Terrorist attack on Furry convention

[Mirevia]

What Scro says. I sympathize with you, but there's no need to get in trouble over A&B's posting. You're far from the only one who's been offended by it.

Agreed,Dont give him fuel to his fire. He's just trying to make someone angry.

THI-...

I know when I've said something bad, thus I reported myself. I know when I overstepped my morals and boundaries, and I'm not rescinding it. I've said what I need to say, and I have little else to say about this incident.

...*sigh*

?

[Tyrandel]

Does anyone know whether or not the location of the convention had a pool or not? Because that would be pretty significant.

No, as a matter of fact, I will NOT stop over something that is blatantly offensive. Don't ever use the word "fursecuted" around me, and don't tell what you interpertate as a joke, because what you see is different from what I see.

Christ almighty. This is why I took a vacation from the furry fandom.

Too furious for you? Too much gnashing of teeth? A bit too rabid in their reactions?

i'm not sorry

[Orangi]

I can assure you that I have faith in Jesus Christ. I do not profess this faith just on the Internet, but in the real world as well.

You must be fun at parties.

"Alright everyone, a toast to-"
"A TOAST TO JESUS CHRIST FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR US."
"This is why we never invite you anymore, Mark."

Pfffttthahahaha

[Beta Test]

Must have been very weak chlorine gas to not kill anyone. Chlorine gas is usually highly lethal.

[Nazi Flower Power]

A&B is probably a Christian the same way that I am a Nazi. It's just a schtick they do on NS, which is not entirely serious.

But you do it in a clearly jokingly manner, similar to Nazis in Space. A&B, on the other hand...

I used to post more often about my work for the SS, but after a while, I just sort of ran out of things to say about it.

[Skinia]

Seeing such things are what makes me cry. It really does. That you would suggest us a lower beings, that we are not equable to you, because we have a like for anthropomorphism. And I fucking hate it.

You can pretty much tell I'm crying at this point.

Oh my god Alairia. As a fellow furry, toughen up about it man. It's JUST a joke- obviously about the fact that plenty of fursuiters are present, resemble animals, so obviously animal repellent is a better way to get rid of them. Even if that's not the intention, I still chuckled heartily about the concept.

Come on man. Really. You're not, "fursecuted".

It is common courtesy to try to not offend people, Orangi. I, even though I'm not a fan of furry fandom, didn't find that 'joke' funny at all. It was really offensive considering the context and circumstances and a insult made by a nation who has trolled in many other threads. I reported him, see if the mods find it actionable.

Only when it's highly concentrated.

There was no need to do that..as he already did it himself

[Olthar]

On that same token, anyone who hates furries likely wouldn't consider furry con goers to be collateral damage.

I'm not saying it was any Christian group. I'm just saying that I could totally believe that one would use gas if so desired. Just because they haven't in the past doesn't mean they won't in the future.

But pool cleaner, which is annoying, but not deadly? That actually doesn't sound like Christians.

Since it was pointed out that this was more a stink bomb than actually trying to kill people, I am now leaning more toward pranksters or disgruntled furries as the most likely suspects.

I know. I specifically stated that I'm not saying it was Christians. Don't people read anymore? :|

Yes, yes, and yes. A group that does not understand that it creates its own leaks in its boat is not a group one should so easily associate with. As an example, I might qualify as christian, but I don't go to church or talk about my religion. Because of association issues and a more lackadasical faith than others.

Mind you that's just an example.

But yes. Those are all reasons.

[Greater Weselton]

Is ISIS suspected?

[Nazi Flower Power]

Or it could be Muslims.

It seems unlikely.

I suppose imgur's horrible humor has tainted me then.

[Soviet Haaregrad]

Is ISIS suspected?

Only by people who can't be taken seriously.

[Scomagia]

Is ISIS suspected?

It's ridiculously early to assume that this is an act of terrorism, let alone to begin speculating which terrorist organization may be responsible. Good grief.

[Olerand]

Is there tension in, the I guess "community"? Could this be by a disgruntled person that's part of this subgroup?

[Margno]

Is ISIS suspected?

We haven't heard anything to suggest that, no.

[Olerand]

Is ISIS suspected?

In what world would ISIS care about this?

The word terrorism is just an overused word anyway. If this was an attack by an organization such as ISIS it was an awful attempt. Aum Shinrikyo did worse in 1995.

Just a lot of angry jaded people who sometimes find human(s, ity) detestable. Nobody sane/reasonable associates with those types in the community/fandom/goddamnthatneedsaterm.

But I wouldn't put it past a jaded individual in the fandom to do something like that, no. Not at all.

I couldn't agree more.

No. Alairia didn't report the troll, but rather themself for flaming.

I'm not sure what this is meant to communicate...
