Honestly, this con slowly wasting away is a far more entertaining fate for it than it being cancelled. We don't have to do anything, and they try to dance in a room less lively than a morgue.
Legit. No better way in existence then for them to see "cancel culture" isn't what killed their con. What killed their con is simply no one other themselves want anything to do with it.
Thank fucking God. I live one town over from the con. And I am glad that it's going to be cancelled. Which the recent events. I am glad it's done for. I am mainly just going to make a remark. If I went I would have gone undercover. Mainly because I want to see if any racism was going on. Thankfully I've not seen any racism but surprisingly I am just going to keep watching for 2024 and if 2024 doesn't happen. Then I am going to be happy.
It's an appropriately karmic fate that deprives them of the ability to play the victim. I'm reminded of a furry who draws angry little comics that depict various specific popufurs in the fandom cruelly cancelling people and ruling the fandom with an iron fist. The comics usually get only five reactions at most, and I would bet money that none of the popufurs depicted even know who the guy is, which makes his perennial fuming seem just plain pathetic. As the old saying goes, don't feed the trolls.
IF he actually animated it himselfe... far as i know he has never actually done genuine animation.. just tweening other peoples artwork. Infact.. the dude has absolutely no relevant skills for about anything.. he cant draw, he cant animate, he cant code... all hes good at is adorning himselfe with other peoples work. If it wasnt for kabiers artwork and ofcourse the drama people would have forgotten about him by now
Once the novelty of their shared "fursona-non-grata" status wears off, they're all left trying to navigate interactions with people whose lack of social skills, ethics, and basic empathy are *why* they were cancelled in the first place! When you toss together a bunch of people who only know how to troll/neg/seek attention and exploit or prey upon others, you get this.
I think the fact that they used fake art proves how dead this thing is. Art is basically the bread, butter and jelly of the fandom and no one even wanted to provide so much as a doodle to this thing.
Apparently their old artist for year 1 quit, so they replaced her with Kabs lmao and then Kabs was too busy drawing porn for Peacewolf, so they just did the shitty AI art. I love me a good ol trainwreck to observe.
Uh... how is the art "fake"? Because it's made with an AI? Buddy art is one hundred percent impossible to be fake. Yes there's bad art and pretentious art but no fake art.
@556deltawolf what they mean by "fake" is it's art that an actual human didn't make. I don't think you should take it super literally when they say it's fake art because they're just saying it wasn't made by a real artist but a program feeding on stolen images. It can be argued the art is both stolen, and fake. Inauthentic in either case
@@556deltawolf It is fake because the AI basically steals other peoples art and mixes it up a bit. Its like Tracing... Also "Art" means creativity, zero creativity or self expression is involved when the picture is made by a glorified algorythm. Its not even "real" AI to begin with. Theres no thought process involved at all on the part of the algorythm. So by definition its not real art, its a copy of someones homework with some sentences changed so the teacher hopefully doesnt notice.
Hilarious. If Peacewolf leaving her husband and kids to join a bisexual polycule wasn't enough to drive off most of FreeFurAll's moral-Christian attendees, her bafflingly-petty dragging her ex-husband through the mud finished the job.

I went to my very first furry convention this year (Anthrocon '23) and it was one of the best weekends of my life. Since then I spent less time doomscrolling and more time finding people I like to talk to. Maybe I'm just basing this off of my experience, but good company and a good convention can remind you how little internet bullshit matters. FFA themed a convention off of mocking people they hate online, which I think undermines the best part of a convention, or even a meetup; you go there to hang out with people offline, not to hate on people online. If I wanted to hate on people online, I would just stay at home and do that instead of buying a ticket to Oklahoma.
happened to me too going to my first con and it made me realized there more to life then just sitting around and keeping your self in a pit of hatred and drama and what ever.
as someone who has fallen victim to having no friends ever and making issues out of things that really shouldn’t be issues, i can confirm like fucking sucks👍😺
I'm late on this, but such a thing is impossible for them. A part of their identity is that they hate specific types of people (And are also vile). The only next logical step is to find a place to discuss hate in person because trying to be someone who loves things isn't a goal for them. You can see this with the con's leadership and how they treat each other and other people.
The fact that this con is somehow wrapped up in the Peacewolf drama is the cherry on top of this abortion Sunday. I never expected the Incest lizards cucking scandal to be the biggest thing to hit the fandom, however I am genuinely glad it did because its hilarious.
I can't be the only one who thinks its weird that jason uses ai art when he has two partners who ARE artist's, right? Like 1. He could just have one of the two draw whatever he wanted. And 2. Are kabs and peacewolf NOT upset their boyfriend (and subsequently, husband) uses ai that steals from fellow artists and potentially their own art? I just...idk...man these 3...i don't even know what to say anymore.
