Babyfur close encounters: A Portal Of Evil con report

[rodox_video]

    So someone on Portal Of Evil has way more balls than me. He goes to a furry convention and meets up with an exhibit. Not one of the big-time exhibits mind you, but someone broken enough to warrant a mention. You know, one of those babyfurs that even the other babyfurs hate.

    I do have to say this: having been within visual range of a furry convention, I can assure you that the OP's description of a "smothering, inescapable miasma" of sad and lonely is 255% accurate. Kudos to him for having the balls to actually go in.

"Miasma" is a fantastic word to use.  It implies that the air is thick, soupy, and toxic; and by the end of day 1 it is an accurate description of the atmosphere around any conspace.

I suppose it's not all that surprising that the dude is an outcast among outcasts (especially if he's randomly soliciting his collection of terrible artwork and calling it a 'manga'), as well as incredibly socially inept, even for a furry (lousy fetish artists usually are).  I do find it somewhat interesting that, in one of the most under-fire sub-communities of the most all-encompassing, all-accepting fetish culture, there is still some rough approximation of an independent class structure.  I'd go on but fuck, I'm late for work.

What I really like is how other diaperfurs and infantilist artists have so much more dignity and social aptitude than this guy.  In a community where everyone can be accepted and loved no matter how far out their creations are, Chris Farrington still manages to be an outcast, pathetic wreck.  It's not exactly hard to get a booth to sell this stuff at.  Even if he couldn't... I can't think of any artists who try to sell their crap by wandering conventions and calling it "manga".

Only in Florida, or something.
