The hotel covered it to go that extra mile for their customer, not because it was actually OK.

I don't know how much money conventions like that bring in for hotels, and I acknowledge it is bad business to turn down money, but I think if I were a hotel owner I'd draw my line at furry conventions. All the stuff about alcohol poisoning and smoke detector tampering shows they were treating the hotels like their college freshman dorm room, and combined with the lovely diapers and smelly, sweaty furries I can't imagine the profit they made is enough to make up for those memories.

Popular conventions tend to be extremely good business for hotels, and to be fair to furries, my impression is that this particular con was egregious on a completely different level. Normally all you might have to deal with is people in fursuits and the oppressive odor of sweaty nerds, the latter of which is standard at a lot of cons. So, most hotels are more than happy to put up with whatever flavor of weirdo rolls in for an annual get together, but god drat you've got to draw the line somewhere no matter how many rooms their booking. As the poster above you points out, the hotel even gave them some pretty solid hints that they were abusing hospitality, but it flew right over their heads.

So was this con a babyfur convention, or was it just a more general furry convention that somehow had a lot of diapered furries and others in bondage gear? Because if it was some kind of event designed to celebrate everyone pissing themselves, it seems really weird that they would get upset at others publicly flaunting fetishes at the con (and, you know, the whole furry thing). But it really seems like it was all about babyfurs? Are the babyfurs discriminating against other fetishes? Are the babyfurs bringing children to their pissing festivals? What the gently caress?

From what I can tell it was a general furry con that a bunch of babyfurs decided to make all about their particular fetish.

Furries need these weirdos because whenever people criticize furries they can always claim the babyfurs are the real weirdos.

Th' buni is always a rabbit or at least rabbit-shaped, and always mostly female—as distinct from being mostly always female—but has been depicted as a myriad of different forms, including - a large but purely zoomorphic snowshoe hare of high animal intellect a mostly zoomorphic snowshoe hare of low human intellect and a hundred-word vocabulary - a pre-adolescent anthropomorphic snowshoe hare with the same vocabulary - an adult anthropomorphic snowshoe hare - a plush rabbit of indeterminite size - a steampunk "magitech" clockwork rabbit animated via alchemical means and overlaid with a lifelike plush coat - an anthropomorphic-rabbit-shaped sapient self-sufficient nanocolony"

The latter, that's why a number of those images essentially say "RF15: Babies and Diapers". It was unexpected, I assume. The kids though, man. Kids, even those who were children of furries, probably thought "Oh cool, Tony the Tiger!", not expecting "Tony the Tiger...in diapers"

I like how the random rear end shot was the least weird part about that photoset. I think. My weird-o-metre is broken now.

It was like a mini-goatse, which at this point in my long history of internets, is comforting. I mean, it's still gross. Why anyone finds gaping assholes interesting or sexy is beyond me. Then that teabagging photo. It's so weird how that seemed normal.

Looks like Rainfurrest turned out to be the furry convention (of which there are loads) with the most lax rules, so babyfurs centralised on it and ran roughshod over it knowing that nobody was gonna call them on their literal poo poo. Fairly sure most furry cons have a rule of 'hey don't do fetish stuff in public'. Also for a fun story about that, look up the fate of 'Oklacon'.

Is there a good write up of what happened at Oklacon? All I can tell is that the park district kicked them out because of some unspecified illicit activity (likely drugs and sex, but it must be more embarrassing in detail)

The police had to be called in because any sex with a drunken woman in Oklahoma is considered rape even if there was consent. The community claimed it was 3 new timers coming in from out of town but someone else claimed at least one of them was a staff member of the con. My friend does furry art and tells me all about this poo poo, and apparently something similar happened in a London con (handjob under the table in view of the bartender).

I had a furry friend who went to a con and described her two roommates walking into her hotel room and immediately loving right in front of her without even closing the door. I'm pretty sure this is normal furry behaviour

I'm pretty sure this is normal furry behaviour Pretty sure they'd say something like "Animals just gently caress whenever!" becuase all furry defenses is "it's what animals do". But yea, it sounds like they were afraid to step on anyones toes, to be accused to kinkshaming and other violations of the open minded code, so they had very lax rules. As people are ought to do, they used this lax policy enviroment to go hog wild. The port mortum written by the guy clearly says that they were afraid to drive certain people away, and clearly, they were the kind of people who they did want to put away. But hey, they had ribbons for desired pronouns! Priorities! BTW, I like this dude  You know there's a story behind that shirt.
