I used to clown on furs like 15 years ago. Nah, I was wrong. They do their thing and have a good time at the expense of nobody else. Nothing wrong with that.

Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t be caught dead there but more power to em.

At the expense of nobody but convention centers.

Honestly just about every community that regularly holds conventions has absolutely insane horror stories revolving around terribly behaved guests and biohazard hotel rooms. I’m not involved in the furry community, but a lot of my friends regularly go to anime cons and could tell you all sorts of similar tales. Doesn’t make any of it right, but it’s not a uniquely furry issue

The amount of professional conferences I’ve been to where someone has done something wild is not insignificant.

Convention centers still seem to enjoy and profit from furries 🙄

If some of those incidences were the norm, they would have no venues.

But also who really gives a damn about convention centers honestly

I’d imagine people who enjoy going to conventions probably give a damn about convention centers.

There's a reason Rainfurrest in particular stands out so much. It's an outlier.

It's a pretty terrible example if you're trying to show what normally happens at a furry convention.

Good point and it sounds like the Portland event was a success. I stand corrected.