Honestly I really think jasonafex hates doing actual work and thus tries to avoid it as much as possible, with the others around him just yes manning everything he wants despite them being easily able to do their own art.
1. Hard to even want to make worthy art when you're just constantly fucking each other while the 'Convention' you plan is just gonna be less than 80 people, lol 2. The things those two 'artists' care about is quite little but each other and their dear raptor fuckbuddy (amazing to see the furcon promo video had better animation than his tweened together ''''''''''''animations''''''''''''), why give a shit about the real artists getting fucked over by AI taking their art out there when you can just fuck about in an echo chamber of some of the most sleezy people that were graced upon this earth. 3. here's to forgetting all about it until Free Fur All 2024 happens(?), maybe this time they'll just cram the staff into the ball pit and call it good
Sounds like he just wanted to piss off people and cause another controversy to publicize his con over. Just is... genuinely wild. I can't imagine living your life like that.
Just cause kabier is an artist doesnt mean shes a good person. Remember that jasona groomed her since she was 16... and from some recordings i heard of the two verbally abusing a friend.. she really is not someone you should expect any moral behavior from to put it mildly
As a furry artist whose done a whole UA-cam video about the implications of AI Art in the furry community, even with my slightly differing views on the topic from the norm, their usage is confusing given they should have had the resources to draw up stuff themselves. Kabs is bad but they seem to draw fast. Like they could have touched up the AI renders by hand if they actually cared... Also The con is quite the joke but honestly it'd have done better if the peacewolf drama hadn't split the cult.
Also, you can't forget that the video that FFA posted online of the rave got copyright claimed and taken down by Porter Robinson for use of his song Language
I like what Misha B. Barkin said about the “rave party” at 8:57. Specifically at 9:48, where he describes it to be a small group of paparazzi simply just following the stars of the convention around the dance floor while Jason, Kabs and Peace awkwardly try to have fun. I couldn’t agree more with this statement lol.
Makes sense that no one tried cancelling that con. Pretty sure cancelling a corpse is just wrong. With the con being so damn dead, it would be like cancelling someone during their phase of mid-decay.
there can be no bigger admission of defeat than big name furry artists using ai for promotional material when they could have just... drawn and voiced it. For free. Even repurposing their old art could have worked
I am actually shocked they had another one. Cons are expensive to run. Their first year featured a who's who list of people who had squicked the rest of the fandom right out and barely scraped together a few hundred attendees. Considering the drama these people create and the inevitable staff changes and PR hits that come of it, I really didn't think it'd last beyond the first year. I guess there were some people there just rubbernecking back then because this year's just looks sad. 55 Attendees???
there's no way the costs of running it were anywhere near covered by it the year before, much less this year. Jasonafex et al are subsidizing their own ego trip out of pocket. And it really feels like it was thrown for them, not for the community, as their little vanity project
@@Romanticoutlaw I know Jasonafex made a lot of money in the years before he torpedoed his reputation and I'm sure there are still people willing to pay him a premium for his animations...But this late in the game? Seems kinda sus that he'd still have enough to out-of-pocket a whole hotel con. Usually the way it works is that a small local meet grows and grows until it becomes a convention. This might well be the first one to do the opposite and go from a convention to an annual meet. The numbers they drew this year were about the same as the biggest local meet we had where I live.
Jesus that comedy show. Nothing says cutting-edge gut-busting comedy like doing an entire skit based on a scene from a 25 year old video game that was already memed to death a decade ago. I wonder if Dorkly would take them.
Jasonafex absolutely is. He was allegedly dating Kab when she was still a minor. There's also a massive incest fetish shared between the two, with a hint of zoophilia on top of that.
The whole god-forsaken debacle with these fucking lizard people has undeniably made one of the funniest pieces of art in the community, and one of the weirdest stories of betrayal. The art of him crying and holding a Jasonafex doll is literally legendary because every single peace of the peacewolf puzzle was entirely a figment of the imagination of 3 demented narcissists. A comrade takes a fall from Grace, the question is left standing how does a community of artists react to such injustice? The answer is simple, the art is to be coated in gold and diamonds, lavishly ordained, bearing the cation: “One notorious whore down, one more shall take its place”-foxglove
10:37 when i was in middle school some kid went onstage at a talent show and said "hail satan, hail h*tler, bush did 9/11" and flashed his nipples and that's actually funnier than the entire comedy clip
I now have to live with the fact these three (Jason, Kabs, and Peace) enjoy Porter Robinson and that kills me inside. Context: One of the songs played during clips of the "rave" was Language by Porter Robinson. I like that song. And now I'm gonna have this moment stuck as an eternal memory anytime I listen to that song.
