I'm done with people asking me if I'm going to a furcon anywhere or TFF. And then telling me I'm missing out when I say no.
Let me make this abundantly clear. After my last con, where I was introduced to a famous pedophile, endured the stench of the gaming area, was harassed by some loon in a yellow fox fursuit while chatting with a friend, had my badge "borrowed" by a fur who I let share my room with me while I was busy dropping off other furs (since I had a car) back home who weren't enjoying themselves, having to deal with asshats breaking hotel property in front of me and tee-heeing about it, had a table I was relaxing at commandeered by some emo fetuses who wanted to use my table to play Tragic: The Marketing in spite of there being several other tables open, and having 3 folks who claimed to want to meet me be "too busy" at the last minute...
Fuck furry conventions. You might enjoy them...that's great. "But Burr, your experience isn't everyone's." No, you're right. But it's mine. "Give it another shot, you might love it!" No, the last one was garbage enough that I don't feel like wasting more time and money on it. "You may think you're old, but there are lots of older furries who go to these as well!" Yes, and many more who I talk to who used to go who say they'll never go again, so there's an equal split. Just...stop. Do your thing, don't tell me how to do mine.
