Like in its 3rd year it was bigger than every furry con, and then 3 years later it's fucking dying, 2 after that it's shut down

Honestly, I think it was inevitable? The thing about furry cons is that they're about a community - it's why I think the term "furry fandom" is a misnomer, it's not a space that's about being fans of Furry: The Show - and being a community they have intrinsic ties that are much stronger than what "being fan of a show" can provide

To my knowledge, single-fandom conventions either rely on an immense amount of cultural cache (like Star Trek or Star Wars) or they're a much smaller thing (and I can't even think of that many single-fandom cons off the top of my head, there's Supernatural's Jus in Bello in Rome? then what?)

What I'm trying to say is, "furry convention" is i think more closely comparable to "anime convention" or "comic convention" than "fandom convention" as a frame of reference
