Well it's the start of August. Free Fur All 2023 just happened pretty recently and as expected, it was roughly the same (but slightly different) as last year's however this one is far worse which will talk about a little later. Needless to say, it's still terrible. If you been following the story here on this blog, I've talked about them in three separate posts; The first two involved Free Fur All 2022 and with scamming people out of money, tied with the alt-right as well as supporting an abusive charity and the third post involved with things leading up to this year's Free Fur All including leaks, mismanagement, a hacked website, Jason taking over the AWOO Association, firing a good chunk of the staff (many of them quiet-quit) and hiring the Furry Raiders as backup staff. I wanted to wait a few days until the dust had settled and boy were in for a tragic one.
Quick Recent Recap:
This is going over the previous post because I've updated it quite a lot. Check out the other posts for last year's event. Anyways, it starts off with people asking for refunds because many of the attendees who bought the Maverick Tier on their website were instantly scammed. This led to the AWOO Associations website being shut down as they suffered an attack. All the money that they earned was never refunded and instead was kept to themselves for easy profit. Meanwhile, Jason wanted to buy Free Fur All and the Association on a whim and did this to basically promote his shitty game Amorous. This no longer falls under the non-profit or under the 501(c)(3). In other words, him and Kabs took over. This also led to the unexpected collapse of Free Fur All with FoxGloveActual (once PeaceWolf's husband which ended in a divorce) being fired on the spot while others had enough of their bullshit and just started quiet quitting behind the scenes. 2_Gryphon backed out and decided not to attend this year, why? because he's a despicable bigot. Anyways, Leaks were also coming out about the board meetings on Rumble as well as doing illegal transfers of the accounts. Leading up to the con, one of their artists left them and resorted to AI Art for their promotions including straight up theft.
The Major Decline Again:
More Empty Areas / Misleading Promises / Low Attendees & Fursuit Numbers:
I don't know where to start with this because there's quite a lot to go through. First off, AWOO thinks that they know a lot about aviation when you know for a fact that they don't. I mean, just look at the people there. Anyways, there was supposed to be one last update that I was going to cover in the previous post but forgot about it. Few days leading up to the con, they were claiming that they were going to give out free helicopter rides to the people who attended. This was a steaming line of bullshit because it's at the same place last year (Glenpool Conference Center) and there was no space for that to happen. Needless to say, they were lying to their teeth. Meanwhile in the discord, many of Peacewolf's fans thought of that and are extremely dumb. It makes you wonder why she has fans in the first place.

The rave got started. No DJ. It's a playlist.#FreeFurAll23 #FreeFurAll2023 #FreeFurAll pic.twitter.com/IzNSidM0Gz

Apart from last year's con and their opening ceremony, this one is even more barebones. It's almost as if they took this drama to fuel it again for the next event. Stallionslaughter (which he was at Free Fur All last year) was there yet again to film the shitshow that was going on because he lives right near the Glenpool Conference Center. In one of those videos, I did see that they brought back the infamous ballpit which was a meme and is still even sadder than the one at Dashcon. It's almost as if the Dashcon ballpit had a child. Anyways, the danceroom was even more pathetic with no DJ. All what was playing was a preset playlist in a big emtpy room. They didn't have the balls to hire a DJ probably because it was too much of the money that they did on the illegal transfer, something that happened back in May.
In terms of the missing promises, they definitely missed that a lot. From what they were describing day by day on their website, none of which actually happened nor ever recorded. Even the Fursuit walk around the building was also never recorded. What about the games? Well, we can safely say that they looked very boring. One game in particular called 'The Watering Hole Game Show' where 4 participants guess what flavor of soda their drinking. Cool idea in theory but here it's bad in execution and it looks like something that Good Mythical Morning would put together within a matter of hours. Afterwards, there was a magic show that would perform on night 2 (July 30). Nothing special there. The Dealer's Den would be featured but not a single soul captured it either in photos or videos.
Now let's get to the nitty gritty part of this Convention and that is Peacewolf stepping in to have a discussion for the closing ceremony. Unfortunately, this was never recorded but the irony in this is that she talks about Cancel Culture without ever realizing she's part of it. From the divorce she had with FoxGloveActual, she definitely fell into the rabbit hole. She goes on to say that they won't be listing the numbers due to the low count this year and get this "Have plans for 2024." They're literally scraping the bottom of the barrel here and we have our predictions that Free Fur All will crumble. With that being said, one staff member of the con stated that they'll have to heavily cut the budget back because they literally spent it all. From what they've got with the Tiers to spending it all on the Safari Sanctuary, I'm not surprised by that.

