First for mares
Second for that retard seething about venue.
SWORD AND SORCERY THEME LET'S GOOOOO
Fourth for CUTE MARES WITH CUTE SNOWPITYS
>>42995712There is legit still not a venue though
We are the knights who say... MARES
>>42995705Who's the fairy?
>>42995719It's literally on the website, you turd.
>>42995719You are literally so dumb I am embarrassed to share species
Look at my wife shes so sexy
>>42995705>It's finally here, the announcement (You) have been waiting for. >It's the new website for Mare Fair 2026!I was waiting for a venue but ok
>>42995722>We säy... Märrs!
Fuck the OP reply to me instead /)
>>42995729its in the website dipshit
>>42995705hey so are we finally going to get a fucking explanation for why the last venue was canned or are you going to keep memoryholing it forever like a fucking dickhead
What tier allows the full line skipping?
D-Dead pony in charge????
>>42995705>Redditfair
So... we will be on our best behavior in front of all the Disney tourists right?
>>42995743The Rosen screwed us over Fuck em and move on
Aryannebros, don't look at the CoC... all in bold letters ;(
>>42995743>Firearms>Firearms are not allowed inside the hotel, either in public areas or guest rooms.
>>42995747Anon, I...
>>42995747Having both early access and linecutting for a large amount of sponsors didn't work out so well. So Mare Enjoyers and above get early access, and Mare Fanatic and above gets linecutting.
>>42995758Mare Fair's so cucked now...What happened?
Important info
>>42995765What happened is Mare Fair is on its 4th venue in 4 years.
>>42995705Why is the optional resort fee mandatory?
>>42995766Thank you.
>>42995770It's mandatory up until you ask not to be charged it when you check in They should honor that request (it's in our contract as optional)
>>42995770First time?
>>42995743>>42995759Totally called it >>42950167
>>42995758>>42995765Arryane is just ammunition for fags on bluesky to shut us down from every future venue for hate speech. it should come as no surprise to /pol/fags that most of the venue owners are probably jewish. also using mares as a mouthpiece for human politics, regardless of stance, is annoying and gay. if you allow annoying /pol/ nazis at your con, you equally allow annoying antifa fags to shit it up as well. I'd rather just have a convention about mares, thank you.
Finally they confirmed that Soiree is futa.
>>42995705What the fucking is that thing even?
>>42995798fucking kusofair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>42995765Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with what caused the Rosen to renege on its contract. Attend a pony convention for pony and friends, not for political signaling. It really is not that hard.
>>42995804That's a Scholar's faerie, anon. The art's themed after FFXIV. Also,>Rainbowshine as faerieBased!
>>42995812That's not a Rainbowshine fairy, she just has the same mane style.
>>42995807it’s insane how retards can’t piece together that it’s 99% likely Ary and guns were why we lost the venue
>>42995819KILL YOURSELF!
>>42995767Well, our first venue was shut down and demolished in the middle of a con cycle, and the second one was always meant to be a temporary venue so we could keep the same dates for that year. It was too small for Mare Fair. So when people like to bring up the venue swapping, most of it was trying to work through the Wyndham randomly closing. If you remember, they welcomed us back and it was all set up to be our second venue until they closed their business.
>>42995804Its a Mareiad
>>42995722>the knights who say ZI-
>>42995804
>>42995705>ooo ya>ze high fantasy? >zhats pefekz Ahnon>I has my soldier uniforms>kana I use zhat? >I haz no invitestations? >oh...THIS is what you fucking psychopaths in corporate want. Bring back the mare with blue eyes!
>>42995837I don't see it. I'm not shitting bricks.
>>42995840Why not just remove the swastika? Everyone knows it'd be her but without the rule-breaking symbol.>B-but the swastika's the whole poi-Shut up, I know. It's still her regardless.
>>42995804>>42995831>>42995837Retardits a Sunbeamiad
>>42995840There's still a chance
>>42995837That's my cocksleeve
>>42995849You want to take away her special talent? Despicable.
>>42995851>We must ensure the existence of our species and the future of pony children. It might just be crazy enough to work
I have 7 months to make a friend to go to mare fair with so I'm not spending it alone for the 4th year in a row
Reserved my room early this time so I could guarantee I got what I want at the venue
>>42995861I KNOW, ANON, I KNOW! But it's the only way!!
>>42995840Oh sure, just lose the con a fourth venue because you NEED to rep your larp political ideology.
Potion Seller chatbot thing?
>>42995779Thanks, I was wondering about that.
>>42995879Did you ask about her potions
What exactly is hight fantasy by the way? Is this it? Warning: dangerous hate symbol (only open if you've taken your anti-trigger pill today)
Ouch.
>>42995883she said the thing!
>>42995705and just like that, Neighcon is forgotten before it ever began
Anon died doing what he loved
>>42995895I haven't forgotten
we need art of her
did they announce the attendance for 2025 yet? I didnt see it.pretty website
>>42995870mf has a dicksword
>>42995904I need her to give me a blowjob while her mouth is covered by the veil
>>42995911tru, come join us
>>42995904Um, Anon, that is art of her. What we need is boob armour art.
>>42995895More cons succeeding benefits everyone, it's not a competition.>>429959091,262
What did she mean by this?
>>42995917fair flyer reaction to me giving her cunnilingus
>>42995909pretty sure it was 1200 plus a change >>42995917oh, youve beaten me to it
>>42995917>it's not a competition.It is though. Most people only have so much money to spend.
>>42995705OMG I just know I gotta go this year.>Europoor anon hereis it obligatory to sleep in the venue hotel or can I look for my own accomodation and still go to the Fair??
>>42995921They're months apart
>>42995917Look familiar?
>>42995913huh? your penis won’t fit in with the veil in the way retard
Every time you post Aryanne a griff loses their life
>>42995923You can stay wherever you want. Con hotel usually sells out anyway and people get accomodations elsewhere. It just sucks ass having to walk in Florida weather. Imagine the hottest day of the year in your country with 95% humidity, a much stronger sun, no breeze, and the chance of an absolute downpour of rain at any given moment. And no, the rain does not make it any cooler.
Is this event for real mares or for transmares?
>>42995931anon, she lifts it up and it drapes over...
>>42995934It was once a place where mare would glory.
>>42995895More pony cons means more fun, Anon.
To anons who are mad about aryanne...Why do you care about offboarder con?
>>42995917>1,262Offboarder con
Anniversary stream: 700Mare fair: 1200
>>42995804>>42995850No that is definitely a Stare-iad
>handmade lyreIs it a toy or...?
>>42995942 I'm just here to shitpost. I haven't attended a single mare fair. Jokes aside though it is a slippery slope. The whole mare chanting butthurt fiasco is a clear sign of that. Don't let the normies think they have a fighting chance.