As I said in my own comment, Porter Robinson (or his record label, but probably Porter himself because the label probably had to contact him about it) decided to copyright strike and take down the video off of FFA's twitter page which I think is really really funny because it shows that Porter does NOT want to have his name associated with these people, which implies he keeps up with furry drama
@@onnelli PPPFFFFFFFFF OH MY GOOD GOD THAT'S HILARIOUS Like I know Porter to be a guy who loves when people use his music or make covers and such. Hell, his band from the Nurture Live tour was made of people who did stuff with his music. So you are either exactly correct or pretty close lmao
@@lucidity8060 I mean, with Porter releasing an album about the internet and video games, and then about nature and life and then embracing people freely using his stuff, even more so when he made his own Vocaloid, I really wouldn't be surprised if Porter keeps up on furry drama, and would be even less surprised if like, he had a furry account that he makes sure has no way to reach back to his main persona
the fact that the promotional video for this ""large"" con is the EXACT same quality as a video from 2013 your teacher would show you in an english class says a lot about the con
When an advertisment for this on a certain site (starts with an e) has massive downvotes, you know it's not gonna have a large turn out, but man was this a disaster in the making.
Lagovirt's videos just keep on getting more awesome indeed. Like i said in Misha's video on this con....Worst Con ever, Nobody should ever attend that con. There are just bad people there who"ve done bad things and deserve absoulety nothing at all. Am i right?
I mean, messed up people like Jasonafex obviously don't deserve anything. Though I'd wager a handful of the people there did so simply because of politics. The fandom highly frowns upon people on the right-wing from what I've seen, and I guess some of the people who went to this con saw it as a chance to make their own space or something to that effect.
Pro tip for anyone wanting to make an a-political con in the future: Don't mention the fact that it's a-political nor should you include politics in any shape or form in your marketing. (Also be sure you actually know the proper requirements of running an event as well as not grooming or manipulating people in the process).
Lago is the best rabbit furry on this platform of UA-cam it really show there is good out there in the furry fandom and basically good to see you still here Lago keep up the good work.
A con made from spite and by spiteful angry sore losers who were turned away from better cons. No wonder they went with minimum-effort AI generated images for their advertisement, hired no DJ to actually play a setlist, and all of their "interactive" panels were banal guessing games about sugary drinks and poorly pantomimed performances set to pre-recorded rants. With how poor the turnout was, I'd be incredibly shocked if it wasn't operated at a loss to venue hiring costs. In fact, let's crunch some numbers as the Glenpool Conference Center lists their venue costs: Free Fur All is (or was, whichever is funnier) a 3-day event that went for 13 hours for 2 days, and then 10 hours for the last day - but only hired the rooms within the allotted days and time limits allowed by the facility. The venue rooms they hired include Exhibit Halls A and B (Game and Main Event rooms like the "DJ"), the Foyer (used for the surprisingly unpeed ball pit and literal animal abuse by an unlicensed animal sanctuary), the facility's left wing including the Board Room (Fursuit Lounge) and South 2B & 2A (combined for Dealers Den), and the facility's right wing including North 3A & 3B (combined for Panel Room 1) and North 4A & 4B (split into two rooms via a divider for Con Ops and Panel Room 2). Pricing for the aforementioned rooms in order, for Friday and Saturday prices, and the final day on Sunday: $1,300 (Hall A, Friday and Saturday) Max Rate $1,800 (Hall B, Friday and Saturday) Max Rate $1,000 (Hall A, Sunday) Max Rate $1,300 (Hall B, Sunday) Max Rate $1,000 (Foyer, Friday and Saturday) Max Rate $0,700 (Foyer, Sunday) Max Rate ASSUMED (Dealers Den, Panel Room 1, Panel Room 2 and Con Ops): $0,600 3x (Double Meeting Room, Friday and Saturday) $0,300 3x (Double Meeting Room, Sunday) 4 hours ASSUMED (Fursuit Lounge): $0,500 (Meeting Rooms, Friday and Saturday) $0,200 (Meeting Room, Sunday) 4 hours TOTAL: $10,500 (before an NFP discount of 50%) NFP aprox rate total: $5,250 Now, they still (STILL!) have their July schedule listed on their site, along with other info such as the $450 "Maverick" registration tier allegedly being "Sold Out!" to a limit of 15, but who knows if any of them *weren't* bought by the staff/friends/etc who had to pay for the venue fees anyway to run their little fash party. This also doesn't take into account transport/gas costs, table fees, and additional expenses (printing for advertisement flyers, banners, office supplies, catering - even if it's literally just the con staff paying for their own food, that's money that was spent running the con - unplanned purchases due to forgotten equipment, etc). At best, they made a few hundred dollars in profit/revenue (which went straight back into the NFP account and not to any of the staff) and definitely not a thousand or more as the couple of dozen who paid for registration just barely covered the venue costs. At worse, they're barely operating above insolvency because the staff keep pumping the NFP account with their own funds, bleeding themselves to spite the naysayers because it's harder for them to accept defeat than it is to go broke. If none of this sounds difficult or pricey to you, then only managing an expo/con can give you the experience to know how truly F'd in the A the FFA con truly is.
