Will Furries Ever Go Mainstream?
AKA The Rolling Stones article One reason why I waited to post this article was because of the word used in the title “Mainstream” A lot of people read that and assumed the who article was about how “Will Furries Actually Would Go Mainstream”. Which frankly it doesn’t even talk about, in fact, the entire article is about MFF 2019 and all the internet threats, furry YouTubers and etc, in other words, try to explain what MFF is and why it draws so many and not overlooking it faults, although they didn’t get into why some parts opened late.
They go into that Milo Y nonsense and why they might have backed down from all their threats. The article does point out that MFF is fun and why it draws so many. I swear after all these threats MFF 2020 is going to be BIGGER.
Usually, I would post snippets from the article. But really I have talked about the same points on this site during my MFF 2019 coverage.
But instead, read the article HERE
Now I will address the whole mainstream issue. It depends on your version of the mainstream? MFF and other fur cons are just as mainstream as any comic book, anime or any other type of con you can think of. Companies like Disney and Converse have marketed directed to furries and I know I am not the only 1 who thinks film, TV, and streaming services market directly to us furries. The 2 biggest examples Bojack Horseman and Disney +. Do I really have to explain it? Disney + is not out there because of nostalgia, it’s because Disney has so many things that are anthro the biggest example of these are Robin Hood and Zootopia that draws people to that service. I would not be surprised to learn that a majority of subscribers are furry. I have seen many a post from a furry subscriber.
I know some will disagree with me but to me furries are mainstream.
Found Art at MFF 2019
It was the very last day of MFF 2019 these 3 people just got up before I sat down at this table. That’s when I saw these…
Maybe to provide that this isn’t some lost art. These were on the back of this…
MFF Possible Solution to The Line Con
Waiting on the email, more tomorrow
22 Days Until MFF
Current circumstances will make my annual coverage of MFF tough…but not impossible. It will be reporting on what I see and hear from reliable sources. My video coverage will be different this year and it does not involve my current problems. It’s just a matter of numbers, it seems most of you like to read what I like, rather than watch me in a video…and frankly I can’t blame you. Besides I get nervous in front of a camera, even when it’s my own.
To me, usually Panels are my main focus, but this year seems to be the worse. If I do go to any, it will be the fewest in my 7 trips to MFF. Even on Friday, the day I usually pick up my badge. I am totally unsure if I will even be there that day because there is so little to do.
But it will be covered, in a way, I won’t be able to explain until after MFF. Given certain circumstances, that is beyond my control. Speaking of which Milo Y. beyond that, I won’t mention his name. But it is easily found on Google and why he is even mentioned. Is because social media is all a buzz, over some sort of demonstration, by him or his followers or both. Then there is what a Police officer told me privately, that MFF will have increased security this year. So I advise everyone, don’t cause problems. Security will be monitoring the Fire Alarms during the entire convention.
No wonder some have decided to skip MFF 2019.
No one is 100% positive everything will go smoothly, we will have our fingers crossed and that’s it. That is the best we do give the rumored hate groups that claim they will be there, and will they be able to do anything? Your guess is a good as mine.
Cameras will be at the ready and I advise everyone to keep your handy, you might need it.
Security and MFF
With all that talk from Milo the nazi and MFF releasing that statement over that idiot. I know some have concern over their safety, like when Furry Broadcast Network said they had changed their plans by not going to MFF this year. That is their own business, but I have no concern and let me tell you why.
Security at MFF is tight, in addition to the 1000s of cameras placed in and around both the Hyatt Regency and the nearby convention center. Armed security is always available in the form of both armed security by the hotel and the local law enforcement agencies. I personally saw Rosemont Police, Cook County Sheriff Officers, the Illinois State Police, TSA, and Homeland Security at the convention last year. A dealer in the Dealer’s Area even said to me that in addition there were undercover FBI and Secret Service agents there, many of who were turned furry by the convention due to the fact fursuits were being ordered.
There have been 2 acts of pure idiocy since the gas attack. One was the Confederate Flag Fursuiter and that uniformed neo-nazi shouting racist rants. The Police were there during the acts and both were arrested and banned permanently. It wasn’t like anyone had to wait for the cops, they were there less than 2 minutes according to witnesses. Which means they had to be there On-Site.
Midwest FurFest 2019 Official Expansion
Yesterday on MFF Official Discord Channel they released the floor plan which includes the newly expanded Dealer’s Den
This is a major expansion what was the Dealers Den is now the 2nd Stage, Panel Rooms and Headless Lounge. Artist Alley which was located on the 1st Floor is now on the 2nd where the 2nd Stage was last year. I think the biggest news is the Dealer’s Den is now in an area nearly twice as big.
MFF Phase 1 Get Registered
I have officially completed my Pre Registration for MFF 2019, I will be there as a Sponsor. Once again I tell you my reason why I did this. I don’t want to wait another 2 hours and 11 minutes in line like I did last year.