>>42995951sorry thats a misprint, theyre giving you a handmade Lyra
>>42995901Look at that FAT ASS on the CUTE MARE!
fim taught us not to bully anypony because they're different. Would Pinkie Pie be happy that a pony, who wants to be your friend, is being excluded from your party? I didn't think so.
>>42995705>Bringing accessories (such as plushies, stickers, posters, clothing, etc.) that feature politically oriented original characters (OCs) is prohibited within the convention space>This includes OCs such as Aryanne, Veronika, Molly Tov, Leslie Fair, etc.libertarianbros... we can't bring capitalism to m(florida)are f(foalcon)air...
Newfag hereWere previous MF okay to attends as a solo attendee? Or will I get bored as hell if I don't go with a premade group?
Good friends can always put their differences aside. That's something the staff don't seem to understand.
>>42995965>feature politically oriented original charactersThats right chuds, centrist ponies get the rope too!
>>42995967>Make some friends
>>42995967I went the first year barely knowing anyone and connected with people there. Later years I went with groups that I met here.
>>42995973Billions must rope
Another year I can't go because I'm poor and retarded
>>42995879/chag/ bros how do I plap her and make her give me her strongest potions?
>>42995949So?
>>42995973>fence mender>not fence sitter
>>42995972What's even the point of doing your funny racist mare if she befriends with a zig?
>>42995983She's not a LLMare. She just has a bunch of limited answers she can give.No plapping for you.
>>42995976The thing is that my spoken english is not perfect, so I fear making friends on site might be difficult for me...I'm still hesitant to go because it'll be a super expensive trip, and I don't want to ruin it...
>>42995990dyewts? Not all zigs are bad. This is one of the good ones.
>sun themed potion priced higher than moon themed potionWTF WHY ARE SUNFAGS PLACED ABOVE MOONCHADS FUCK YOU SUNFAGGOTS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>42996000Who's the bad evil Nazi pony then?
>>42996001Good. Everything looks correct.
>>42996001It's because they know we like to spend more on our wife!
>>42996000There's only one single zebra in the whole show.>"But the comics!"Less canon that barbies
>>42995990>not knowing racists are making best friends with other type of racistsHow very bigoted of you to assume all the brony racists are of the same skin color. I do hope we will get another naacp like organization running their own con at the same time this year.
Guys is this real???
I have a really, really strange feeling that something bad is going to happen this year. I don't know why..
>>42996012Is the magic of autism, brokers all the racist barriers in the name of mare
It's me or there's something sus about marefair logo?
>>42996011And that's one of the only good ones.
>>42996023Horse pussy
>>42996027Anon, you crazy! Thats just innocent looking balloon!
>>42996018Yeah, right next to Hasbro's HQ
>>42996019That would be mare fair 2027.>>42996018 ntrvth k e
>>42996031Oh uhm yeah! It is... hehIrl mare fair logo
>>42996035>fucked it up
>>42996019
>>42996040hey that was my idea
>6 lines can fundamentally collapse this conversation>6 lines
Aryanne people are almost as insufferable as twitterfags because they feel the need to grandstand just as hard, but they use a small horse so that makes it okay.
>>42996045Don't say that...Just look at herAlso>people>implyingThe autism of one Aryanne poster is enough to rival the stability of this board.
>>42995999You can always go up to people at lines or hanging around the lobby or lurk the threads for any meetups happening. There's always a few anons who post for something to do.
>>42995798Immensely cringe
>>42995758Public display of Nazi symbols was never allowed. Stop concern trolling.
>>42995999I went 2024, completely, utterly alone with broken as fuck English and still managed to make couple of good frens.Most important thing I'd say is to keep open mind. When you make the decision and commit to the trip, don't second guess yourself. If you actively think about "not making the trip worth it" while on there, you're sabotaging yourself.
Whats wrong with her horn its going backwards
>>42995722The window-condensation will be COVERED with MARES
>>42995830What happened with the third venue?
>>42996061Reminder<-----
>>42996072As far as I know? The actual in person employees of the hotel loved us and had no beef. Unfortunately, like any industry, decisions aren't made by the actual boots on the ground.
>>42996072The third venue has fallen...
>>42996072No official word yet but it's very easy to read between the linesThat anon who said it was the gun pictures was probably right
Are the travel expenses worth it for a canacuck poorfag? I don't have any American friends so I'd be going solo.
>>42996066I dont like Fun Riser hair band design, its weird that it goes over the horn, I feel like it would be much better design if it was drawn behind it.
>>42996090>Symbols, language, or behavior associated with any ideology promoting hate or discrimination are not permitted at Mare FairSo no fagflags?
>>42996066Her horn going behind the headband has always been some cheaty non-euclidean thing
>>42996090you can always join in as a janny or a/v staff and hook yourself with roomshare with other staff people, that plus the free food for being staff will sure to offset some of the cost >>42996096I cant believe Mare Fair banned antifa, what a bunch of fascists!
You ammosexuals need to seriously examine why you feel the need to compensate by bringing your death machines to an event celebrating colorful cartoon ponies. Maybe try actually watching the show and learning something about harmony instead of LARPing as some tacticool operator.
>>42996096>promoting hate or discrimination>discrimination So I can't use the mf balloon, because these guys discriminate against my favorite blond mare
>>42996104I own 10 guns. I shoot them all regularly. I conceal carry daily. I am not bringing my guns.
>normie fair fags have their unpaid handler on speed dialStating facts is not against the rules. Not liking mare fair is not "trolling".
>>42996104>Maybe try actually watching the showWhere rainbow lasers blows the villains fuck out?
>>42996090Where will you be coming from? Maybe I can use someone to split driving costs.
>>42996104Don't worry, you brits are allowed to bring plastic spoons too.
>>42996104>try actually watching the showStop pretending like anybody who goes to these things actually care about ponies. That includes (you).
>>42996089That's unconstitutional. Let's move a few minutes down the road to Polk county where based Sherriff Grady Judd will guarantee our right to mare arms.
>>42996104Bringing this bad boy to the con, and there's nothing you can do about it. This is me by the way
>>42995719https://marefair.org/venue/Oh my god this isn't a site, it's art. Anyways here's the venue.
>>42996113Southeastern Ontario.
Alright, lets game plan now what will happen this time to get kicked out of this venue. Ammonia in the HVAC?
>>42996129Wheel of Funishment active shooter.
>>42996129Let's just say...I have a little something planed. hehehe
>>42996129CWC runs a panel on main stage
>>42996129Corp having sex with a horse
>>42995967From what I've heard MF is the best con for being solo.