Its like a terrible vanity project for Jasonafex, Kabier and Peacewolf. The only ones actually enjoying themselves are those three. everyone else is just a background character to their twisted love story.
Wouldn't say they had the wisdom to quit, because they did try again... but the negative backlash caused them to give up the second attempt almost immediately.
Yo, Not a furry but friend to a few. Goodamn that "Comedy" bit almost killed me it was so painful to watch i was wheezing to death. Im a big Castlevania fan and seeing a butchering of one of the most historic scenes based off the dudes fandom crimes. You guys don't deserve the shit you get, but losers like that are just cracked, bros
I’m also a bit jaded with cancel culture but a lot of the time these people are hated for a good reason. Basing a convention around unlikeable people is a terrible idea, no wonder it failed
Man, Jason really fell from grace about as hard as it gets. Dude was iconic but just couldn't stop kicking the bees nest every chance he got. He's literally become everything he used to make fun of but now on the other end of the political spectrum.
“Dance? I don’t know what you’d call this.” Call it “baltering”. Balter (bôlter) [verb, Middle English] - to dance without any inherent skill, art or grace, but perhaps some enthusiasm.
7:46 they couldnt even steal from a good VN lmaooooooooo 11:09 the part where they awkwardly walk off the stage and theres just a profound slience is 100 times funnier than that last joke that was just a done to death reference at this point. Hell, I'm sure it's funnier than anything else in that set.
Even Dashcon was more entertaining than this drivel, comparing clips of that trainwreck to this one (next Sunday I'm headed to a gaming convention). Jason, Kabs and Peacewolf also all dance like they're got both rheumatism and arthritis (seriously, what's with that move at 9:05? He looks like a mental patient), I could do a better job and I don't like dancing. I even consider this con's use of the 🇺🇸 in this context as a qualification for disrespecting the flag, and that caricature animation also has the same quality as modern Family Guy, equally as bad. On the plus side, Furcationland debuted this year and was a massive success, it looks very fun and I'd like to visit that. I also found out that next year, Arkansas of all states is having another con called ArcanPawz (not the first attempt in that state, there was one before in 2017 but lasted only one year), and all I can say is 🤞and hope it's better than this disgraceful flop.
Using AI art and running music off a playlist for the dances feels like the kind of thing that'll actively push people away unless they just start hiring right wing musicians who aren't even involved with the fandom
Kabs and Jasona really have become a poisen for any project... and with the whole peacewolf drama they just have distilled it to a T... by now anyone who gets involved in any business with those garbage humans has only themselves to blame
gameplay in a commentary video is like the socially acceptable version of adding subway surfers or family guy funny moments to tiktoks. i dont hate it, just making an observation.
The right is as subtle as a sledgehammer. And the event sounds as good as i thought it would be. (it's not) Also, always had the feeling that 2 was extremist. Edgy comedians kind of usually slide into this sort of thing.. :(
What sucks is that whenever I type in your name now, Jasonafex's video (2:49) comes up when I scroll down. Because that's TOTALLY the same thing, right?/s
the sight of that corny american flag ball pit sitting forlornly in an empty hallway just cracks me right tf up. it's funnier than the dashcon ballpit because this time the sucky con was also entirely attended by equally shitty people lmao

I can't be the only one who thinks its weird that jason uses ai art when he has two partners who ARE artist's, right? Like 1. He could just have one of the two draw whatever he wanted. And 2. Are kabs and peacewolf NOT upset their boyfriend (and subsequently, husband) uses ai that steals from fellow artists and potentially their own art? I just...idk...man these 3...i don't even know what to say anymore.
Honestly I really think jasonafex hates doing actual work and thus tries to avoid it as much as possible, with the others around him just yes manning everything he wants despite them being easily able to do their own art.
