Hey, Preston here! Thank you for the kind words, I really really truly honestly had a great time and if you’re going next year… maybe, just maybe I will return to Anthro New England again! And we will have a conversation about synthesizers. Thank you all for watching! (I’m going to Pax EAST this month so be on the look out for that video!)
I remember a couple in their 70s wandered into Anthrocon to get to the desk and get a room, and it was the most wholesome thing ever because we all had our suits on but also wanted to be helpful. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was just awesome.
A circuit board repair panel at a furry con makes so much sense, considering that whenever someone does the "What's your job" video, like 9/10 people there are in IT.. That's honestly funny as shit...
@@waylonanimations7632 its not hurtful to the people in the images, if the people being scammed with images that are not representing what they are paying for
i use google lens on ebay after screenshotting the listing to see if the same image in the listing pops up anywhere else when buying anything. prevents potential scams if it pops up anywhere else.
Easily the most enjoyable "normie furry convention" video ive watched, he seemed to fit in with everyone so naturally and looked like he was having so much fun. Love to see it
One of my favorite MFF2023 videos was from a non-furry who just exited an event that _he_ was attending, and suddenly "wtf furries". So he wandered around respectfully interviewing a bunch of fursuiters.
@@DejitaruJin awesome, we were joking about the poor souls who just wanted to play some ports but its nice to see that someone was actually happy to check out the fur con
Heh, regarding the synth bit, given how many musicians are at furry raves, it really is not impossible a Synth meetup could actually be about Electronic Music, just less likely.
12:34 It almost always catches me off guard at first how much fullsuits can cost, but the logistics part of my brain takes into account materials, tools and time and goes; "Yeah... That makes sense."
Something something money, something Russianbadger quote, something something my address. But yeah, the effort and money that goes into fursuits is pretty cool. Same effort that goes into cosplays, military reenactments, larping airsoft fields, and working transforming armor. Got a passion? You work with it.
@@pozhiloy_d-class5192 Social stigma? Who thinks of THAT when working on a cosplay?! 😂 Though in all honesty? Too true. Especially inflation - money. Not THAT inflation - in regards to fabrics and materials.
11:30 Dragons Dojo was the name of it. Sweet things was the winner gave their medal to someone else because in their opinion was better and should've won Super wholesome :)
I bought my Fursuit on Ebay. It wasn’t a knockoff, it was a used fursuit. It looks pretty decent and I modified it a bit to look more like my character
@@Sam-gf1eb Its possible tho. On german Kleinanzeigen, former Ebay Kleinanzeigen, there are tons of used or premade fursuits. I got my first one this way.
I went to Anthrocon 2023 because, in spite of a long history of enjoying works like Lackadaisy and Beastars, I've never entirely been sure if I'm actually "A Furry" and wanted to throw myself into the fray to see if it was for me -- still not 100% sure, but it was a rad convention and the vibes were awesome
As long as it's them not trying to farm for cringe content, yah it's pretty entertaining to see normies go to a furry con. It's a neat outside perspective that we as furries can't really experience ourselves
I live by "if it doesn't hurt me and it doesn't hurt you, it ain't a problem" I'm not a furry myself, I have one friend who is, also one of the nicer groups I've gotten to see
I also think it's fun how an outsiders perspective gave you more ideas on what to check out next con!! As a person who largely goes to cons solo I use panels a TON to meet people and end up missing some of the spontaneous stuff on the floor, it's so interesting how people can basically experience the same con completely differently
