Furlandia 2017 Con Report

Leave a reply

The Convention: Furlandia

The Theme:  Age of Prosperity

The Place Sheraton Hotel Portland Airport

The Dates May 26-28 May 2017

Furlandia is Oregon’s and Southwest Washington Furry convention now in its fifth year.  I brought Kiju Kitty on Saturday and Chococat plush on Friday and Sunday.

This report is going to be short because I did not attend until Friday evening due to a new job and I did not submit any panels due to job uncertainty.  I check out the space, went to dinner and took a peak at the dance. Only “adult” panes were being run, so I went home.

Saturday, I had my big breakfast at Hometown Buffet, and went back to the hotel. I checked out Pepper Coyote and Fox Amoore consort. The songs were well preformed and both Pepper and Fox kept the audience engaged. I only attended the Starfleet International panel got dinner and hang around until late. Sunday after church, I attended the dance contest finals and the closing ceremony.

The Good: Pepper Coyote and Fox Amoore consort and seeing the younger furs, most fewer than 16 having fun. Many of them made their own fursuit / fursuit heads whey was quite good.  It great Furlandia acknowledge   the under 16 furries are a part of the fandom as us Greamuzzles at the other end.

A Special shout out goes to Queenie Deerheart who preformed most of her MC duties in Fursuit.

The bad Not enough panels, I share the blame for not submitting any doe to my unemployment situation.

The Ugly the guy in the rubber dragon mask at the parade, he seemed to cross the line with his touching of fursuiters at the parade.

I enjoyed Furlandia, but 2017 maybe my last. Because my career is stuck in a rut, and a desire to more to a Republican controlled state, I may have to move to Seattle, Silicon Valley, Texas or North Carolina

News Site Censorship?

Is time  to dump furry news sites being  harmful to the fandom.

This is my response to  an article posted on Flayrah

Dog Patch Press by Patch O Fur has banned from commenting for the one time I dare to question his vision for the fandom. My response is no sweat off my back I got my own furry blog. I do not need to cast pearls among the swine.

What furry news is doing is not censorship. Only government can censor and is exclusively prohibited by the 1st amendment of the US Constitution.   Private sites property like Flayrah, Furry News, and Dog Patch press do not come under the 1st amendment and are free to set commenting policy and remove comments on their site even though it may or may not hurt their reputation. In this case, I cannot blame them. What RooView is doing is borderline harassment or just being a big pain I am guilty of this myself; due to lack of civility I disabled all comments on my Word Press blog, you can create your own blog.

There is a bigger problem with theses “news” sites; these sites were good for review furry media and events but their crusades to reform the fandom in their image have pushed the fandom off the rails. Fury fandom is about the love of art, literature, costuming, and role-playing involving anthropomorphic animals.   Furry not about some persons immature, self-centered, trigged, safe space, feelings because somebody is wears, armband, and that has nothing to do with Nazis. If one does not 2 the ranting Griffin, performances, for example, do as I do by not attending. When I joined the fandom in 2006, I was aware there is a lot I object to, from pornography, fetishism and cub furs. I realize I do not have to go to their events or buy their media and still be a fury.   I do not need to go on a half-cocked crusade of personal attacks. Now we have individuals with their own agenda tearing the fandom apart.

It time the fury fandom get back to cartoon animals than politics of persona destruction. It perhaps time to evaluate do these new sites, and ask are these news sites are a benefit or a determent to the fandom. I feel much of the drama is 50% person and 50% news bloggers continuing the fan the flames. It is time to ignore, these amateur efforts like Flayrah, Dog Patch Press, World in RooView, Furry Times, and a host of YouTube blogs as being more destructive to the fandom. If somebody objects to some expression, that person needs to deal with it or time to leave the fandom and do so quietly.

Political Correctness SJW Intolerance has Reach the Furry Fandom

2 the Ranting Gryphon will not be performing, or should I say blacklisted at Anthrocon according to his Twitter account.

According to his YouTube response the board against the wishes Samuel Conway (aka Uncle Kage), the board decide not to allow 2 to perform at Anthrocon. In a more recent video 2 reveled here was  blacklisted from  performing at Anthrocon including  performing in a melody with Uncle Kage performance and the charity  show. 2 was not schedule for any  solo shows. Both shows are still on the schedule.  He is prohibited to have access to a smaller room, or schedule during times when the main events room  is unused.  Even more baffling is Antrocons response. 2 still attracts the largest audience and if they want freshen the acts why not also replace Uncle Kage’s show and the Charity show?  Most troubling, (now confirmed)is  that  same political correct intolerance that is shutting down speech in out universities, and lead to the Hugo Awards fiasco has moved into the Furry fandom.

Fake News Antifascist Witch Hunts and Left Wing Protest

Leave a reply

There been a spat of fake news concerning  so called right wing elements in the furry fandom .  The report was constructed around a few member and tweets instead of serious investigative journalism. I dare say Motherbod has much credibility as Alt-Right and that is not saying much for ether. There no corresponding report in establish news media or mention of alt-furries  in overtly White Supremacist sites like Stormfront.