1. Hard to even want to make worthy art when you're just constantly fucking each other while the 'Convention' you plan is just gonna be less than 80 people, lol 2. The things those two 'artists' care about is quite little but each other and their dear raptor fuckbuddy (amazing to see the furcon promo video had better animation than his tweened together ''''''''''''animations''''''''''''), why give a shit about the real artists getting fucked over by AI taking their art out there when you can just fuck about in an echo chamber of some of the most sleezy people that were graced upon this earth. 3. here's to forgetting all about it until Free Fur All 2024 happens(?), maybe this time they'll just cram the staff into the ball pit and call it good
Sounds like he just wanted to piss off people and cause another controversy to publicize his con over. Just is... genuinely wild. I can't imagine living your life like that.
Just cause kabier is an artist doesnt mean shes a good person. Remember that jasona groomed her since she was 16... and from some recordings i heard of the two verbally abusing a friend.. she really is not someone you should expect any moral behavior from to put it mildly
Kind of framing people as circus monkeys, aren't you?
With the whole emptiness of it all it reminds me of cartmanland from South Park. A con solely just for the three of them and their cronies
As a furry artist whose done a whole UA-cam video about the implications of AI Art in the furry community, even with my slightly differing views on the topic from the norm, their usage is confusing given they should have had the resources to draw up stuff themselves. Kabs is bad but they seem to draw fast. Like they could have touched up the AI renders by hand if they actually cared...
Also The con is quite the joke but honestly it'd have done better if the peacewolf drama hadn't split the cult.
Kab's art can be pretty dang nice looking honestly if they put the effort in. Which makes it so weird.
Also, you can't forget that the video that FFA posted online of the rave got copyright claimed and taken down by Porter Robinson for use of his song Language
I like what Misha B. Barkin said about the “rave party” at 8:57. Specifically at 9:48, where he describes it to be a small group of paparazzi simply just following the stars of the convention around the dance floor while Jason, Kabs and Peace awkwardly try to have fun. I couldn’t agree more with this statement lol.
Dude Misha and simple nicks are under rated as ful sane with lanza and Lago virt 😂
Makes sense that no one tried cancelling that con. Pretty sure cancelling a corpse is just wrong. With the con being so damn dead, it would be like cancelling someone during their phase of mid-decay.
The Necrofurry Convention. Uh, I mean Necroanthro. ☠️
@@TheTrumpReaper bruh. That name is amazing. Why didn't I think of that?
there can be no bigger admission of defeat than big name furry artists using ai for promotional material when they could have just... drawn and voiced it. For free. Even repurposing their old art could have worked
Everyone saw the A.I art and decided to give the whole thing the middel finger. That on its own signifies pure lazyness.
I am actually shocked they had another one. Cons are expensive to run. Their first year featured a who's who list of people who had squicked the rest of the fandom right out and barely scraped together a few hundred attendees. Considering the drama these people create and the inevitable staff changes and PR hits that come of it, I really didn't think it'd last beyond the first year. I guess there were some people there just rubbernecking back then because this year's just looks sad. 55 Attendees???
there's no way the costs of running it were anywhere near covered by it the year before, much less this year. Jasonafex et al are subsidizing their own ego trip out of pocket. And it really feels like it was thrown for them, not for the community, as their little vanity project
@@Romanticoutlaw I know Jasonafex made a lot of money in the years before he torpedoed his reputation and I'm sure there are still people willing to pay him a premium for his animations...But this late in the game? Seems kinda sus that he'd still have enough to out-of-pocket a whole hotel con.
Usually the way it works is that a small local meet grows and grows until it becomes a convention. This might well be the first one to do the opposite and go from a convention to an annual meet. The numbers they drew this year were about the same as the biggest local meet we had where I live.
Jesus that comedy show. Nothing says cutting-edge gut-busting comedy like doing an entire skit based on a scene from a 25 year old video game that was already memed to death a decade ago. I wonder if Dorkly would take them.
Hasn’t the main couple who made this con been outed as abusive groomers?
Jasonafex absolutely is. He was allegedly dating Kab when she was still a minor. There's also a massive incest fetish shared between the two, with a hint of zoophilia on top of that.
The whole god-forsaken debacle with these fucking lizard people has undeniably made one of the funniest pieces of art in the community, and one of the weirdest stories of betrayal.
The art of him crying and holding a Jasonafex doll is literally legendary because every single peace of the peacewolf puzzle was entirely a figment of the imagination of 3 demented narcissists. A comrade takes a fall from Grace, the question is left standing how does a community of artists react to such injustice?
The answer is simple, the art is to be coated in gold and diamonds, lavishly ordained, bearing the cation:
“One notorious whore down, one more shall take its place”-foxglove
10:37 when i was in middle school some kid went onstage at a talent show and said "hail satan, hail h*tler, bush did 9/11" and flashed his nipples and that's actually funnier than the entire comedy clip
"Don't be these three" Best advice of 2023!
