PTL On Tour: Anthrocon 2024

Hold on to your tails, Pittsburgh! Anthrocon has returned to Pittsburgh to embrace the fabulous fun of the furries. Daisy was at the convention center this morning to get a first look of Anthrocon 2024.

Really cool to see this positive coverage of Anthrocon. Wish I coulda gone but i live across the country 😑

[@mothepro1515]

i live in Australia 💀💀, the other side of the world

[@jezamoonspell221]

Me too I live west side of united states... and I really really wanted to go to AC... although I will be going to BLFC. 💫uWu 💜

I'm a furry from indonesia

[@alyxgraff9121]

Wow. I had no idea furries could be interviewed on the local news. Love the positive news coverage for once.

[@arvurebantra7639]

Oh my goodness that Wickerbeast! WOW!

[@tylerwilson531]

If you don't know, their name is Aurora! She's a really nice person that also staffs for Furality (VRChat convention)!

[@arvurebantra7639]

@@tylerwilson531 A friend of mine is on Furality staff and knows her. I just completely forgot she had such an amazing fursuit.

[@thepurplewicker]

@@arvurebantra7639 Thank you guys for the kind words 💜 Glad you all like my suit haha :D

[@cocafloof8990]

I REALLY love your suit- enough to ask did you make it? I feel weird asking about it lol but I adore how it is built.

[@slayer_reworked0000]

Furries are just so amazing!! They're so wholesome and kind!!❤❤

[@AnonymousUser-ww6ns]

The furries are amazing. The convention people are not.

[@ShadowSabrewulf]

I Love the furry fandom so much and props to Pittsburgh for showing the fandom such hospitality every year

[@Ech0TheCerva]

Gosh I wish I could attend this year

[@JayDisneyD23]

I’m gonna attend a furcon for the 1st time next year hopefully. Just waiting for my full fursuit to be finished.

[@thenoodeeateryuhh]

Same (Minus minus the fullsuit lmao I don’t have the money for that) what convention you going to? (If you’re comfortable with sharing! No pressure.) I’m going to ANW

This video described furries so well omg

[@Sipkewoif]

yessss

[@Mangomakesfursuits-23]

Yippeeee im going to get my badges in a couple hours :DD

[@corvus2327]

So sad I could not make it this year, but the lack of uncle Kage in this.

[@timeghost5000]

highly anticipating my favorite tweet of the year: Andrew McCutchen’s “Furries” Pirates baseball about to pop off!!! The furries are in town!! 🤍

[@Partypooper12]

Furries are probably by far the most accepting community ive seen by far.

[@sharkyfish3492]

you guys ALL ROCK so much !

[@TheRealBlackspider2k]

So nice to see some positive coverage on furries by local news sources. The furry fandom receives too much hate, even today, so having local news bring a positive light to the fandom is a welcome sight indeed.

[@ManyArmedMooseDei]

I didn’t know American also had amusing news peoples. I knew in Oz we certainly do, with cases like “Captain Underpants” and motorised Eskys about the roads of Perth, and Japan has excellent news as well. Though it is pleasant to see an amusing and pleasant news interview does exist in America. In follow up of the underpants hero, in the interview he said he’d already gotten a call from Victoria’s Secret about the matter.

[@That_one_slayer-e5c]

I always want to go here since like 2020 but I probably can’t 😭

[@DrawnbyaDog]

They raised over 100k im so proud 🎉

[@nyxstarbright2590]

Furries are amazing and so kind! 🤩🤩 Momo is so cute! 😍😍

[@yesandnogamerproductions5733]

Damn, the annual Pyro main con is looking good this year. But fr, I'm happy they're raising money to help the sanctuary take care of elderly dogs. Lil' Momo is so freakin cute

[@grumpy_mvtt4585]

this made me cackle as a pyro main

[@KatDoesCrime]

LMAAOOOO I was just about to make that joke, and I scrolled down a bit just to see that i've been bet to it! I see you too, are a man of culture And I totally agree, Momo is adorable!

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

I have a question are furry conventions free or do u have to pay?? Please answer I've been wondering

[@bersl2]

Conventions charge for admission.

[@JUP1T3R-0N_F0UR5]

@@bersl2 dang alr thx for telling me!!

[@bean11213]

Costs up to about 30$ for 1 admission

[@bersl2]

@@bean11213 1-day admission

[@fidgetthedalmation7433]

The convention itself is pretty cheap. As someone else said, just like $30 per day. Now, the traveling, accommodations, food, etc… that’s a lot.

[@aquatic4425]

pittsburgh pennsylvania really needs to be freed from this madness.

[@anthonylucero6650]

Tell me about it😒

Bro, they like them there

O hell nah

Ow hell yeeeaaaaaaahhh

[@AnonymousUser-ww6ns]

Interesting concept expect the anthrocoon has been known to kick out people for no reason. Im not spending $250 just to get kicked out for no reason.

[@bersl2]

"no reason" Not following the rules is not "no reason".

[@A_A610]

Textbook case of "missing missing reasons"

[@AnonymousUser-ww6ns]

Do I need to be more specific

[@AnonymousUser-ww6ns]

Okay I’ll be more specific if you take a picture or video with them with their consent. The anrthcoon security will come and escort you out citing you are causing violence and will threaten you with calling the police . When in reality you did nothing wrong. I’m for the furry community, it just I’m not going to spend $250 just to get kicked out.

[@AnonymousUser-ww6ns]

If you would like an example look up TOM IRL I’ve got banned form furry convention.

[@anthrolitestudios]

I just don’t like how fursuiters move and idle- like- can’t you stand up like a normal person- I mean you’re not even acting like a cartoon. And those hand positions Jesus Christ

[@bean11213]

They're embracing their fursonas.

[@anthrolitestudios]

@@bean11213 but why does their fur sona gotta move so weird

[@A_A610]

They're hobbyists, they do it for free because it's fun.

[@anthrolitestudios]

@@A_A610 I am one too. I just don’t get many of the others. At least in suits

[@bean11213]

@@anthrolitestudios Some fursuits have a small fan in them so they have to move around a bit for the air to get in the entire thing. (I think)

I really wanted to take my date who's a feral cat to the con this year but bigots won't let open zoofurs attend. :(

[@user-mh2vs7lx9f]

Sorry but this is ridiculous

[@vvvxt]

The city of Pittsburgh has begged to differ for 18 years

[@Ech0TheCerva]

So? What’s wrong with being weird and goofy?

[@toddpieper7322]

like basketball

[@Xiodot]

Say it's ridiculous, but it brings millions to the city every year, so there's no reason to stop it lil bro

[@ndrew_B]

It is kind of ridiculous, but that's kind of the point. Events like conventions are meant for people with common (often niche) interests to come together and express themselves freely. Maybe it's weird, but there's nothing wrong with being a little weird every now and then. :)

[@Duck0possum]

It’s so good to finally see positive news representation on furries, And it’s respectful too! Glad that they actually talked to furries instead of gawking from across the streets ❤️‍🩹
