Murrsuiters get event cancelled and possible full-life consequences

[Ozriel]

Isn't FA:U in New Jersey? What will happen to it? I mean, as bad publicity for the furry fandom goes, this is pretty bad. Almost as bad as the old Confurences.

It's pretty bad shit, but I can't say that it is the worse to happen.

Meh, this just goes to show that Americans are a bunch of prudes. The Dutch wouldn't bat an eye at this shit. People do it in Amsterdam parks all the time!

Seriously, I'd rather these people represent me than any dog rapist, that's for sure.

maybe we are prudes but i personally dont want to be walking with my child in a city and two people fuck in public. I dont force my sexual relations with my husband on anyone else to be forced to see so i do not want to be forced to watch two other people in public during coitus. NOR do i want my child to see two random asshats fuck in front of her before I have had the chance to explain what sex is.

Ok, this really isn't excusable. It's not a matter of if other people thinks it's perfectly okay and Americans are prudes; they were given expectations which they failed to meet and have costed a group of perfectly nice furs an event.

Again assuming that it was furs who were unintentionally caught by passersby and not trolls or a doctored photo.

But... what happened to the passerby being part of the town counsel? The post says there were witnesses, not just photos.

Well, we know it wasn't a doctored photo, because there were dozens of witnesses.

It wasn't trolls, either. Occams Razor, man. No matter how hard you wish for this not to have been two furry's fault, and no matter how hard you wish that people would never be this ridiculous, that doesn't change the truth of the matter... these were genuine furries, genuinely fucking up in a public place, and genuinely 'caught' by a civil servant's children.

Don't forget that there will be "Legal repercussions" against the murrsuiters.

Because OF COURSE the witnesses couldn't have been just 'kids' because kids can sometimes have wild imaginations. The witness couldn't have been JUST a city official because if they had any history of disliking furries their accusation would immediately come under fire. When you combine the two, it looks like all bases have been covered for an insta-death sentence. Maybe I've just watched too much Law & Order.

 

[Dokid]

This is awful. These people should be made to do community service and be banned from every convention and meet. There is no reason to be having sex in public in front of kids on a car. It just cries out for attention. and Aetius I agree. We really shouldn't so tolerant towards people like this.

 

[Dreaming]

There's a conversation about this going on at Reddit, it seems that someone does know (or may know) who it is but ain't mentioning names.

I'd imagine that this craziness wont get televised outside of the US, but it should be fun to see how the American networks cover this.

Still, should be funny to find out when, where(specifically, obvious it's in NJ >>) and who. =P

 

[Aetius]

I think so too.

Yes, yes you have. Because it's not like furries have a history of doing dumb shit like this.

Why do we have to hide the identities again? I mean, if the other people lose their jobs, I don't think a witch-hunt and ensuing drama is really a bad thing.
If that's too much, just ban them from mainsite if they're on it, and not allow people to post shouts on their pages.
I don't think it's right that the normal members of the fandom have to be constantly wary of sexual deviants ruining it for the rest of us.

The fandom is too tolerant about this shit. It really has to end. I mean, sometimes I feel ashamed to be a furry. As SIX put it, this is certainly why we furries can't have nice things.

It is pure speculation as to whether there are any 'identities' being hidden. I'm all for not jumping to conclusions until we can see the picture(s) and have all this out in the open. I know the meet organizers who posted this journal on FA and reddit are very frustrated and scared because whether it was real or a troll there are people who might have destroyed their reputations and make their futures a lot harder where they might even have to move if they wanted to keep a professional job... but that pain isn't going to be eased by sharing shady info with a bunch of hypersensitive furries itching for a bloodbath.

 

[Riyeko]

Yeah, this is just... a bit much.

 

[Armaetus]

Once the police report and news is out, we will know their full names and mugshots.

 

[badlands]

they need to be shot, out of a cannon, into the sun.

seriously though. they need nameing

When did this exactly take place? Last weekend? Last month?

 

[Armaetus]

It took place in May. Read the OP.

 

[KigRatel]

People who do this kind of stuff should be shot in the groin with a crossbow.

Seriously though, what in the opal hell were they thinking!?

 

[LizardKing]

Seriously though, what in the opal hell were they thinking!?

Presumably something like, "Fuck it, let's just do it here".

 

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

Good job you two furfags. I hope it was worth it

 

[Dokid]

Good job you two furfags. I hope it was worth it

Better yet lets hope they contracted an STD that can't be cured and will forever ruin their life even more.

 

[Calemeyr]

No troll would do this, unless they were really, really stupid. They'd be crossing the line of Poe's Law. My guess was it was two "proud to be furry" lifestylers who don't give a damn about what people think of them. That's fine...just not when it affects others.

Probably. But they seriously cannot be in their right mind if they go and do something like this. Plus..all that money wasted on a fursuit. Why would anyone want to ruin one just to do that in it?