I now have to live with the fact these three (Jason, Kabs, and Peace) enjoy Porter Robinson and that kills me inside.
Context: One of the songs played during clips of the "rave" was Language by Porter Robinson. I like that song. And now I'm gonna have this moment stuck as an eternal memory anytime I listen to that song.
Where's spagett 3 lucid. Why did you leave us. We love u :'(
@@middleofthesphere HOW did you even find this??? Lmaooo
As I said in my own comment, Porter Robinson (or his record label, but probably Porter himself because the label probably had to contact him about it) decided to copyright strike and take down the video off of FFA's twitter page which I think is really really funny because it shows that Porter does NOT want to have his name associated with these people, which implies he keeps up with furry drama
@@onnelli PPPFFFFFFFFF OH MY GOOD GOD THAT'S HILARIOUS
Like I know Porter to be a guy who loves when people use his music or make covers and such. Hell, his band from the Nurture Live tour was made of people who did stuff with his music. So you are either exactly correct or pretty close lmao
@@lucidity8060 I mean, with Porter releasing an album about the internet and video games, and then about nature and life and then embracing people freely using his stuff, even more so when he made his own Vocaloid, I really wouldn't be surprised if Porter keeps up on furry drama, and would be even less surprised if like, he had a furry account that he makes sure has no way to reach back to his main persona
the fact that the promotional video for this ""large"" con is the EXACT same quality as a video from 2013 your teacher would show you in an english class says a lot about the con
When an advertisment for this on a certain site (starts with an e) has massive downvotes, you know it's not gonna have a large turn out, but man was this a disaster in the making.
It might still have 621 downvotes
@@anthrolitestudios I see what you did there ;3
@@rossjohnstone4689 no really, it actually was at that number of dislikes. I have it screenshoted too
I'm surprised Fashcon 2023 even happened to begin with.
It didn't happen yet. Fashcon (fassion con) is Sept 9, New York at javits Center.
Jesus, that animation...
What can you even say about it that it didn't say by itself?
It's pure art.
*chef's kiss*
the con just gave of a mix of that one ben shapiro promo image that became a meme and a kid lost in a wallmart
Lagovirt's videos just keep on getting more awesome indeed. Like i said in Misha's video on this con....Worst Con ever, Nobody should ever attend that con. There are just bad people there who"ve done bad things and deserve absoulety nothing at all. Am i right?
I mean, messed up people like Jasonafex obviously don't deserve anything. Though I'd wager a handful of the people there did so simply because of politics. The fandom highly frowns upon people on the right-wing from what I've seen, and I guess some of the people who went to this con saw it as a chance to make their own space or something to that effect.
@@EpicTyphlosionTV I can totally agree with that
Honestly, this con sounds more literal than anything resembling a actual convention.
Pro tip for anyone wanting to make an a-political con in the future: Don't mention the fact that it's a-political nor should you include politics in any shape or form in your marketing. (Also be sure you actually know the proper requirements of running an event as well as not grooming or manipulating people in the process).
Exactly...also not liking some of the extreme left doesn't mean you like the opposite.
i saw the inflatable pool and it just gave me flashbacks to Dashcon
If any convention has a ball pit, run away as fast as you can.
Fr
Lago is the best rabbit furry on this platform of UA-cam it really show there is good out there in the furry fandom and basically good to see you still here Lago keep up the good work.
I have a fun spin on the guess the drink game. Find how many swastikas are in this video.
Anthro instead of Furry? That's like that MAGA drag queen saying she would call herself a "costumed performer"
Will never get over the transphobic caricature in the original advertisement
Made even better when you realize one of the selling points of their con was "no politics"
A con made from spite and by spiteful angry sore losers who were turned away from better cons. No wonder they went with minimum-effort AI generated images for their advertisement, hired no DJ to actually play a setlist, and all of their "interactive" panels were banal guessing games about sugary drinks and poorly pantomimed performances set to pre-recorded rants. With how poor the turnout was, I'd be incredibly shocked if it wasn't operated at a loss to venue hiring costs. In fact, let's crunch some numbers as the Glenpool Conference Center lists their venue costs:
Free Fur All is (or was, whichever is funnier) a 3-day event that went for 13 hours for 2 days, and then 10 hours for the last day - but only hired the rooms within the allotted days and time limits allowed by the facility. The venue rooms they hired include Exhibit Halls A and B (Game and Main Event rooms like the "DJ"), the Foyer (used for the surprisingly unpeed ball pit and literal animal abuse by an unlicensed animal sanctuary), the facility's left wing including the Board Room (Fursuit Lounge) and South 2B & 2A (combined for Dealers Den), and the facility's right wing including North 3A & 3B (combined for Panel Room 1) and North 4A & 4B (split into two rooms via a divider for Con Ops and Panel Room 2).
