I don't think they're not about narrative, it's just that their narrative is a heist movie and Zootopia is The Wire with furries

That being said no movie has made a better joke in the past decade than the simple act of casting Fortune Feimster to play a beaver

jfc do it

Partner is on staff. Past 3 months have been basically like watching a tornado

I think attendees should be less dicks to volunteers and volunteers should be bigger dicks to their boards of directors
December 1, 2025 at 10:45 PM
Yeah I think my hasty reply is getting misinterpreted, it's not okay to be a dick to con staff

Also there is no amount of money you could pay me to work under some of these fucking con directors so that's my knee-jerk reaction to solving this with forced volunteering
December 1, 2025 at 10:45 PM
Yeah, same, for sure, people should not be dicks

Anyway if everyone saw how the sausage was made at these cons you'd either kill attendance or replace the customer service karens with a union revolt and actually now that I say that out loud, maybe this is a great idea

Idk man this discourse always goes in circles about being nicer to volunteers instead of running cons better so they don't destroy their staffers' mental and physical health, which seems like a harder problem than getting people not to be dicks but whewww maybe it isn't

oh god no please just charge me $500 so you can pay staff nope nope nope

And it's very good that the people putting months of work into it get fairly compensated because they can afford to devote their full time and energy to it, and nobody has to feel as bad about yelling at them when they fuck up

You know that Wolf Yama, he always said, "Live life with your entire ass"
December 1, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Oh yeah it's shockingly unsustainable
December 1, 2025 at 6:46 PM
What else is new
December 1, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Yeah no this con basically almost didn't happen cause the board waited too long to vote to approve paying their equipment vendors, you do not under any circumstances have to hand it to them
December 1, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Yes this is what is happening, probably

MFF board is slow as shit and terrible at communicating, lower level staff are mad as hell, this is far from the first crisis they've fumbled, but as far as anyone can tell they're working on fixing this at the 11th hour