>>42996157There's no reason to call your mom that.
That would be fucking funny if a kid somehow sneaks into this event. Luckily, that will never happen.
>>42995705nice art
Hey folks, it's almost midnight for me, and I need to catch some sleep in my bedroom. Please keep the Aryanne posting. /)
>>42996167What happens when a pregnant femanon gives birth at MF?
>>42996174corp devours the child
>>42996174the baby shall nurse on maremilk and become the chosen one
>>42996174Legend has it a filly is born
>>42996174Is Fair Flyer the father?
>Inviting celebritiesPlease no.
>>42996171I hope you die in your sleep I hate you so much
Does it feel like the badges are significantly lower value this year compared to all the previous years?A bunch of older perks have been removed and prices have been increased. Look at aficionado which cost $1400 more than last years, but has less perks and a suite thats significantly cheaper than last years suite despite the price increase. The lyre does not justify a $1400 price increase, a smaller and cheaper room, and a loss of other perks
>>42996128If you can make it to Toronto, we might have something I can work with.
>>42996104>there's no reason to bring a gun to a place that is unexpected to need to use oneWoah. A perfect opportunity to rob some people at gunpoint or throw them in the rape van because I know I wont get shot. Britbongs are fucking retarded and cant think of any other scenario where theyre not sucking some fat goberment cock. I will agree the faggots who posted pictures of waving guns around the guest room should kill themselves. Guns are tools, no one cares. I dont even reveal to people I have a gun on me or one in my room because no one else needs to know.
>>42996201Yes that's perfectly doable for me.
>>42996089That line is clearly based on the hotel's policies. The about page with the explanation of various controversies makes it pretty apparent it's the politurds at fault. It's well known one of the things that caused a lot of problems is the retard selling an aryanne plush in a public space where staff could see them.
Where the fuck is my prohibiton theme, Mare Fair ???
>>42996210Except they explicitly said it wasn't related to Aryanne or pool symbols or "unrelated events" in nearby salon rooms, and was something unexpected. That is one of the few things that IS officially known.
>Taking the bait this hard.Aside from /pol/ and /k/, /mlp/ is one of the most pro gun boards. Good bait though
>>42996206>faggots waiving guns>>42996210>retard selling AryanneYou fucking lame ass normies are ruing Mare Fair. Just fuck off
>>42996231You know what must be done.
>>42996209Cool anon. I'm not 100% committing to anything right now, but I plan to drive to Mare Fair this year. Having someone to help split a hotel room for the drive there would help out.
>90% of anons here won't attend Mare Fair.
>>42996253Proud to be part of that 90%
>>42996253Because it's a bunch of offboarders instead
>>42996253>Off board circle jerk> Low effort bait>Room temperature iq replies
>>42996253Not my fault I'm broke....Maybe a little.
>>42996273>>42996274Anniversary stream: 700Mare fair: 1200
>>42996287Anniversary is for off boarders.
>>42996277can we push back registration until silver prices go back up? I am in financial pain
>>42996198I'm a bit surprised by another spirit badge, and that it's sold for 550 bits. I know the fancier stuff explains it a bit, but that's too much for merch from a convention I won't be able attend, just want to paypig for. I'd rather send the difference to Kim.But still, good to see the con happening for another year, despite troubles.
>>42996182I like this legend.
Please tell me there's gonna be another Salon 13. I need to know if I'll be able to get my under the table fillies.
>>42996250Yeah of course. I don't mind splitting.
>>42996303/mlp/ is for off boarders.
>>42996321No you fuckers got us banned fro the Rosen last year
>>42996335I dont think it was the fillies, anon.
>>42996335We wouldn't have gotten banned if you fuckers were more discreet
How reasonable is it to actually expect to get one of the more expensive badges? I have money now.
>>42996342Be there the moment it launches.Had to be last year.
>>42996342about a 3
>>42996342What do you count as the more expensive badges, anon? Anything above enjoyer tier?
>>42996337I hear it was because the NAACP
>>42995705This site has ZERO options for booping mares, worst site ever 0/10 I hate (you)
>How do I make a good panel?Outlook good!OK I'll do it! The haters can go fuck themselves.
Is it too early to book hotel rooms?
>>42996378They haven't even announced the venue yet
>>42996351Thanks dashie
>>42996378No, but it is too early to register for the con.
>>42996350Anything below schizo tier.
>>42996335>>42996341anon...
What would happen if Mare Fair suddenly disappears?
>>42996408it would be extremely saddening
>>42995705This years theme is fa/tg/uy approved.
>>42996407>non-con salon
>>42996408That would never happen right...? Right? I mean if the staff did something extremely fucked up, then maybe?
>>42996342Everything up to and including Mare Appreciator is unlimited so you're guaranteed to get one if you just have the dosh.Last year, I think the last limited badges at Mare Enthusiast sold out in about an hour. So you'll get one if you're there when sales open.The actual highest tiers will sell out in a few minutes so you may or may not get one even if you try the instant they become available since the website will crash or be very slow due to a traffic surge. But you can try.
>>42996407>The reason is being withheld at least until we sign a new contractOk so now we can hear it
>>42996407So since Aryanne didnt get us in trouble that means staff is just banning her in their own. Fuck staff.
numget
>>42996446Pinwheels didn't get us banned. But they DID make it harder for us to find a new venue until they did the whole banning. Keep the fucking /pol/shit at home retards. There's a difference between posting Aryanne on the thread and taking her to an IRL con.
>>42996460Aryanne is /mlp/. She would get deleted on /pol/. Fuck you cuck.
Which waifu are you bringing in this year?
>>42996124Oh my god... is he allowed to do that??
Does the venue just charge for the first night and then when you check in it charges the rest? I'm trying to figure out if that's what the blurb in the cancellation policy means.
This chat is useless.
>>42996490Strawberry Sunrise!
>>42995870Just make friends at the venue you brainlet. I knew no one when I got to MF3 and now I have many frens who I look forward to seeing again and wouldn't hesitate to share a room with.It's best to arrive a few days before the con to meet cool anons before the normies show up.
>>42996518Yes, it's a depositIt means you pay a little bit up front at the time of booking. If you cancel within their specified timeframes, you get the deposit back and are not charged for the rest. Otherwise, it goes toward your stay. It isn't an extra fee.
I want the coc mare to take my cock
>>42996322Great. I'll make sure everything is good on my end first. Keep an eye out in the threads.
>>42996598Don't call her the Corruption of Champions mare
>Bringing accessories (such as plushies, stickers, posters, clothing, etc.) that feature politically oriented original characters (OCs) is prohibited within the convention spaceI get that drawing them on the spot is completely fine then?