One thing that I almost forgot to mention was the attendees/fursuiters. As I said earlier, due to the low count, Peacewolf decided not to give out the numbers, so I did the math. Last year (from their claims), they had 207 attendess with roughly 38 of them being fursuiters (raising $8,000 for the Safari Sanctuary). This year it has dropped down to 55 attendees with only 20 fursuiters (raising $6,030 for the Safari Sanctuary). That's a loss of 73% attendees and 47% of fursuiters. It's not really a surprise since Jason took over to basically fire their entire staff then bitch about it most of the time about not having enough staff. Of course, we know Jason & Kabs history for them being zoophiles. It makes you wonder why they haven't collapsed already. I still doubt that the con will happen again but what are your thoughts?
Bonus Content:
I very rarely do something like this, but this is some bonus content. Now I know that in the previous post I would talk a lot about Orion (stardragon777) and FoxGloveActual and this is pretty wild. Orion wrote a tweet about the con being a disaster (deleted but can be found in this thread) which it completely was. Then a user by the name of TerraDraca posted a response about her experience and enjoying it. This is very ironic because she thought that the drama surrounding the con was all fan fiction and of course friends with Peacewolf. The comments under the thread is basically TerraDraca bitching in support of predators. Once again do not trust people like TerraDraca or Orion as they're both really bad.
Meanwhile over at FoxGlove's twitter page, he did post a line of tweets talking about the con when the opening ceremony was going on. He goes on to say:
"I'm not expecting it, but please don't cause any trouble this weekend. If your mad at someone, we all know the Free Fur All situation was entirely avoidable, so don't give them anyone else to blame their failures on. None of the congoers are to blame either, & some are friends. If anyone needs a better outlet, come to my place this weekend and we'll Settle it in Smash or hit the range. It will be better for everyone and more fun. I'm putting together some loose plans for tonight and tomorrow. I appreciate everything everyone has done to help. Please just remember, helping me isn't the same as hurting people who hurt me. I know you will, bc you guys are the wonderful souls who made things like AWOO and Free Fur All so friendly & close. Thank you so much for everything. Guys, please... I know this isn't just about me and I accept you all have been hurt in different ways and will react differently. I'm just begging you to please be loving. I want to mend this rift, not to make it permanent. The win condition is rectification, not destruction. Seeing the con we built together in such a state just makes me feel sad. I'm not feeling happy about it at all. Many friends put their hearts into this and I feel awful for them. It may have been unavoidable, but they didn't deserve this. I wish I hadn't failed to prevent it." - FoxGloveActual
Now I highlighted some key details about this statement. Apparently, FoxGlove is in financial troubles which I do feel bad, but don't expect me to give him brownie points because again, this guy was part of this. Also for him to say that the wonderful souls that made AWOO and Free Fur All so friendly and close, that is all a lie. In fact, Foxglove used to have an alt account under the handle @foxglove9001 and would bitch at people who would talk about Peacewolf (long before the divorce), so I don't buy that in the least bit. Another thing is that FoxGlove is still continuing to suck their dicks rather than moving on from the whole thing. Again, do not trust FoxGloveActual because he's still considered bad.
UPDATE: August 10, 2023:
Ok so just for clarification, Free Fur All 2023 isn't talked about much as to what it was back in 2022 when it started. Just so you know, I will continue to post updates about new information. It just won't be as frequent as to what it was last year.
Since I'm not going to talk about FoxGloveActual in this update, I will mention that he's still continuously bitching about the con and how he wanted to change it which I don't believe at all. This is also the reason why you don't trust people who started Free Fur All (others included). We already know that Free Fur All is tied with the Alt-Right since the beginning of the first announcement. When Jason, Kabs and Peacewolf reached out to hire the Raiders for their staff, that's when all hell broke loose. What they had left for the Free Fur All staff brought in a wave of terribleness to the con (or as most people call it Fashcon). I've mentioned it in the previous post but this tweet status explains it further.
UPDATE: September 4, 2023:
Well, it's been roughly a few weeks since I last talked about Free Fur All 2023 and to be honest this isn't very surprising to say the least. We all know that the con was a disaster, so I decided to drop in another update for the start of September. This one is also short but it's wild yet again. The first one has to do with the accounts defending Peacewolf and the con. These people who are braindead fucking idiots won't even be honest or admit that the con was a fucking disaster. Of course, it's the people that suck their dicks because of them being "hero's." What's not surprising is that TerraDraca (who supports pedophiles and is a total bitch) have been lurking around in the comment section of these posts in defense just like she always do. Anyways, the last thing is the information that is surrounding Peacewolf. Apparently, Peacewolf is stepping down as the chairman of Free Fur All. We don't know if this is true or not but even if it does happen, the only people there are Jason, Kabs and members of the Furry Raiders.
UPDATE: September 10, 2023:
So, I'm going to make this update pretty quick as there isn't anything new to the table. It was also the fact that I ended the last update abruptly and forgot to put the rest of the remaining sources. About a week ago, I talked about the braindead fucking idiots defending Peacewolf and how the users who report on Free Fur All said that Peacewolf was stepping down as chairman. Well, a few days later, it actually happened as if you go to her profile on Twitter, you'll see that it doesn't say anywhere about her being part of FFA in her bio. I guess you could say that it's a win but then again, she's still awful along with the rest of them.