Pricing for the aforementioned rooms in order, for Friday and Saturday prices, and the final day on Sunday:
$1,300 (Hall A, Friday and Saturday) Max Rate
$1,800 (Hall B, Friday and Saturday) Max Rate
$1,000 (Hall A, Sunday) Max Rate
$1,300 (Hall B, Sunday) Max Rate
$1,000 (Foyer, Friday and Saturday) Max Rate
$0,700 (Foyer, Sunday) Max Rate
ASSUMED (Dealers Den, Panel Room 1, Panel Room 2 and Con Ops):
$0,600 3x (Double Meeting Room, Friday and Saturday)
$0,300 3x (Double Meeting Room, Sunday) 4 hours
ASSUMED (Fursuit Lounge):
$0,500 (Meeting Rooms, Friday and Saturday)
$0,200 (Meeting Room, Sunday) 4 hours
TOTAL:
$10,500 (before an NFP discount of 50%)
NFP aprox rate total: $5,250
Now, they still (STILL!) have their July schedule listed on their site, along with other info such as the $450 "Maverick" registration tier allegedly being "Sold Out!" to a limit of 15, but who knows if any of them *weren't* bought by the staff/friends/etc who had to pay for the venue fees anyway to run their little fash party. This also doesn't take into account transport/gas costs, table fees, and additional expenses (printing for advertisement flyers, banners, office supplies, catering - even if it's literally just the con staff paying for their own food, that's money that was spent running the con - unplanned purchases due to forgotten equipment, etc).
At best, they made a few hundred dollars in profit/revenue (which went straight back into the NFP account and not to any of the staff) and definitely not a thousand or more as the couple of dozen who paid for registration just barely covered the venue costs. At worse, they're barely operating above insolvency because the staff keep pumping the NFP account with their own funds, bleeding themselves to spite the naysayers because it's harder for them to accept defeat than it is to go broke.
If none of this sounds difficult or pricey to you, then only managing an expo/con can give you the experience to know how truly F'd in the A the FFA con truly is.
Its like a terrible vanity project for Jasonafex, Kabier and Peacewolf.
The only ones actually enjoying themselves are those three. everyone else is just a background character to their twisted love story.
That's not very nice
Even Dashcon had the wisdom to quit after their debut disaster
Wouldn't say they had the wisdom to quit, because they did try again... but the negative backlash caused them to give up the second attempt almost immediately.
@@troodon1096 We call that quitting.
One of the few times I saw artists like AI art tools was when it took their line art and tried to apply studio lighting to it.
BTW, Jasonafex had hung out with Jordan Peterson at some point. And I had first learned this from Kiwi Farms.
No, I’m not kidding you.
Yeahh! That's so awesome! I'd love to meet Dr. Peterson too!
Every time I see footage or anything involving his event I am one step further in becoming the 4th California Raisin
Golden comment
Why- 😭why was that so oddly specific
I've been to a local furry meetup at an apple orchard that had a larger turnout than this lmao
0:00 RAIN WORLD OST WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yo, Not a furry but friend to a few. Goodamn that "Comedy" bit almost killed me it was so painful to watch i was wheezing to death. Im a big Castlevania fan and seeing a butchering of one of the most historic scenes based off the dudes fandom crimes. You guys don't deserve the shit you get, but losers like that are just cracked, bros
I’m also a bit jaded with cancel culture but a lot of the time these people are hated for a good reason. Basing a convention around unlikeable people is a terrible idea, no wonder it failed
Been hearing plenty about how underwhelming this con was. Frankly, it gives me a good grin :3
you're everywhere my guy
@@kromer3797 That I am!
NOOOO DID YOU ADD RAIN WORLD MUSIC THERE AT 10:05 NOOOOO you can't do that game dirty like that please i'm going insane
Man, Jason really fell from grace about as hard as it gets. Dude was iconic but just couldn't stop kicking the bees nest every chance he got. He's literally become everything he used to make fun of but now on the other end of the political spectrum.
It's like looking at a liminal space. Gives off that same sad and empty feeling.
Broooooooooooooooooooooooo. You break the bedrock and theres just the void to look into.
But way less mystic.
You know it was a bad con when people made videos about how no one went and they got 20x as many views as people who actually went
“Dance? I don’t know what you’d call this.” Call it “baltering”.
Balter (bôlter) [verb, Middle English] - to dance without any inherent skill, art or grace, but perhaps some enthusiasm.
