rainfurrest actually had to close down because furries ruined it lol

http://orrery.prismaticmedia.com/2016/02/20/rainfurrest-2016-post-mortem/

tl;dr: furries get con, furries ruin con by being morons, con tries to find new hotel, con can't find new hotel, con dead

quote:

Multiple board members responded by saying that if we made the harassment policy any more concrete, we’d be tying the hands of any future chair of RainFurrest who wanted to work things out informally between the people involved, and we would enforce bans on socially awkward individuals who just didn’t know the rules

this is entirely anecdotal but i've met a lot of furries at various conferences/meetups (a ton of them work in STEM fields) and i'm friends with a bunch of them, and they're all pretty normal

i mean yeah there's the furry thing and some of them are suiters but if we go and get dinner or drinks they don't sperg out or anything

i might actually go to a con with them just for the experience and because i guess furries know how to party and just pack suitcases full of loving booze

I can't believe rainfurrest is cancelled this year because the hotel from last year doesn't want to deal with any of this anymore

quote:

That was the state of affairs until early December, when we’d exhausted every venue in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue that could fit us. We contacted eight sites, and every one of them said no. Not all of them said it for the same reason, but they all turned us down. We stopped looking at bigger venues around November and started looking for any place that could fit eight hundred people. We even reached out to the hotel where we ran the very first RF, next door to our previous venue. The general manager of that facility turned us down and told our hotel liaison flat out that we needed to lay low for a while to let the memory of what happened at RF2015 die down, because venues talked to each other and a lot of places knew about what happened.

from what I've seen posted here gooncamp had pretty much the same issues furry cons have

The best Freudian slip.

I'm just super uncomfortable with the idea of being surrounded by men who don't understand/respect consent, like you said. Being admired can be nice, but the meat analogy is spot-on. It feels goddamn dangerous.

Edit: That said, I get that I don't get it, and that's good.

Maybe you should make your fursona something spiky like a hedgehog or a porcupine.

Is it ok or even possible to enjoy things without wanting to gently caress it? I mean, if SA is truth nothing is safe from freaks wanting to gently caress it, share their loving, and turn it to be all about loving.

Man, you should check out some of the murals of Ancient Rome. Art of guys with huge dicks on scales against pouches of gold and rants of some dude angry about some other guy loving his wife. People have always been weird about sex.

quote:

The subject undoubtedly owed its sixteenth-century popularity to the paradox that it was considered more acceptable to depict a woman in the act of copulation with a swan than with a man. The earliest depictions show the pair love-making with some explicitness—more so than in any depictions of a human pair made by artists of high quality in the same period.

The fate of the erotic album I Modi some years later shows why this was so. The theme remained a dangerous one in the Renaissance, as the fates of the three best known paintings on the subject demonstrate. The earliest depictions were all in the more private medium of the old master print, and mostly from Venice. They were often based on the extremely brief account in the Metamorphoses of Ovid (who does not imply a rape), though Lorenzo de' Medici had both a Roman sarcophagus and an antique carved gem of the subject, both with reclining Ledas.

The earliest known explicit Renaissance depiction is one of the many woodcut illustrations to Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a book published in Venice in 1499. This shows Leda and the Swan making love with gusto, despite being on top of a triumphal car, being pulled along and surrounded by a considerable crowd. An engraving dating to 1503 at the latest, by Giovanni Battista Palumba, also shows the couple in coitus, but in deserted countryside. Another engraving, certainly from Venice and attributed by many to Giulio Campagnola, shows a love-making scene, but there Leda's attitude is highly ambiguous. Palumba made another engraving in about 1512, presumably influenced by Leonardo's sketches for his earlier composition, showing Leda seated on the ground and playing with her children.
