and forums do this a lot, for example 4chan does this all the fucking time with standout examples being /pol/, /b/, and /mlp/.

Of course, so long as they stay away from here I'll be happy. Convention drama, especially when it involves socially retarded fetishists and diaperfuckers is some of the greatest entertainment on Earth.

Califur maybe? Good excuse to get rid of that ass con. So many creepy So Cal furries, they'd feel right at home.

I've never heard anything about it, but it's on the complete opposite end of the country so I'm fine with it. Then again I've never been to a con nor do I really care about them outside of drama shitstorms.

Oop, calling it now: that con will be Furlandia, in Portland.

Poor Portland :/. Portland is one of my OTHER favorite cities.

A mean and vindictive part of me wishes that all of the boors and creepers would just congregate somewhere in the Bible Belt, and leave the rest of us in peace.

Oh there's a con in Portland? Oh yeah lol they're fucked.

I can't think of many cities more willing to tolerate this kind of awful shit than Portland.

MFM moved into MISSISSIPPI... and was enjoyed by the local populace.

Take that as you will, but somehow I imagine sending a bunch of diaper-shitters into the Bible Belt isn't going to stop them. It might even encourage them.

They would slide the drawer of the bedside table where they keep the bible open.

Shit in the drawer.

Close the drawer.

Then masturbate. 

At least that's the rumour that I heard. These people are gross.

As long as they aren't doing "the gay" in public, I don't think most Southern states would care as long as it boosts their economy.

It's official, they're moving to Spokane. But they said "barring unforseen negotiation issues", so they might still be working it out.

You said "everyone is welcome," turning it into a fetish con. This then went beyond that to property damage. They didn't police their attendees strongly enough, and look what happened. The diaperfurs should have been a warning that even worse behavior may follow.

Furries are stupid.

Holy shit balls, just more and more ammunition for me to never wanna go to a con. Not surprised shit like this happens with how pathetically accepting furries are.

Still a generalization though, most cons will pass without incident with proper rule enforcement and the right group to be around

Furries are pathetically accepting? Going by the general consensus of forum goers I have to respectfully disagree. I've seen enough shit from the FAF days to prove otherwise, haven't you?

Fixed that for you

The day that the forums are no longer cheeky is the day that mankind has officially been flushed down the royal toilet

It's like a balance in the force. We can't have all these social justice Jedi running around without shitposting Sith Lords for them to fight

In my experience they've been the minority to the saps on FA with "Tolerating furs" plastered on the profile, calling people out for kinkshaming when they slander cub porn for the nasty shit that it is.

Don't be melodramatic, guys.

I've been to multiple cons, and the worst that's happened to me is seeing people run around the con space with underwear over their fursuits at AC, and having to shake off a clingy spergfur who took us having a polite conversation in passing as a sign that I wanted to be furry BFFs.

Most cons are not terrifying dens of iniquity, especially if you make a point to be smart about where you go, what you do, and who you hang out with, just like any other geek gathering.

I'll be honest with you. I'm kinda scared of furry cons. With the fandom being hypersexual and in general lacking a lot of tact (see FA), I'm turned off from them. RF reenforced this belief. But I hear BLFC is good. Probably because of hardcore security.

If you say there are a similar amount of incidents in furry as, say, an anime con, then that means a higher percentage of furries are weirdos compared to anime fans. It should be a similar percentage, not an amount. I know there are a lot of awesome furries, but it's people like those who go to RF for crinkle time that scare me away from the fandom proper.

Actually, I use fur-cons as a chance to take a *break* from sexuality and adulthood in many respects. It's genuinely nice to be able to hug people or coo over cute fursuiters without that being seen as a come-on, for example.

When I don't want to deal with sex, I just don't go into "adults only" areas like the Bad Dragon tent or adult art shows, attend "after-dark" panels, or peruse artists' 18+ binders.

I also have a decent radar for creepers and morons, and so I err on the side of avoiding people whose demeanor, body language, or appearance raises any red flags.

I get the feeling it's also the choice of con that helps. Some are easy to avoid the weirdos (MFF, FC, BLFC, AC, etc) while others seem to be weird to the core (Califur and RF). For me, the closest con is Califur, and I've heard bad things about that one. I mean, the PR staff jusr openly mocked the RF's staff on twitter. Really classy people, them.

But I suppose it isn't as bad at RF. Or maybe they are. I don't know.

I haven't attended RF or Califur, but I am inclined to agree that some cons are more "out there" than others, based on what I've heard. My sense is that a lot of it has to do with how savvy and on-the-ball the staff are when it comes to setting and enforcing the tone of the con.

It also occurs to me that it may be easier to dodge or evade the weirdos and creepers at a large gathering than at a small one.