YAYYYY new Lago video!! Love putting these on to get my furry lore :>
10:50 Dracula is not rolling in his grave.
He is rapidly rotating like a cyclone in his steel casket.
Lagotip: don’t be creepy
Lagofans: we know, they wont..
The irony of the animation claiming Foxglove was doing the banning, when half the staff was kicked out after Jason/Kabs took it over.
Saying that this con had "Fallen" kinda implies that it had somewhere to fall from. This thing was dead from the get-go.
I literally spit my out my protein shake after I heard you say **50 attendees**….**50!!??!!** XD
7:46 they couldnt even steal from a good VN lmaooooooooo
11:09 the part where they awkwardly walk off the stage and theres just a profound slience is 100 times funnier than that last joke that was just a done to death reference at this point. Hell, I'm sure it's funnier than anything else in that set.
That "comedy" routine took a physical toll on me
I can’t believe the Free Fur All ballpit lasted longer than its fallen brethren
8:40 I’m sorry, one of these suits is not like the others. There’s at least one non furry in this group with a specific arm band
The fact they relesed a highlights video with footage of how empty the convention is, but trying to pass it off as a success is appalling.
We need a video on the Furry Beach Fight
Hey Brimstone, haven't seen you in a while, hope ur having a good day
I suppose that watching the death of that con is kinda like watching a slow moving train that's gonna hit a car stuck on the tracks...
Even Dashcon was more entertaining than this drivel, comparing clips of that trainwreck to this one (next Sunday I'm headed to a gaming convention). Jason, Kabs and Peacewolf also all dance like they're got both rheumatism and arthritis (seriously, what's with that move at 9:05? He looks like a mental patient), I could do a better job and I don't like dancing. I even consider this con's use of the 🇺🇸 in this context as a qualification for disrespecting the flag, and that caricature animation also has the same quality as modern Family Guy, equally as bad.
On the plus side, Furcationland debuted this year and was a massive success, it looks very fun and I'd like to visit that. I also found out that next year, Arkansas of all states is having another con called ArcanPawz (not the first attempt in that state, there was one before in 2017 but lasted only one year), and all I can say is 🤞and hope it's better than this disgraceful flop.
Honestly it's pretty amazing how you can tell exactly who was censored out at 1:09 lmao
5:32 *prowler theme starts playing in the background*
Insert squeaky shoe sound effects into the awkward rave
When I say I want a rave after my funeral, I don't mean this. This is a funeral during a rave.
Ooof... that con surely looks like a blast... yikes ^^;;
The con doesn't mean convention that's for sure lol
The rave reminds me of a 2000's video game dance club.
I've seen middle school dances with more energy
Using AI art and running music off a playlist for the dances feels like the kind of thing that'll actively push people away unless they just start hiring right wing musicians who aren't even involved with the fandom
this time they used AI to make artwork for their convention
next they'll probably need AI to make the attendees too
You know the furry community has officially reached peak internet when it splits into subgroups that are all successfully dunking on one another.
Kabs and Jasona really have become a poisen for any project... and with the whole peacewolf drama they just have distilled it to a T... by now anyone who gets involved in any business with those garbage humans has only themselves to blame
If anyones wondering, the disclaimer music is Overskog from the rain world downpour ost
Why do i know this? Uhhhhhhhh
gameplay in a commentary video is like the socially acceptable version of adding subway surfers or family guy funny moments to tiktoks. i dont hate it, just making an observation.
i love how your channel has more subs than jasona's himself
The right is as subtle as a sledgehammer. And the event sounds as good as i thought it would be. (it's not)
Also, always had the feeling that 2 was extremist. Edgy comedians kind of usually slide into this sort of thing.. :(
How was there another one of these?
Wasn't expecting Black Mirror to be brought up. Great series, wish I finished it. White Bear was one of my favorite episodes.
10:08 I adore the editing here!
What sucks is that whenever I type in your name now, Jasonafex's video (2:49) comes up when I scroll down. Because that's TOTALLY the same thing, right?/s
the sight of that corny american flag ball pit sitting forlornly in an empty hallway just cracks me right tf up. it's funnier than the dashcon ballpit because this time the sucky con was also entirely attended by equally shitty people lmao
Thanks to you I have a fursona
10:05 IS THAT THE FUCKING METROPOLIS THREAT MUSIC FROM RAIN WORLD
Ngl they are moving like a fucking scavenger kill squad
the part in the rave where kabs is just chasing this guy with something in her hand (a camera i think) oh my god
Watching clips of this con is giving me secondhand embarrassment. This is just sad.
i still can't believe it all happened within an hour of my location
Great video, but my neurons lit up when I heard Going Under music in there.