Mare Fair 4: No Fun AllowedI bet the Jews did this... God damn I hate Twatter.
>>42995870Just room with me coward
>>42996598Ah yes, GeldavereThe headsmare of Gelding Grotto
>>42995951A real, handmade lyre Like a real one that you can play and shit It's not a toy
>>42996342If you're not staff, then forget about it, as staff gets early access.
Great, the booking system is still using the same shitty backend. Ordering tickets will be a fucking shitshow just like last year.
>>42995705>new websitebeautiful!>updated Code of Conductthank god.>Dungeon Marei am in love!!!
>>42996642Is it cursed?
>>42996647>>42996598I think you're lost, pal. Leathercon is two venues down
>>42995999Dark Doomer's accent was awful but I still think he's cool and I got the gist of what he was saying usually. You'll be fine! You can always type what you want to say on your phone and point it at them.
>>42996090Probably not, just in my opinion traveling to the US is turbulent right now with border nonsense. Wouldn't recommend it.
>>42996127oh so that's what the rest of the wallpaper looks like. Wow, Soiree and Mimosa look great together.
>>42995870Hi anon! i'll room with you, but im a gross tranny.
>>42996668shit, forgot part 1.
>>42996665Have your passport? Yes? Then not a problem.Easy flowchart.
>>42996677
according to the website's files, the new OCs are called Potion Zeeb (Potion Zebra?), Fortune Teller Mare, & Dungeon Mare. maybe theyll get actual names eventually, but i love them regardless.
Staff has become cruel.
>>42996682Potion Mare?
>>42996682Damn, I thought we were getting a bunch of new mascots I was so excited
>>42996451underrated post
>>42995954One of con chairs literally made a video calling people claiming mare was offensive idiots
>>42996717WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS ONE POST IT AGAIN
>>42996727>
>>42996727>LightsolverOne of the Neighcon chais.
>>42996732That’s burying the lede a little bit. More specifically, he was one of the two founders of NeighCon (Corp and Lightsolver) who was ousted from the fandom for attempting to take over Fallen Oak Rescue from Kim (Corp allowed this) and was accused of keeping two horses alive at a different horse rescue and raped them repeatedly. To this day I will never understand why Corp is so buddy buddy with him. Unless he's a zoophile himself, which people have speculated, from his anni stream posts and his Dicksword banner
>>42996732>chaischairs. FUCK
>>42996735>anni stream posts and his Dicksword bannerpost proof or GTFO.
>>42996732Lightsolver hasn't been involved in NeighCon since October.
>>42996738>he doesnt watch the anni streamnigga im not gonna spoonfeed you
>>42996735There is no banner?
did yall know that this post from >>40796008 is one of the head staff at mare fair taken at harmonycon last year? i know dogpatch press is reading this thread so i think this is a good time to announce that the fellow in this picture is one of the founders of mare fair and is currently staffing on the tech team (check filename for the identity of this masked individual!)
>>42996749Nigger are you retarded? You think he would keep up the pro-zoophilia banner after the Dogpatch Press article dropped?
>>42996752Proof?? Because the sharty is trying desperately to off-topic post right now and I don't believe you.
>>42996753I'm guessing you just mean a sexy looking Twilight Sparkle or something because that's how you faggots fucking work.
>>42996752>posts spoiler image>(check filename for the identity of this masked individual)Yeah.
>>42996598It actually was going to have a joke about getting your dick chopped if you misbehave on the COC page, but that corpulent devil took it away.
>>42996760You must be desperately new if you really don't know what the zeta banner means
>>42996769never heard it before in my life because I'm not one. Kind of feel like if you know about that, you're more likely to be one yourself.
>>42996752Everyone in MF staff already knew this is Bitwise, no one gave a shit then and no one gives a shit now. Fuck off jew. If anything this makes him more based

which day of the week was mare day last year? i'm currently booking and need to know how long to stay at the hotel
>6 hours into venue announcement>people on bluesky already calling up the hilton to tell them about corp and lightsolver's zoophilia allegations>now this new holocaust museum allegationsoh boywhat's the over/under of whether the hotel doesn't pull out this time
>
>>42996820Let me ask you this: since when have Bluesky users actually accomplished anything?Also, Lightsolver is banned from staffing, why would the hotel care about him at all?
>>42996778>checks imageGave me a chuckle, thanks.
>>42996831I feel like the hotel would care about Corp being outed as a zoo… Since he's the con chair lol
>>42996820These people fucking hate us so much that they genuinly spend hours of their lives thinking about us. The fuck are we suppose to do besides just do our best to impress the hotel and act better than what they claim. Theyre somehow MORE retarded than the retard class.
You silly Americans with your silly little culture war.This is why China is getting more pony merch btw.
>>42996837Well, he isn't one, so I guess that works out then.
>>42996820I'm telling 'ya, itshould've been JW Marriott. Itreally should've been at there.
>>42996839Salute to the winning team.
>>42996843and you know this for sure how?
>>42996847The evidence is that he's retarded at moderating his video website, show me him actually abusing animals next time.
>>42996855Corp you're not fooling anyone fatty fat fuck
>>42996839you suck cocks.
>>42996820I have to imagine that Snowpity gave them some kind of advance warning. They wouldn't have just left the hotel in the wind, right?
>>42996839How pissed off would you be if I told you I've talked with staffers who have confirmed hasbro intentionally trying to avoid appeasing bronies because of this exact stuff. Not the actions themselves mind you, the social media.
>>42996813Mare day will be on September first this year according to Kim.
>>42996864I would hope so, but I wouldn't put it past them to try to sweep it under the rug. Most of the MF staff I've talked to don't quite think like corporate...
>>42996864You are right.t. Knower
>>42996813Tuesday.
>>42996683Before you think NeighCon will save you don't bother. The head of that janny squad is vending at Harmonycon and the deputy is a massive leftie retard that thinks pride isn't political.
>>42996912Everything they do isn't political.Everything we do is.
>>42996912IDK about any of that shit, but they told me they don't want to deal with, ya know, fucking swastikas.
Okay, now that we have the venue, can we fucking know the reason the previous venue has cancelled the three years contract?
>>42996127>>42996670I'm trying to view the whole image but the site won't let me cause everything is locked, any help?
>>42996745Then your posts are disregard.
>>42996941Ctrl+- a couple times in your browser, not on a phone but on a PC
Is it still worth going if I haven't used this board since the anni?
>>42996916Everything is political
>>42996926This. Please.I would like to avoid whatever bullshit we did to get kicked out last time.
>>42996947Yes
>>42996944Dont have a functional pc so phone, Im fucked.
>>42996947nice b8 m8 I r8 it 8/8
>>42996965Rumor has it ciderfest con staff are trying to corner the market on cons and said it was ran by racists and had Nazi sympathisers attending.
