Are you denying it's increasing evidence?

This is the marefair thread. Post proof of going to marefair or discuss marefair or leave

>>377213
Oh it IS a Mare Fair thread. I thought it was a disingenuous back-pedalling thread. Very well, carry on!

>>377214
Waiting patiently for your marefair content, since all you’ve posted so far is autistic off-topic tantrum shit

Anons have been using this thread to organize and meet eachother at the convention. Complaining about using names in this context is just silly.
>he's still replying
Imagine being this much of an egotistical faggot. Complaining about others while contributing nothing.

>>377215
It didn't have to be this way,....

>>377216
It's not too late,....

>>377216
Put in the effort to scroll up, he didn’t even show. What a faggot.

>>377217
Cmon anon, post some pics for the con you didn’t even bother going to since on-topic posting is so important to you

>>377219
>>377220
Sorry, my budget only included 3 cons this year. Don't worry, I've already set aside for next year

Doot

>>377221
God I hope not, the last thing marefair needs is MORE antagonistic non-verbally autistic newfags

>>377219
Another case of a jelly faggot lashing out because he doesn't know how to express himself any other way.
Sad. Many such cases.

>>377223
Clearly your opinion is of supreme importance to this
>>377224
Remarkably consistent, you have fun with those rationalizations

Butthurt levels off the charts. How sad.

I was having too much fun and for the first day I was using my camera strap to restrain my maud plush so I didn't get as many good photos as I wanted to

>>377227
>three different Aryanne plushies
Holy based.

>>377228 there were a few more than that at the ary meetup, I counted 8-10 (I was a little intoxicated)

>>377229
Awesome

This next year looks to be loads of ironic and unironic fun.
I'll be the red-headed cow fur-fag with the "SNEED" sign

(referring of course to the overwhelming outrcry of "REEEEEEE, FURFAGS" in the Mare Fair threads, and not unwarranted)
Neglecting of course, the one issue that horsefuckers seem particularly predisposed to deny and then memory-hole
Don't worry, there'll be plenty of anti-furry signs in addition.

>>377232
You do realize that Mare Fair exists in part because /mlp/fags wanted to escape the incursion of non-pony furry stuff at pony conventions, right?
Of course you do, you're just being pointlessly antagonistic.

>>377233
>non-pony furry stuff
Thank you for that specification
>pointlessly antagonistic
Oh, there's always a point to my antagonism. But in this case (referring to next year's Mare Fair, and not this exchange), I won't be trying to be antagonistic (though, still perched for salt-mining if I get a bite, you know). The worst you're likely to see of me is probably signage advertizing free food at a particular room.
But if anyone wants to cry that there's a furry, I'll be happy to make them. ^_^

Crap, forgot to ask the question that potentiated this update. Eh.

Do MLP-inspired minotaurs count as pony content?

>>377235
I already answered you in the /mlp/ thread

>>377236
Are you Probably or Case-by-case? Cuz I responded

>>377237
I'm the maud anon

>>377238
Oh. well aren't you the impotent thing, crying about EQG

>>377239
look, I know you're a low functioning autist so I'll provide you with a simple english wikipedia page to help you understand what that response meant

Yes, cuz I'm the one who has displayed a wanton lack of comprehension, lol

>>377242
unf mares plap plap

I trust that went how you wanted?

>>377243
Post moar Trixie.

>>377245
there's an unacceptable lack of proper art of these two :(

Question, does anyone have videos of the panels? The tulpa seminar and pony church service piqued my interest. I looked on /mlp/ and ponytube, but to no avail.

>>377247
people are still at the con, give it a week. I didn't tape any panels because I have no *tube presence and my camera is only good for stills

>>377248
I will be patient. I've never been to a convention before, so I am uncertain of when uploads would occur.

That said, I hope everyone had/is still having fun. :o)

P.S. what does mare's milk in coffee taste like?

>>377249
I didn't taste the mare's milk and my buddy who did went home to a week long power outage so I can't ask him. 4mlp thread said it tasted really grassy, like milk blended with hay.
Hotel wifi was fucking awful and the cell towers were slammed because there were a shitload of us. iirc they've still got events planned out to the second (going to the horse rescue that the con funds) so the third is the earliest I'd go looking, since most well produced (relatively, the AV team was kinda retarded) content will come from the con staff

>>377250
This makes sense, thank you. I know that fermented mare's milk is the national drink of Mongolia, and it's something I have always wanted to try. Imagine my pleasant surprise at seeing marechiattos!
Were there any events you enjoyed at Mare Fair?

