Ren fair is where you get to drink a ton of beer and mead, eat fried food, throw axes, and watch jousting and sword fights. How can you hate that?
Because it costs five thousand dollars to consume the foods and drinks you listed (assuming you can't find them in tne trash).

I can attest that Ren fairs are fun as hell, although the roving pack of furries is always really awkward.

I've yet to go to a ren faire (I'd go if somebody else wanted me to go with them, just not interested enough personally to go), and I'm sure it's goofy as poo poo, but everybody is on the same page about it being goofy as poo poo so it seems like it'd be fine?

But yeah, wear poo poo that fits and doesn't look absurd (for a ren faire). That outfit is bad, even in the context of a ren faire.

I've been to a few ren faires and had a lot of fun, but that was admittedly before running packs of furries were a thing


Edit: I honestly don't give a single poo poo about furries it's more that I haven't been to a ren faire in 20 years so they may have changed somehow?

It's this.

What’s the overlap with ren faires and furries? I’ve never been anywhere near a ren faire (I think they’re only an American thing?) but isn’t the point to recreate ye olde England?

Furries will generally take any excuse to costume- and presumably a ren-fair has a lot of other people in various costumes.

There's also overlap in general between stereotypically nerdy pursuits. The kind of person who owns a fursuit is probably also a Doctor Who and Jurassic Park fan who likes going to ren fairs and owns at least one corset.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
The most furry thing I’ve seen at a Ren Faire are tails that people wear outside of normal clothes

Depth perception, yeah. Took longer to learn how to drive but made it easier to shoot because I focus more with one eye. Can’t catch a ball for poo poo though

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The thing that gets me about Ren Faires is that all the stuff described sounds like good honest silly fun. Dressing up in a medieval costume, drinking beer/ale/mead, wandering about in the sun, talking in a silly accent and saying Milady, Forsooth etc.

But Ren Faires also attract the kind of people to whom all of that is not goofy fun, but instead serious business(tm), and as such needs to be respected. You know, "it's a lifestyle" type folks, who do not appreciate the johnny-come-lately's who don't get it.

I should expand by saying that is an actual painting that a family friend at a dinner party just found over the toilet.

That is pretty glorious. Having a dinner party and not taking that painting down, just letting guests discover it for the first time.

One of my roommates in college had a giant poster print of someone's painting of naked Legolas (butt visible, no wang) that we also hung in the bathroom. Wonder if that thing still exists.