>>42996926It was the guns.
>>42996994Considering the warning about guns not being allowed into the hotel, even into the private rooms, I'd say this might be true
>>42996994it was the guns being posted on social media and handled like toys more precisely
Maybe don't post pictures of yourselves pointing firearms at plushies while inside the hotel. >oh but it was unloaded huehuehue
>>42997026pls understand anon they are professional retards whose personalities consist of 4chan stereotypes
>>42997026>Gun safety>In Americalol, lmaoBesides, the first rule of gun safety is have fun.
>>42997038natural selection at work
>>42997037Honestly I would fully understand it if it was a one time retard moment. I'm overly cautious because I learned to shoot when I was 5 and my gramps was a cop who drilled that shit in hard. But the fact that people are repeating >>42997038 but unironically genuine makes me unsure if some of you should even be within 100 feet of a gun.
>>42997026That's some bullshit right there.
The official Hilton Hotel Policy is no guns on the premises. This has nothing to do with MF3
>>42997061it does and it doesnt anon they are emphasizing it to get it through the thick retard skulls of our fellow anons so we dont get kicked out for gun related shenanigans two years in a row as well as covering their own asses and hopefully the cons if someone does act a fool
>>42997067More that this is a hotel policy and if you fucking retards fuck it up, we're not going to have a con at this rate due to the refusal to just act like a normal person around normies.
>>42997067>literally making shit up wholesale
>>42997061>the constitution can be overridden by greedy florida jewsI wish we could take YOUR rights away.
>>42997072>just act like a normal person around normies.You are asking the impossible.
>>42995837>START DOING THIS
>>42995770seriously. cheapskate ass hotel charging $25 a night for freaking wifi.on another note, the chatbot is dumber than a brick
>you don't understand, i HAVE to bring my [non pony related item] to a my little pony convention i HAVE TO I HAVE TO!!!!!!!!admit you dont actually care about ponies and just want to be a nigger
>>42997072why are you getting angry at me for simply pointing out how it is infact mf3 related and I didnt bring a gun so keep me out of your finger pointing>>42997075what am I making up exactly anon
>>42997081The 25$ is just for high speed wifi right? The hotel can't be that jewish putting wifi behind a paywall right?????
>>42997087they don't want a bunch of 4channers spamming CP on their connection
>>42996981I'm dead srs. The anni was a lot of fun but I haven't used the board since October.
>>42997102like half the anni crew work MF
>>42997102if you are serious come and have some fun but remember to bring your 9mm and wave it around like you just dont care
>>42997087>The hotel can't be that jewishWho do you think runs the hotels? Hello?
>>42997116>9mmI will bitchslap your twink ass with my 1911 so help me colt

>>42996198The lyre is $800 by itself
>>42997171NIGGA IT'S THE EXACT SAME RULE BUT USING MORE WORDS.Just bring the funny white horse disguised in a rabbi's suit like always.
>>42996198The new venue is more expensive than the previous ones, if I had to guess. Better jack up the already crazy top tier badge prices than the basic ones. Most of us don't have money to spare and every $10 counts.
>>42997205I'm surprised there's a venue to begin with. I'm only pissed off at the wifi fee. And I'll be even more pissed off when I realize that exists because likely the mobile signal sucks.
>>42996425There are legal procedures that may take a few more months to complete and then any announcement will need to be filtered through lawyers
>>42997211I'm not. Money gets you what you need, especially a venue during the offseason in Orlando, a city full of hotels and con centers.But I am a bit surprised that the basic fairgoer badge only went up by $5 (Or not at all? I forgor what it was last year.) and not more.
>>42997204Oh so a cosplay changes the OCs now? Don't be retarded
>>42997171This also removes commies too, so good work.
is it dumb to cosplay a character from the show even if they aren't fantasy themed?
>>42997232Commies are never honest about their ideology. Cultural Marxism is all about making one's agenda so insidious that anyone objecting to it can be demonized as easily as possible (see also: "Love and Tolerate")
>>42996735Corp didn't find NeighCon It was a guy named estonia and Lightsolver Corp was a relatively late addition
>>42997225>Money gets you what you needMoney like what we pay each night?I'm mad at the air so far tbf. If they mean exclusive wifi access within your room (that is, not from an access point 150 feets away), I'd pay it definitely.
>>42997009Basically this An official announcement might be a couple more months out There are legal matters being worked out
>>42997238Shh, don't tell the truth Anon, it makes the schizos look bad.
>>42997238And Estonia yeeted Lightsolver almost as fast as the backlash began kek
Can't wait to be back at MareFair guys
>>42996655fuck (You)
>>42997236Who's going to stop you?
>>42997087You don't have unlimited cellular data? Those plans are pretty cheap desu.
>>42995879Who else thinks this is the worst art on the entire site so far? All lines are wobbly. It's so unpolished and the snoot is just not there for me. Looks piggish desu.
>>42997236>Is it a problem if I cosplay a pony at a pony convention.Anon, you're lucky there isn't an IQ test to cosplay.
>>42996820It's the aryannefags crying they're not allowed to insert their politics into a pony convention and build swastikas at the pool again.
>>42995705Similar to the last mare fair website, will there be a page dedicated to explaining the Mascots?
I dont think it was the guns. The biker group was open carrying rifles and shit and nobody at the hotel cared.
>>42997342We're the bikers taking pics of themselves posing with their guns in their rooms in unsafe ways with alcohol all over in the background then posting them to social media?
>ask what themes we want>disregard mobster feedback to do a safe fantasy theme insteadLO fucking L.>ironically no guns at all this year>Lesliteral Who banned for some reason>there will be nonpony fursuits to own the chuds>there will be prideflags sold to own the chuds>MARES is chanted at other conventions anyway>Snowpity Inc is done caring about these threads anywayI hope everyone has a gay old time with another successful year, but nobody can deny this /mlp/ convention has been a fascinating downhill lobotomy experiment. I'll be impressed if z-word passes and salon 13 fly this year or the next.
>>42997363Its a travesty that your mother dropped you from so high dashy.
>>42997354Idfk. I wasn't at their room parties and I'm not on their social media. Neither are you. Also I'm sure all the guns were unloaded and therefore safe.
>>42997368the hotel was spammed with pics from social media And the people in the pics were obviously Mare Fair attendees and not bikers
Just remember: Every picture you post to social media is going to be sent to the hotel Comport yourselves appropriately
>>42997378The bikers were straight up in the lobby with guns in the open. If the hotel didnt want guns they would have stopped them but they didnt care. Mare Fair should hire me as their lawyer.