>>377251
I've never been much for panels at cons but I had a lot of fun at all of them that I went to. As I mentioned further up in the thread the perler bead workshop was probably my favorite, I think a crafts room in general spanning the whole con would be awesome (and a better use of space than the gaming room that was mostly empty)

oh flappy if you're still around here's that twilight I mentioned at the hotel bar. She's yours for a trade next con we're both at

can somebody post the video or a link to the video of wolvan getting rubbed down with the snowpity?
thx

am willing to wait if editing is necessary

Anon mentioned soap pone

>>377256
I saw that, can't reply because no VPN that works with the nigger-ran 4chan. won't be able to reply for a few days because of the drive home.
oh well

>>377258
protip: get an oracle free tier cloud sub and a raspberry pi. Set up a site to site VPN between the oracle box and your raspi, then an openVPN server that routes all your mobile/outside the house traffic back home before it goes out

Does anyone want to discuss/correlate plans for next year's Mare Fair, as well as potentially other conventions? I have a number of personal plans, and I'd also like for there to be some degree of visible /mlpol/ presence: a scheduled meetup (with elastic string disposable paper anon masks in green and orange) if not a panel of some sort.
Mare Fair is the best opportunity (imo) to draw in quality new/old users, an with a bit of strategy and planning we can have more of a "did you hear wat /mlpol did?" presence in the MLP fandom. If there's no interest, wah-hey!, but if there is I'll consider baking

>>377355
It could be cool to have an /mlpol/ panel, or something of the like.

>>377355
I was evangelizing to appropriate people but mlpol is considered dead even by the dissident right people I talked to. Few of us had a decent meetup and I think that's all its gotta be, mlpol room party

>>377364
Yes, but next time. I baked the bread

things worth keeping an eye on. I missed those happenings while I was there so don't know who all was involved and was too busy to check the thread to see what all was happening.

>>377378
This has absolute ramifications for any future site-related shenanigens. Tyvm for the info

>>377383
I mean, no such thing as bad publicity

>>377383
topkek... as far as I know, nobody from mlpol did anything at Mare Fair besides saying "hi" to the few who got to meet up.
not that they care.

>>377383
Include me in the screen cap

>>377385
No, but you know we'll be blamed for the windmill et al.

Lol, ya wanna know the biggest tell that /mlpol/ wasn't involved? Cuz the people reporting it have much better quality images and sources

Actual anons in thread literally dont give a shit, its just [redacted] twitter assholes trying to be relevant by complaining that something tickled a naughty part of their brain. While a "Yeah, maybe not on overtly being welcoming of a site that - no offense - makes alot of inappropriate jokes" is probable, the general impression from anons (that has been seen) takes it as a nothing burger

comment

Looking into thread 41487915 there are some Anons giving the sensible response on how to help MF staff defend themselves again twittertards however it looks like the thread is just an excuse to post "noooo, MF3 never ever, bad nazi killed it, reeeeeee" from the bad actors.

literal and emphatic seethe
Its ALWAYS okay for them, whatever reason, whatever explanation, apparently!

>>377385
can confirm, we just met up and watched tamers and had a drink at the bar

post-con survey is out, check your spam folders. Be sure to tell them you hate furries

>>377551
It will be interesting to see if they ban fursuits given the overwhelming sentiments. Surely they would allow for pony suits, and plausibly pony/series related, but I'm of the mind that fursuits should be restricted to individual rooms, room parties, and scheduled events that expressly necessitate/warrant/invite them (i.e. fursuits welcome, karaoke for example)

>>377552
I honestly doubt it, and I lowkey hope they don't. I didn't see badges on the furries that were there this year and banning them will just make more show up and flaunt their dildos in the lobby

>>377553
I hope they dont as well, I have some interesting ideas for anti-furfaggotry signs to be displayed while in fursuit. However, it does seem that if the intent is to preserve /mlp/ and classic fandom culture then some degree of restrictions - specifically/especially for non-fandom suits - is in everyone's best interest.

One thing that furries can lose sight of is that expressly-furry conventions are open to really anyone. Mario is here, Link is there, there's a trio of amogus over there, a bunch of cosplay anime fags are gathering over at the bridge, etc. It has become second nature to assume that unless otherwise specified, conventions are a permissive space with expected overlap. In that furries also have a (ahem) healthy population of willful con-goers for whom travel/etc is not a concern, a new and upcoming convention is quite enticing. Without clearly emphasizing the central focus of ponies it becomes assumed that the con would become diluted with ponies.
Again to my comment about no fursuits unless called for, a push for green (or orange, or red, or,...) masks is better for maintaining the existing atmosphere

>>377555
would become diluted with furries

Lord, guide snowpity.inc ponies to this discussion.

For the purpose of the following:
1. The term "furries" shall be used to designate individuals with furry swag, apparel, con badges, etc. including entire/multipe fursuits. This category can be said to include a percentage of the MLP fandom who fit in the previous criteria.
2. The following takes the nuanced position that the pony fandom is separate and exclusive to the furry fandom (i.e. some ponies are furries and vice versa, but not all ponies are furries and vice versa).

The problem with allowing for an even tacitly open-door policy with regards to fursuits - and this comes from a proud furfag - is not that it promotes attention-whoring, though it certainly enables it. The problem is that fur suits by their nature draw the eye, even if the furry wearing it is the most wholesome and delightful person.

