@Appulman There were two, maybe three people in total in fur suits at the convention. The number of furries present has been dramatically exaggerated by people who want to bitch for the sake of bitching.
>There was multiple diapers and anons in diapers activity using them, their soiled adult diapers were 8n the parking lot
I never saw any diapers at the convention, nor do I know anyone who does, and I was there with many friends. Then again, I never went to the parking lot. If this isn't completely made up, it's such a tiny part of a much bigger event that it does not warrant much focus.
>Thats without mentioned the absolute shitshow of an auction where they spent over 4 hours just selling random crap for shit and giggles (maps of the hotel, a table, a picture of purps ass, a shirt signed "I fucked purp in the ass" probably some kind of gaysex purchase) while the artfags who worked on legit art had to wait until last when all the energy is low and auction money spent
The Auction was by far the most mismanaged portion of the convention and the section with the most obvious room for improvement. But Jesus, lay off on the exaggerations. Four hours was necessary budgeting of time considering that auctions at most cons last three or more hours and almost always go over. They were prescient to devote that much time to it. The items were by and large not "random crap,' but included things like all of the paintings in the Mare Gallery. Yes, they sold a few random items for shits and giggles. That's completely normal at charity auctions in the Pony Fandom. At Seaquestriafest earlier this year, a palm limb was sold. At Galacon this and every year, a cowboy hat worn by the convention organizer is the big item at the end of the auction. That's just what they do.
Putting the art off until the end was a mistake, but for exactly the opposite reason that you claim. Two of the last three items were art pieces that were among the most clearly desirable pieces of art: the "mare stare" and a work of art made by a literal horse at the rescue farm. Both of these items sold for about $4,000 each. The problem is that many people will be
not bidding on other items in hopes of buying these. I know that I had saved about $3,000 to buy one of these items, and then got outbid on both. If I had known that was going to happen, I would have tried to buy several of the paintings that went earlier in the auction. Meanwhile having all of the banners sell early in the auction — 6 banners in a row — was a mistake as these items are boring to most convention goers, and could have been something for people to blow money on at the end of the auction, which is their primary purpose in an auction.
