@FurryWeekend So close! That is a shape! 🥰
@FurryWeekend I’m fairly certain furries would be okay with not having a famous non-furry performer at the convention if it meant there was enough to house and compensate travel for the talented furry artists who are actually part of our fandom and are ready to perform
@FurryWeekend So Mystery Skulls was compensated with Registration and a gift… same as all other talented artists you book… right? They definitely weren’t paid a large amount of money to perform, right?
@FurryWeekend God YES DUDE 👏bury 👏they👏asses This is so based.
@FurryWeekend Furry cons are there first and foremost to support the furry community and the furry fandom. And this is just a big epic fail.
@FurryWeekend Furry cons are -entirely- volunteer ran. Comped badge and small gifts is all most cons give their own staff. I've spent THOUSANDS of $ on camera gear and staff cons, never expecting compensation Yet there's always DJs, dealers, etc, that think they deserve more than staff do.
@FurryWeekend well this confirms that the community doesn't respect furry musicians in the slightest
@FurryWeekend No one says it’s unacceptable when you all call us nazifurs I guess when it’s you lot who hate it’s acceptable to libel and slander
@FurryWeekend character limit moment but wanted to put this here too You cannot put the whatever amount MS received anywhere near any fairness to "free reg + gift", and that is why artists are upset. Purposefully or not, you are signalling you don't view furry performers to be at least equal.
@FurryWeekend Yikes. A: "We booked a non-furry DJ ahead of six furry artists, who won't be announced now due to drama." B: "The non-furry artist provides an experience you can't get from furry artists" C and D are PR speak E: "We comp furry artists entry to cut costs"