In that the focus of the convention is celebration of the MLP fandom (with obvious but in-exclusive emphasis on g4) it seems that emphasizing/encouraging more of the existing fandom habits/behaviors should be the norm.
Furries are rife with non-fursuit content that at a distance is all-but indistinguishable from pony content: hoodies, shirts, pants, (ahem) programmer socks,.., as well as classic accessories like bags, con badges, plushies, etc. which are likewise ubiquitous with the MLP fandom and equally indistinguishable at long distance.

This isn't about uniformity, it's about encouraging mutually-sharable participation/expression.

I propose a policy of:
NO NON-CANON/FANDOM/PONY FURSUITS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS

- Canon, to mean expressly visible in show/media/print (including other generations)

- Fandom to include products of 4chan (Anonfilly et al) and creative works (Past Sins, Fallout: Equestria, etc.)

- Pony, to give preference/emphasis to MLP-aesthetic horses (meaning, Bojack Horseman fursuit can fuck right off)
Without having any idea how to enforce such a thing other than revoking the offender's registration (a 1-warning policy seems appropriate), this would emphasize both a willingness to allow furries to be furries alongside a commitment to keeping the focus on ponies being ponies

>>377557
send them an email yourself

>>377558
Fine, but only cuz its a good idea

The utility behind restricting non-relevant fursuits (aside from previous mentions) depends on the demographic:
Ponies seem generally/overly supportive of fursuits of canon characters, as they genuinely (in both senses) contribute to the aesthetics of the con. Fursuiters are still a significant minority of the MLP crowd, and if one wants to get really autistic, there's no shortage of canon characters to make fursuits of. There are literally professional and/or patreon-supported fursuit-makers and youtubers, both of which will make superb quality suits of MLP characters if there is a daytime restriction on non-canon. They literally net profit from every con they go to, and if the structure involves a very legitimate compromise - which I propose the above to be - they'll not only abide but will advise their followers/subscribers to do likewise.
Honestly, I think the non canon/fandom/pony rule should not expire with the sun, but agin, its about compromise

All of this is in the interest of everyone having the best time possible.
Now, the outline put forth (no non-canon, fandom, or pony) would permit my fursuit/fursona but I STILL won't wear it publicly EVEN after hours BECAUSE the point of the con is to respect/promote pony culture. I don't expect all/most fursuiters to agree, so again the pony-centric compromise

As a qualifier to having the best time possible, it is possible that people who are not of the target demographic (whether more furry, normie, press, etc) are in attendence. Ostensibly they should go unmolested*, assuming they are informed and can appreciate that while otherwise not unwelcome that this is a Pony-centric culture/convention. No one is intended to have a bad time, but certain things at certain times disrupt the flow.
Furries have a similar concept in not allowing adult/fetish (assuming the whole suit isnt a fetish, lol) geat until after dark, so the concept of limiting non-canonish wouldnt be especially foreign.

I'd also support expressly non-furry sections of after-hour, just saying

>Any kind of bitching about Mare Fair
What do you want? Just in the panels I was present for, there were: 3 panels including racial slurs (two with multiple instances of "nigger" and one with "chink"), one panel with an ISIS flag and fake AK 47s, one where a bomb threat was read aloud, one with a joke about a con mascot dating a 9/11 hijacker and losing her box cutter because of it, a panel wherein someone married an Aryanne plush, multiple Aryanne plushies just being paraded around, multiple panels wherein explicit material (horse pussy) was shown, several panels with explicit statements about foalcon, and one where someone shouted "kill Haber" and got no push back. What else do you want? How many fewer restrictions do you need?

The only restrictions they have at all are in the public areas to try to keep the hotel from banning them. Because they know that if they are banned from the Mariott, the Marriot will speak to every other venue, and get them banned from every other venue, and then they are fucked

>But there were furries!
There were two, maybe three fur suits. That's it. That's fuck all nothing. Are you so obsessed with furries that it's impossible for you to not notice these, or ignore these? Go hang out with friends or do something, anything, more productive than obsessively thinking about furries all day and night.

I know someone who was banned from every single My Little Pony Convention in the United Kingdom because he implied that he had images of foalcon saved to his laptop. That's the attitude outside of Marefair - to ban as many things as possible and to restrict as many things as possible. Mare Fair thrives precisely because it takes the opposite approach. It is as free as possible and allows as much as possible, because that is the best way to spark creatively, not banning everything.

>mlpol panel
Did none of you attend last year? Last year I was invited by Corpulent Brony (one of the chief organizers, mind you) to be on a panel about Alternative Sites. And on that panel, I talked about mlpol.net and the history of mlpol. I told the story of the board mergers on April 1st, and how I came to mlpol. The room applauded. We had an Alternative Sites panel this year as well which I participated in, though it was smaller, I was late, and Zizzy was leading it, so the panel focused pretty much entirely on technical aspects of operating a website which I had nothing to contribute to