I had no idea fursuits were so personalized, that you’d be able to recognize knock offs of individual people. I also don’t know how I ended up watching a reaction to a non-furry going to a furry convention at 9 am before logging into work. But here we are, just learning new things.
Well, most suits are existing only once. So it acually is an individual thing. I personaly recognize furries, that I dont know to good primarily by their suits.
Aw, this was adorable! I went to my first furry convention, as a person who was casually furry for a while but only properly engaging with the fandom recently, back in 2022 and it blew me away. The best way I can describe it is returning to the energy of going to a 4000 person anime convention when I was 15 in 2010. Everyone's making new friends, socializing, doing silly things to have a fun time, and just fully leaning into the experience. They've immediately become my top priority conventions and I'm so excited to go to my next one.
This is something I tell the haters "Not all furries are what most people think. They just wanna have fun and be themselves." As I always agree to every time. Props to Preston for the video. Props to you too for the kind words. Wholesome is what I see in a whole lot of cases.
As someone recently coming out of a huge Clone Hero/YARG hyperfocus it makes me happy that people still recognize it! Being an older zoomer I talk to people even 4 years younger than me and a lot of them just have no idea. Also, WOW, I really need to make plans to attend a convention!! I'm finally a real adult, even though it sometimes doesn't feel like it, and I keep forgetting that I can just _do_ things.
NOOOOO! NOT THE EBAY FURSUITS!!! 😭 Also, he has cardboard on the back of his fursuit head. For his sake, I hope he never wears that knock-off ebay fursuit again.
Thats so cute. I expected Beta to mock and make fun of this new type of pokemons (Non-Furries) but it's turned even better and heartwarming compassionate video about experiences of a brave but naive openminded person. Thats so cool that furries tend to understand person's reality rather than using their weaks to make fun of them.
10:20 I spent about an hour or 2 in the 30 degree heat OUTSIDE in the sun while wearing my fursuit, it has like 3 layers of wool and 2 fluffy cushions for each leg, MY HEAD THOUGHH, i have like 2 solar panel fans in the back of my fursuit head and like 2 battery powered ones because my head is made of foam, faux fur and some wool for the neck otherwise i get a rash from the foam texture :')
4:30 SAMEEEE me and my friend went to anthrocon this year and all we did was walk around take pictures with people and check out dealers den then we left💀💀
I watched this and now I'm working on getting the nerve to go to DenFur. I've only ever volunteered at a con before and only with friends (but it was worth it to shake Toriel's hand). It's an intimidating prospect, but also looks so fun!
I've started to see more and more wholesome "normie invades a furry con" videos over time, and I wish the idiot trolls who think it's "funny" to harass people at a con and then get kicked out after fifteen minutes would take a hint from people like this guy and realize that there's a better way. Also, this guy's fursuit is the best ever. Is it a pig? Is it a cow? Yes.
im probably one of the luckiest unlucky people you will ever know, i have all these connections to people who are famous in their own industry but im poor and un-famous every where, the only thing i consider myself good at is being way too chaotic
Im a very not normie who aspires to get a partial at some point. I wonder if the accessibility at furry cons is decent? I am dissabled and have a walker so if any dissabled furries or even organizers are here in the comments I am open to your opinions!
I'm furry adjacent (brony) but I've got a buddy who keeps trying to drag me out to Midwest furfest. If I get my passport I just might do it. It'll help me get over my aversion to fursuits, I'm sure. (I have a hard time interacting with people that I can't read and the suits block and spoof a lot of tells) If I do go I'll probably wear my old mando helmet and see how many stickers I can get people to slap on it.

