@korgsart Iโve stepped foot in hundreds of furry room parties.
I canโt remember ever being offered hard drugs or being dissed for declining a drink.
I honestly believe itโs not that hard to roll with the right crowd in the fandom and find those who respect your boundaries.
โX ignored my unsolicited greeting. Theyโre a douchebag.
X responded, but they wonโt message me daily. Theyโre a douchebag.
X kept up with me, but wouldnโt spend hours with me at a con with thousands of attendees. Theyโre a douchebag.โ
What does it take to not be a douchebag?
@BouToon I strongly agree. Itโs the only feasible solution.
Virtual queues donโt solve the issue of a room filling to the max capacity allowed under the fire code.
Expand the space. Cut panels to make space if absolutely needed. The demand clearly demonstrates itโs necessary.
@eclipticafusion This. People are not entitled to your time for menial exchanges and check-ins that are devoid of any substance or purpose. Some folks like me have really limited social batteries where even the smallest exchanges are socially draining. Please respect otherโs time and space.
@Sairyswolf Itโs really true. So many minors who havenโt experienced furry in real life act like the fandom just exists on the internet.
Everything is parasocial to them. When really, weโre real people. The best part of furry is what you experience in-person.
@Tundru_AD The vast majority of folks have positive experiences with cons. Cons wouldnโt function as they do otherwise.
For those who canโt see past Twitterโs algorithm latching on to pushing a handful of folks negative experiences while the rest of us are having a blast, itโs their loss.
@JTwusky There are suitable platforms for kids to interact with the fandom without being exposed to suggestive content. It should go without saying that Twitter is not one of them. If others want a sanitized experience of the fandom, then they should go elsewhere for it.
