>>16940397Some of the sad highlights not mentioned in my previous posts include (but are not limited to):
Socially awkward people who can't dance in what apparently was supposed to be some sort of... disco room(?). Wouldn't have been too bad if it hadn't been for the fact that like half of them were wearing fursuits. It was a sight to behold. I have tried my best to wipe this memory from my mind, but I still get vivid flashbacks sometimes
Strategically placed holes. I guess it's appropriate to show up to a furry convention in a fursuit, but please at least have the decency to properly cover your junk. Seriously.
The smell. The fucking smell. Jesus fuck.
That one guy with the litter box. I didn't ask. No one did. He insisted on talking about it anyway in exhaustive detail.
The sheer desperation in the air. It was almost palpable. I mean, okay, if you go to cons to get laid that's your thing, but try to show a tiny little bit of common decency, please. Luckily most everyone was too socially inept to talk to me and I guess I kind of stuck out like a sore thumb, but I still had to endure all kinds of creepiness you can't even begin to imagine.
The music. I just have to mention this again, it was just that bad. Obviously most fan conventions are going to have amateur DJs and you simply can't have huge expectations, but that guy was just beyond terrible.
So, yeah, I got out of there pretty quickly. I've never really labeled myself as a furry, but this little event made absolutely sure I never will.
My now-ex also got pretty upset because I left early and didn't like his furriends and there was all kinds of drama over it which is actually pretty hilarious in hindsight, but that really doesn't belong here.
Please excuse the terrible formatting and... everything else, but it's late and I've had a few drinks.
Also please excuse the blog post, but I guess this qualifies as cringe and after all you guys did ask. :3c
