Ok. I heard about some stuff going on at another convention and someone had to bring up "Well.. why shouldn't this convention become more family friendly? If we have to censor the adult artwork and make up alot of rules to keep people from having a good time and looking over their shoulder.. then why shouldn't we do that?"
Note this is the SAME con that had people talk to some idiot on the street that was with the howard stern show.
So when Snapai posted a journal about how said con was going to run their artist alley and someone piped up.. actually a few people piped up about how all cons should be more family oriented.. I posted this.
Find this whole thing about AC should be family friendly hilarious when one of con's organizers has an alt that demolishes cities and eats people. Yeahhhhh. Tell ya what would rather go to a con, have a good time and just chill out with my friends instead of being loomed over by a bunch of security forces saying "oh wait you can't do that.. there are children present."
And by the way there are kids at pretty much ANY con you go to nowadays. If you don't want kids to look at the adult art.. then have the PARENTS do their fucking job. It's NOT the con's job to go ahead and say "Oh were gonna protect the children so were gonna make you put stickers on adult art." NO. Instead have the parents control their kids and say "Nono timmy that's not for you .. maybe when your older."
As for furs being portrayed as "sexual deviants" yeah.. that's on you. I don't give a FLYING fuck what people say about furry because they know nothing about it. Do you know I have friends out here in CA who are NOT furry and have asked me about it and the FIRST thing they mention is the CSI episode? Y'know what I do when they bring that up?
I LAUGH.
Why? Because that was all fake dude. I just say "Yeah they didn't have their facts straight. Here's a picture of what goes on at a convention." And I show them pics of fursuiters and people having fun, some variety videos and all that and y'know what they say after this whole spiel?
"That looks like fun! Where are these conventions held?"
EVERY fandom.. not just furry has a sexual side to it.. from Harry Potter, Star Trek, Horror, Anime, Sci-Fi.. hell if you even looked hard enough there's prolly porn of the wiggles and other children's programming (even the bronys!) The ONLY thing that stops the fandom from growing are the people who want to control it and y'know what?
You can't control people.
And if I have a choice where I am going to spend at least $2k for myself and my mate to go to Pittsburgh and possibly be controlled.. or spend alot less and go to a con where i'll have a good time.
What do you think I am going to pick?
I rest my case.
This is just fucking ridiculous people. With the exception of FC ANY con that I go to is a major expense. Do you REALLY and HONESTLY think I want to go somewhere and be told "Nono! You can't do that! Or you can't see that.. there are kids present."
TAKE THE FUCKING KIDS TO DISNEYLAND NOT A FURRY CON.
This is ADULT time for ADULTS. If you don't like that come back when you've grown up. God.. people are IDIOTS and I reiterate how I find it funny that a chairman of said con has an alt that loves to EAT people and SMASH cities.
God. Grow the hell up