>>42997368You really ought to read the Rosen firearms policy, then you'll understand. >>42997363Some retards ruined the gun stuff for everyone because they had to get drunk and point their guns at plushies and had to take pictures and had to post said pictures. I hope those Anons realize they fucked it up for everyone.The Z-word passes were done the past 3 years. I've been told that they aren't really interested in continuing the joke because really, where do you go beyond a black card?Most of the staff lurk these threads heavily.It's pretty unlikely pride flags will be at the vendor hall, remember who vended previous years.Fur suiters are inevitable, just remember to antagonize them when you see them. They deserve to be told off.Salon 13 successor is already in the works.Anyway, come to Mare Fair~
>>42996650I bet it has numget engraved into it.
>>42997391Personally I think the whole gun pics got us kicked out thing is bullshit. It's just staff coming up with an excuse to ban more things.
>Wyndham across the street from venueIs this a sign?
>have to get Mare Admirer to make Corp say your funny shitpost on stage nowGAY
>>42997342>>42997391The hotel doesn't know by pictures if they are or aren't loaded. Also they did (key part being past-tense) have a firearms policy that allowed storage in room and carrying in-case through the lobby. You just could not have it visible. Concealed carry was a different matter. However their policy on their website had its wording and overall safety policies updated at some point. tl;dr - You cant have a firearm visible on premises (I infer this includes visually on social media - evidence that you took it out of storage in your room).Regardless if it was or wasn't the reason for the fallout, the policy this year is pretty clear. If gun range trip is going to happen again - things will have to be done differently, otherwise it becomes a matter of relying solely on rentals available - which really puts a damper on some of the interesting things people have brought before. Since this is officially a Disney property, unlike other Hiltons in the area - they don't allow any firearms on the property, period.
Anyone want to call the hotel and ask about designated outdoor smoking? I'm praying we get to chuff back some fat darts
>>42997454Bus stop, behind the hotel, theres a gate between the pool and the area. Two benches, half covered. Don't scream nigger, don't make a mess.
>mfw I realize the convention is less than 1500ft from the building my mom used to work in
>>42996127>Literally right next to Disney World>On Labor Day weekendHoly Christ I thought I could get away with booking a hotel nearby to save money, but they're all gonna have the Mouse Tax™ anyway
>>42997473MIMOSA NO
Can we get the Aryanne posting again?
another salon 13 please
>>42997476Yes!
Don't forget that Downtown Disney has a real hot-air balloon.
>>42997478Yay!
>>42997477Are all fillies welcome?
I miss the old mare fair. All creatures matter!
>>42996847>guilty until proven innocent
Seems Fun Raper is the one I'll make a painting of this year, though since I'll probably be starting it much earlier I might have enough time for another. If I do, which should it be?
But there's nothing really stopping me from just walking inside with my Aryanne plush, right? I'm a green belt in karate, so I did I can kick any bouncer's ass.
>>42997523hell yes, let's get more anons to level up in karate (windmill kicks specifically) they won't be able to stop us all
>>42997470Fuck... Everything around is going to be expensive af around there. God I hate Disney.
>>42997402True that z-word passes are old. There are always ways to be edgy. My point was that those artists probably won't want to touch any of that sort of humor because they're softening up for the sake of the convention, and turning contrarian against annoying /pol/tards. It's also explicitly against the CoC.>staff lurkI know. I've seen the complaints about how awful these threads get, which isn't really the sort of not caring I meant.>pride flags unlikely, remember who vended previous years.I saw some guys selling tamers stickers with pride colors just last year and other gay stuff I've since forgotten. Half the fandom likes it (including some lowkey anons here), it's profitable, and Snowpity isn't banning or discouraging it. Why wouldn't it be sold or worn?Anyway, you'll see if I come.
>>42997535I've been practicing my push ups (I can do 7 now)
>>42997539It's pretty doubtful that Jargon or AnonTheAnon will get less edgy, they'll probably just find a new new joke to sell. Z-word passes aren't specifically prohibited regardless.The awefulness of these threads is usually just the typical autists that are hard to discern if they're trolls or actually butthurt. (the arryfags and guns-at-all-costsfags.) I don't really like that political ideologies are banned but identity politics isn't banned, but you can't really ban fagflags without being accused of muh oppression.Yes there will inevitably be some pride stuff, but most vendors won't have it, just like in all the previous years. And any that do very likely won't be obnoxious about it.
>>42996121>That's unconstitutionalAnon, have you seen the news? We live in unprecedented times of Republican gun rights infringements. The new normal is being written as we speak.
>>42997523>do this>Mare Fair staff physically obstruct you from entering the con with their fat sweaty bodies>beat the shit out of them>CorpulentBrony shows up>you are distracted while, Twifag beats you instantly with his wushu skills>go to jail>get sued by ViolaVaquita and the Mare Fair cabal>counter-sue for freedom-of-Expression, goes to Supreme CourtNODon't do this.I BEGGING YOU

>>42997554Yeah sure, it's only the gun nuts and aryfags that are the ones butthurt and awful to read through around here. The artist cabal are totally not feeling pressure to be safe edgy on their 4th venue. All that agreeing on fagflags only to excuse it away as no big deal and bad optics. Get outta here, staffman. I know this fandom is super gay. I don't need your damage control to want to go see friends again this year.

It seems you're projecting quite a lot.
Well, at least you know better than to try-and stand on that legless argument with the empty-ass brain of yours. Sorry that you lost.I got what I voted for.Go and try some Ruby-Ridge shit and fight the feds, it will be fun to see you.

>>42997554There is going to be M-word passes instead that grant you the right to say 'mares'.>>42997807That lazy ass 15 should fix the website so you can actually click on the signposts.
>>42997406I kinda understand the liability concerns on the part of the hotel, but what was in the photos to prove they were taken in the hotel at all? That could have been a group of anons at the gun range, or in someone's house.
>>42997730Thanks anon, I look forward to seeing the results when they're done.
>>42997720>>42997739now shut the fuck-up.I don't wanna hear another peep outta (You).

>>42997833It was instigators from people who run those 2 other pony cons that are staffed with troons/gays.
You /are/ right though. I /WILL/ never be a woman. And that's a good thing.
Serious question: Is it SAFE to enter the US as a non-citizen right now?
>>42997865Wow... That looks like shit!
>>42997865You are literally only in trouble if you are an "asylum-seeker" who lied and said you were in "trouble" or "seeking-refuge from violence" or whatever, something.And in that case, you entered during the 2020-2023 years when President Joe Biden fucked-up "everything" and let the left the borderwide-open(andstopped vetting forrefugees,letting basically any-oneclaim Asylum.)
>>42997865Depends if you want to come as a tourist yes, if you stay longer than your visa, no.
