Astral isn't just a random friend of GSFTW management with some bad opinions. He's an organized hate activist who runs his own Furry-Raiders-clone group. Documented: t.me/conservative... His clique controls normal upstate NY furry social groups and vindictively retaliates at people who reject them.

Massive meltdown in GSFTW official chat today. People are very unhappy with the con's persistence in sticking by unfit leaders. Protest and censorship galore. Scope the weak apology and mod action against "politics" for the words "Star wars quote". This is consequences of mismanagement. (1/6)

Meltdown in GSFTW chat - suppression by labeling "drama" while a member discloses two sexual assault reports at con were allegedly ignored by staff. (2/6)

Meltdown in GSFTW chat - "having people who want marginalized people dead isn't drama" (3/6)

Meltdown in GSFTW chat. "I'm deleting politics" - "are you also deleting the Nazi furs?" "Whoever is in charge does not have the community's best interests in mind." (4/6)

Meltdown in GSFTW chat - "Dashing is friends with these individuals" Fox News was "not invited" - "tell that to the people whose IRL face was all over the news" (5/6)

Meltdown in GSFTW chat - "everything got deleted" - "silencing people looks sooooo good" On nazifurs: "The presence of these people tears cons apart" On protests about them: "kick out everyone who's being political" (6/6)

Today's new GSFTW apology is getting much more of the same public reaction. Mismanage, apologize, get lit up for not sticking by their word, rinse and repeat.

GSFTW chat is absolutely on fire with shitposting comparisons to Free Fur All, complaints about being censored, staff angry at corrupt board, and directly challenging staff to resign.

Can't keep up

GSFTW chat has been completely locked by mods suppressing calls for staff to resign to let the con die and start with new leadership.

If you reached this point, here's the top post again for reference. This thread got longer than a list of GSFTW excuses. bsky.app/profile/dogp... Plus, answer to: why now?

Nazis are so inherently toxic, you either stop them at the door, or have a bigger problem when they vindictively retaliate at being evicted. Case in point; nazifur Chris "Astral" Curtis is crying lawsuit to intimidate people using their free speech to accurately describe mismanagement at GSFTW.

Of course Astral is doing a baby tantrum and playing Karen about people who care about their community. There's no actual case and you can call him a nazi to your heart's content.

GSFTW board don't get how over it is. Everyone has seen how they handled Dashing's bullshit and the nazifurs with utter subservience. They are incapable of detaching from fatal liability.

"No, we'll actually do real action this time and stick by our word without reversing it again, this time will be different, we swear, trust us". Instead of just not inviting Nazis and saving themselves from self-inflicted destruction.

ConFurmed Events recommends not supporting GSFTW x.com/ConFurmedEve...

GSFTW has deleted their January promise to ban hate group members, at some point recently, while they also recently removed such bans without explanation and caused the storm of protest about mismanagement. This was deleted from Twitter, and their announcement channel was entirely deleted as well.

GSFTW also reopened their locked Telegram chat to a storm of protest. They are attempting damage control again, by having Dashing announcing leaving (again), with no explanation for the mismanagement decisions or how he will transfer his ownership of the con.

For damage control, GSFTW belatedly removed chat member W0nder again (after lifting his ban without explanation - why?) W0nder is a personal friend of con management. He says he was banned for "being Republican" when he had posted about wanting to ram protesters with his car and being transphobic.
