starcow posted...Biggest Little Furry Convention 2017 / 2018 maybe! there's a lot of people who i know went to both but i never even came close to seeing during either. everyone is so busy and scattered all over the hotel. at 2018 there were parts of the hotel open that i didnt even know were available until the end of the con, and there were a lot of artist friends hanging out at them that i didnt get to meet... Obellisk posted... What did you dress up as? i usually didnt dress up as anything. most people just wear their comfiest outfits, or dress up super fashionably. for a lot of people this is the only chance they have to pull out their "furry clothes", since a lot of vendors sell shirts and gear that are SUPER obviously furry and would just be embarrassing to wear in public unless you're in Seattle. i did have a cardboard cathead I wore sometimes though. GenesisSaga posted... Ever been to FWA? i would love to but its literally the farthest a con could be from me, and from now it's in the same month as BLFC so it's just, almost impossible unless I didn't go to blfc. kateee posted... what do you consider a "furry" someone who participates in the furry community. anyone who enjoys content made by furries and interacts positively with it in some way. i would say you don't even need a fursona, but everyone ends up getting one because it's just such a solid representation of who you are, what you like, what you want to present yourself as. a lot of people use it to explore gender and sexual identity as well. ...

My condolences honestly 2018 was kind of a bummer con for me. i appreciate the sentiment. i think going as a normie who is unaffiliated would be a lot more fun. no one parties like furries do. the amount of drugs and alcohol is insane. i was eating in a diner at 4 am and got a message saying a huge party just started. once you get involved in the politics of how furry circles run, though, it becomes just exhausting. everyone hates each other for very silly, minor reasons. and not to delve into political discourse, but everyone is a different level of the leftist political spectrum, so even if you agree on 99% of everything, that 1% difference will tear your relationship apart. ...

Is it just an excuse to get furries together? Are there panels or things of the sort? There are panels that run all day, every day, until about midnight. A lot of people go to them. But most people use it as an excuse to party, fursuit, hook up with like-minded others, be generally queer and open. Some people do really treat it like an anime con, though, and go to specific events and panels. Tekashi69 posted... starcow posted...Tekashi69 posted...My condolences You're welcome!

I've always wanted to go to blfc but prioritized other cons. I live closer to it than I used to now so I have better reason to try going next year maybe. I've been experiencing this deeply, myself. And I can't talk to any furries I know about it, because they're all... just... part of the problem, and would end up denouncing me as some kind of transphobic Nazi or something. norenxaq posted... a fur is someone who is interested in anthropomorphic animals. everything else stems from that.

If someone does have a problematic view I don't see it as bad if they get challenged on it, at least inherently. What I take issue with is how such a large contingent take the attitude of never forgiving people for their transgressions. People aren't going to get everything right immediately. Then you have people making these call outs a massive, public ordeal on Twitter when they could likely handle the situation with a DM conversation.
That said, I think the rhetoric about the fandom being a social field of landmines is a bit overstated, but as someone with severe anxiety I definitely feel that fear about everything crumbling from a single misstep. --- Essy ... Copied to Clipboard!

Then you have people making these call outs a massive, public ordeal on Twitter when they could likely handle the situation with a DM conversation. the problem isn't being challenged by it, so much as like, taking a screenshot and posting it on twitter like you got "the epic own" on someone, and then siccing all your friends on them like dogs. In the past week this has been a heavy topic. in the past year or so, so much of furry twitter interaction has been people trying to dunk on other people, and just trying to get their hour of feeling cool in front of their friends. it's really frustrating to see. then everyone hides on alt accounts and says poopy doo-doo things about everyone, because for some reason in furry actual discussion leads to horrible fragmenting of communities and flinging insults.

The ones by us were very unfortunate smelling and all wore odd animal shirts. And there was one little girl who was only wearing her wolf head around while her very depressed looking mother followed her around. This checks out. Everyone likes to wear their furry shirts to the airport so they can spot other furries going to the same con. A lot of the times my experience with furries in the wild is like: There are: furries :) and there are: furries :( There's also a decent amount of children at cons, or parents who bring their families, which I feel is pretty baffling. If it was up to me, furry cons would absolutely be 18+. There are certain sub-groups of congoers(who aren't necessarily furries or fursuiters, but those aren't excluded either) who like to get uhhh, steamy in public. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I thought you were a reformed ex-furry, maybe just because you've expressed disliking furries. I can understand it. It doesn't seem like they're much worse than other groups of nerds but that's a pretty low bar. I try not to be too negative, though, since I have a sense of belonging with my own groups of nerds. Some of them just suck.

norenxaq is post 80 I believe, and he is definitely not who I would point fingers at if I wanted to talk about the problems in the furry community.
At its core, the furry community is pretty cool, everyone gets a fursona or two and theres role-playing, costume making, story writing, art drawing, and music. The problem is mostly as starcow said, socially speaking, everyone is all over the place, theres a lot of hypocrisy, shaming, and entitlement. I think you'll probably see this change in the next fifteen years since youtube has made the furry community a lot more mainstream, and lots of kids who are less "fringe" are getting into it. --- werd ...