>>42997865Oh yeah...you're also "in-trouble" if you are a guy on the F.B.I.'s most wanted list.But that's not you... right?
>>42997881>you're also "in-trouble" if you are a guy on the F.B.I.'s most wanted list.It's rough.
>>42997876... source? I think this is wrong

>>42997884Well if you're visa's expired you're obviously fucked, too, but that's on you.Have a valid passport and/or a Work visa/greencard and you're good to go.Here's your (You).
>>42997833>what was in the photos to prove they were taken in the hotel at all?The background of the photos being a room that is clearly at the Rosen. I saw them but cant be assed to go find em. One the retards was the guy with the G36 so if any of you were at range day and know who it was make sure you rip that guys god damn nuts off when you see him.
>>42997652just pointing it outi'm from yurop and we have it even worsesad to see regardless
>>42997895I just feel it's morally correct to call you out for lying.
>>42996994Dude, I'm so sick of hearing this. The hotel did not give a single fuck about the guns. I straight up told them when I checked in, "I have these bags with a bunch of guns in them. I'd rather not leave them in the car, but I will if you'd like me to."They didn't care. Not even a little. The guy replied "As long as the guns aren't visible in public areas, it's fine."
>all these normalfag problemsFeels good being a real fan of the show and not having to worry about these things. Enjoy your pride flags and fursuits lmao.
>venue is right next to disneyworld>will be crawling with kids on labor day weekendIs it too late to revoke Salon 13's vending privileges?
>>42998037>fursuitsI, for one, can't wait to see the shitfest that the furfags are waiting to throw.
>>42997204Nope. No white, blonde mares allowed According to them. >>42997523They had the police waiting around last year for people to start shit like that last year. You think they won't this year?
>>42998078It's actually a very light gray.
>>42998065Just put Salon 13 on the Epstein files. They'll be safe.
>>42998078>They had the police waiting around last yearDoes someone have the pic of the police officer staring at a booth in AD or the ones playing in the Gaming Room?
>>42996614Exactly what I thought.
So if we'll be right next to Didney Worl, then how are the dining options and other services around the venue? Ridiculously overpriced?
>>42998132If you go into Disney Springs a lot of shit is overpriced, with the cheaper options there not being particularly good. It's more for Disney Slop shopping and sit down diningAcross the highway there's fast food and a waffle house tho
>>42997807Here
>>42998180Well I don't mind walking a little. I just hope I don't get honked at again for crossing the highway and stopping the traffic with the lights.

>>42996066Im pretty sure its just artists not being aware of how the band and horn are supposed to be placed, from what I've heard the band is supposed to be behind the horn but a lot of the artists are kinda numgets and forget and welp that happens.
WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD
btw a very good strategy focusing on the website launch and not the venue announcement
>>42998369Conservative freaks like 4efb will still try to preemptively nuke the venue though, and you know it.

What the fuck is a Spirit Badge?
>>42997171the funniest thing about this is that the thing with /pol/ being founded because of Jeffery Epstein is going to make the aryannefags livid.Maybe /mlp/ can recover from the /mlpol/tards.
>>42998357I dunno, it matches the model pretty well to me.
>>42998401livid? nigga we were saying pol was infested with jews since the beginning, it's been obvious and just confirmation that ZOG owns you
>Mare Fair does not - and never will - support any form of hate or extreme beliefs of any kind, nor do we tolerate the presence of harmful or disruptive conduct at our events. We're a fandom convention centered purely on the appreciation and love of My Little Pony and our shared communityWhy can't Aryannefags understand this?
>>42998428Aryanne IS a pony. Unlike Discord. Fuck off to a furcon you creature-loving faggot.
>>42998428Aryanne is about the love of ponies. Ponies first, ponies forever. She's always been about turning the dreaded windmill into a symbol of love.
>>42998400A spirit badge is what you get if you want the sponsor goodies but won't be attending the con.
>>42998459Actually Aryanne hates mudponies and birdbrains.
>>42998428Political extremism should be treated the same as religious extremism. If you don't unconditionally agree with everything, then you are one of THEM and an enemy who must be eliminated. Dissent is not allowed.
>>42998447You can bring Aryanne, just not with the swastika on her cutie mark.
>>42998400It's for the ghost Anons so they can still attend. You didn't think dying would get you off the ride, did you?
>>42998488No you can't.
>>42998520says who?
>>42998522Its in the rules.
>>42998543huh, they changed it since I last read it. Guess you're fucked in that regard.
Aryanne will go through the same process as all prohibitionism. Now that it is no longer regulated, but banned, she'll be passed around secretly, which will require more staff to monitor and enforce that specific line of the CoC. I wonder sometimes why some aryanners don't see that MF is the only con that moreless tolerates them. But the answer to that kind of questions on this board is always: autism.
>>42998566The prohibition cosplay idea seems very appropriate now. Maybe I will bring an Ary plush and a gun under the jacket of my 3-piece suit.
>>42998566the problem is the only people comparing about her are twitterfags, who don't actually attend MF but will bitch and moan until the y get their way, which is what exactly had happen now despite lasts year having 0 people doing swastikas at the pool. And since they can see their tactic working they will push further to remove "problematic" elements from MF until it becomes another generic pseudo furry-brony con just like all the other cons are now.
Everyone bitching about the krautpone, meanwhile I'm more concerned about the wall of damage control https://marefair.org/about/full/More than half of this is trying to stamp out all the rumors and it all reads like they're trying too hard.
>>42998543Whether we allow Aryanne imagery or not, conceding ground to ideological critics will not alter their fundamental opposition to the convention or to the broader fandom they view as irredeemable. Haters are not engaging in good-faith, their goal is disruption and diabolization, and they will manufacture pretexts regardless of our compliance. We have already seen this pattern: past allegations ranged from firearms handling to unrelated personal drama to zoophilia and more. Everything there will be nazi, racist because you pay attention to the critics. Removing one supposed flashpoint simply invites the spotlight to shift to the next.Yielding on this point establishes a dangerous precedent. Classic appeasement dynamics where each concession signals weakness and invites escalated demands for what result? Nothing. No better reputation. What follows logically? Restricting Anonfilly for its association with trolling or "hate speech" adjacency? Vetting artists and musicians for their private social media opinions? Banning military cosplayers? Prohibiting anti-furry stickers or any decal deemed provocative by an undefined external standard? Even extreme hypothetical like mandating pride flags or pronoun badges would fail to satisfy their irk against us because the objection is not truly to specific symbols but to the existence of an unapologetically independent, non-mainstream space.This only undermines Mare Fair's core appeal: a rare IRL manifestation of /mlp/'s anarchic, creative, and contrarian spirit. Sanitizing the event to preempt criticism only alienates the dedicated core attendees who value that freedom most, while attracting none of the critics we hope to placate.The result: Attendance doesn't feel free even if they don't care about Aryanne, creative expression atrophies, internal divisions deepen (as we police each other for compliance), and the unique energy that distinguishes Mare Fair from generic corporate cons evaporates. In incentive terms, we reward bad-faith harassment and punish our own community. For no result, another drama will erupt on Bluesky, they will find dirt on any con member, staff member, and build a narrative about it.You'd be far better to define clear, minimal boundaries focused on actual safety and legality, then stand resolute.Venues that rejected us over manufactured outrage were never reliable partners anyway or should have defended yourself better: You are not responsible to the action of some. Resilience comes from building a con true to its roots, not from endless self-censorship in pursuit of approval that will never arrive. It takes courage to do this, I hope you will show you have any.>>42998566This is worse: Obliging the staff who believe the same values as we all do, who work hard to secure our freedom to monitor and control if someone dares drawing a blonde mare is the worst thing you can do to them. What will happen? Ask them to destroy their sketchbook? To shred their white pony toys?