My personal favorite is people going to furry conventions dressed as the Team Fortress 2 spy *with a furry mask*
Always a classic
What are you talking about? I just see a normal furry in an absolutely smashing suit.
Good ol reliable
Just saw one of these this week. The legend lives on. 😂
14:50 there's someone dressed up as scout tf2

A circuit board repair panel at a furry con makes so much sense, considering that whenever someone does the "What's your job" video, like 9/10 people there are in IT.. That's honestly funny as shit...
And so if any proots malfunction, someone is able to repair them in the field.
It’s honestly sad how many people use images of other people’s fursuits on eBay and scam people who don’t know 😭 other than that, great video beta!! 😃
im so sorry i didnt know this was hurtfull
@@waylonanimations7632 its not hurtful to the people in the images, if the people being scammed with images that are not representing what they are paying for

EBay for fursuits is like handing your money to a wanted criminal.
"Why? How do you know?"
"HOW DO YOU KNOWE-"
amazon is worse
@@YTDeletes90PercentOfMyComments well yeah and their thigh highs are cheap as hell

I mean there was a panel about board repair so it's not that unlikely honestly

As someone who makes cosplay implements, I learned a long time ago not to trust eBay for anything expensive.

And inflation. And human factor. And social stigma. And so much more things beyond logistics.

You man who love risking.
Yeah, but it's much easier to tell the difference between a real one and a knock off. Mainly the price.
@@Sam-gf1eb it isn't a knockoff at all
@@soupdrinker Yeah, yours isn't a knockoff.

17:52 AHHH THATS ME HUGGING THE COW!!!!!! So wild seeing myself here, i didnt even know he was recording at first lol 😂
LOL! I admire his dedication in getting the “somewhat cringy” fursuit to be in the in-crowd. 🤣 He deserves much credit for his video, regardless. 👏
Honestly, missed opportunity that there isn't a band made up of synths playing synths.
"Random puts on costume and enjoys anonymity" and now you understand 😂

Was that a ferret at the parade?? I don’t see other ferrets often!!
The bulldog fursuit at the end looks awesome too I gotta know them!
😮
I want to meet this guy!! He seems so great to be around
I’d love to be a guide to furries too lol
If one of his family members see his ebay search history they'll probily have questions 😂😂😂
Yo, it’s always a pleasure seeing the enthusiasm of non-furries interacting with furries at a con.
And yes, we need a PSA for bootleg fursuits.
saw this video as well. definitely the funniest "I invaded a furcon" vid I have watched
This is something I tell the haters "Not all furries are what most people think. They just wanna have fun and be themselves." As I always agree to every time. Props to Preston for the video. Props to you too for the kind words. Wholesome is what I see in a whole lot of cases.

The sounds of the reaction to the price of the suit 😂
I wheezed.
YES! been waiting for you to react to this video, it’s so great
"$15175"
Beta: *Absolutely flabbergasted*
I went to a furry convention once, and now im a full time furry.
I was expecting something pretty bad "judgment" or so, but it was very cool ! Thumb up to this guy !
12:23 Beta’s reaction is so good man Omg-
NOOOOO! NOT THE EBAY FURSUITS!!! 😭
Also, he has cardboard on the back of his fursuit head. For his sake, I hope he never wears that knock-off ebay fursuit again.
I think these videos are really good for new furs that havent been to cons before because it really shows a veiw that some people havent considered

NAH That hole after he goes to the 18+ section is mad suspicious 😂😂6:47
I’m pretty sure you can see Preston in the background of a furcon infiltration video that Beta reacted to.
A fursuit alert is a great idea, Beta. It could be the 🙀 cat signal. A searchlight over GOT'EM CITY. From Commissioner GOwODON.
"Weather is happening, brother"
"Yeah, you got that one right, buddy."
I meg Hugz N Snugz at Furrydelphia this year. He is by far the nicest person I've ever met.
You should honestly watch spoonkids, they did really well and were very respectful and it was really fun to watch

That's so WHOLESOME !
I'm planning on going to my first con soon this may. No suit, but I do have a cosplay of a furry character I'm bring for the trip.
Is that confuzzeld by any chance? If so I can say it's a great first con, it was my first one and I've been back every year since.

I've seen that video, it was fun x3
I’m so happy I found this guy’s video
this guy is my social anxieties worst nightmare
15,175.... jeez.. its worth MORE than my CAR! also TF2 Scout spotted at 14:52
It is such a pain to watch a normie running around in a "fursuit" and at the same time just so funny and delightful.
As a brony who has been overlapping with furries all my life, I don't think I've seen synths before. Now I wonder if synth ponies are a thing
Furrries are good folk! I miss conventions so much, haven't been in far too long! Everyone can have fun and learn new things at a good convention!

Hey I played £90 for my tail which is pretty good, and it was from a fursuit maker on etsy, and they were real nice ^~^