>>42998650>the problem is the only people comparing about her are twitterfags, who don't actually attend MFNahWhen I was leaving last year, I actually ran into a girl at the airport who specifically complained about Aryanne, as well as foalcon stuff. Some black artist or another who was giving Mare Fair a try because she'd heard good things, but was basically miserable the whole time.
>>42998750properly filtered
>>42998708No matter how much or well of an argument you make, the simple practical truth that stands in the way is what has been mentioned many times before: If they are openly supportive or allowing of content like Aryanne, those kind of things can completely collapse any chance of securing a venue for a convention - as no hotel wants that kind of risk to host something so politically divisive/antagonistic. They don't understand what are or aren't jokes or parody, and you know that as soon as a windmill is visible, normal people will freak out. So unless you can take ownership of a hotel and convention space and have the freedom to do whatever you want, its the game that Mare Fair/Snowpity has to play if they want to continue.What I still find hard to believe is how many people keep getting angry over it as if the changes are being made out of purely desire rather than out of necessity - and that they can't imagine that realistically you cannot just act like you post in-person and keep complaining endlessly. Genuine unhealthy forms of autism like this are sad to watch.
>>42998708>What follows logically? Restricting Anonfilly for its association with trolling or "hate speech" adjacency?aryanne was the sacrifice for a new venue. no hotel would touch the con without proof that they were not actual nazis. anonfilly is a harder sell to normies as a nazi pony without a swastika cutiemark. >Vetting artists and musicians for their private social media opinions?already happens. its why horsesexhaver wasn't allowed at 3 and its why there were some vendors at 2 that didn't return to 3.>Banning military cosplayers? Prohibiting anti-furry stickers or any decal deemed provocative by an undefined external standard?officially no. unofficially look at how often they say they're against hate. the jannies will be threatening badges over this while the leadership wring their hands and say gee, i dunno guys just like they did at the tranny flags in the hall at 2.>Sanitizing the event to preempt criticismheres the real fun one. wikipedia only accepts 2nd party reporting for sources. the only way they can combat the dogshit press article on their wikipedia page is to have the news come and report on how nice and family friendly mare fare 4 is. thats the real reason this is all happening. they just want to make their wikipedia page friendly and they dont care if they have to kill the con to do it.
>>42998794>If you disagree with me you have an unhealthy autism and its sad to watchGet off your high-horse
>>42998683They deserve every bit of rumor drama for still vagueposting about the cause of losing the Rosen amongst this huge wall of damage control.>we simply never imaged this character in any context related to our conventionHA, bold lie.>Mare Fair has been inspired and shaped by a common appreciation of dedicated fans across a wide range of eclectic spaces and online communities. It's made our event a truly special place that appeals to a wide mix of audiences. >>42998750This is why Snowpity was always wrong to refuse to brand as an anonymous board convention. They keep pointing to the funny green man in their promos like it's a filter, and then spreading word on social media that "nooo it's not a 4chan convention, we're for all bronies like bronycon was!" and then invite whiny bronies like 4everfreebrony.
>>42998461>
>>42998794It’s idealism vs. practicalism.Sorry but as much as I want the thing to be ideal like you guys do, practical convention would lead to groups who are hated by every sane normalfag (commies and nazis) to be banned.If you think it would lead to more bans, then slippery slope fallacy applies here.
>>42998767>>42998826From what she told me, she realized well enough beforehand that MF was supposed to be the chuddy 4chan convention, but she was also sick of the way Charlie runs cons and was shopping around for an alternative to those.
>>42998794>as soon as a windmill is visibleI have the right to draw a white blonde pony. her cutie mark being just a pink heart, no hate symbol, no hotel will be this scrupulous about that. You are exaggerating things adopting a retard's logic or being a retard yourself. Also explain to me why and how Leslie Fair is a hate symbol. If this is not far-left withchunt.I think all of this prove one thing: MareFair staff don't have the balls to defend the community or artists.
>>42998821The apparent inability to compare the reality of the situation to what they desire and notice that they cannot coexist without compromise. If not genuine inability, than its simply ignoring - which is worse.
>>42998846>practicalismI wonder how practical will it be to kill the con by turning it into another Trotcon.>>42998750>pecifically complained about Aryanne,Were was all of that Art stuff ? All I saw was the custom Lego bit and a guy in shirt with her (I guess the "I hail the Celestia zigger!" guy also counts?).
>>42998750Why do you care. One person tried and didn't find it to her liking, many others will do, I have been to a dozen of conventions and meetups, even MF, and none of them are changing their policies because someone didn't like it. There are things I hated at Bronycon or EFN, there are things I loved there too. But they have integrity.
>>42998882>integrityAnon you are living in a time of historic lack of integrity, all the way up to the political voterbase and leadership. The point is valid considering the current social climate.
>>42998853I think what this has proven is that Aryannefags are the most retarded people in existence if they can't understand why hotels may not like having swastikas or a character literally named Aryanne in their spaces.Please, please, please go outside for once in your autistic life.
>>42998949But anon, how are they supposed to go outside if their banned from places outside their home?
>>42998366>we're going to normie world!
>>42998978Is Aryanne gonna turn into a neet since she can’t go outside anymore?
holy fuck this about us reads like the ultimate streisand bomb
>>42998882You seem to be reading a lot more into my post than what was intended. I don't care; I was just refuting a specific point.I don't think a convention should change to appease these types, nor am I suggesting that's what's happening here. Personally, I'm of the belief that any rewordings to the CoC are part of an attempt to court new venues, rather than broader demographics.
