I'm gonna keep being annoyingly preachy on this. Growly is the product of a justice system that cares more about the money it can make by encouraging recidivism than it is invested is rehabilitation. If we want to see those like Growly stop hurting people, reform is necessary.

Otherwise all we can do is rest until Growly gets released again, or the next Growly comes along. These problems don't just go away because we sweep them under the rug.

I think this is very important, and I also think it's important for the fandom to work on how it handles these situations better as suggested by Ash. The system is broken and needs fixing, but that doesn't mean we can't do work to protect ourselves and our own in the meantime.

What I wanna know is how he can afford to go to all these cons, usually at god level. Like what kind of job can he get as a convicted child predator

That too. Like where does the money come from?

He is a part of a large furry business that scams furry artists and sells furry art at furry conventions. He makes tons of money at furry conventions selling famous artists artwork. He also never pays the artists. This means he can easily afford furry conventions.

What business is that?

I forgot the name of it. I don't attend the furry conventions, but all my artist friends kept complaining their art was being sold without them being paid. If I didn't have brain damage from that coma I'd remember important stuff easier...

Oh are you talking about InkedFur, because that one is run by a different pedo sicko. (Sangie, not Growly)

Growly worked there before actually. Growly is no longer an employee I am guessing? If so, that is good news. I could use good news.

We need a concerted effort to change the laws so that cons have the teeth to keep him out. Yes cons should be trying to keep people like him out, but under the code of law, he was sadly in his rights to be there

Afaik private events like cons actually DO have the right to bar access potentional patrons for any reason Some cons HAVE banned sex offenders, its literally just because Growly was giving tons of donations to others he was allowed in to them

I always wondered how he was able to attend every single furry meetup and con no matter where when how far how much etc. Used to throw a furry meetup and he would always somehow show up. We didnt know about his past until after the MU disbanded. Bizarre stuff

I actually remember us finding out his past while gathered around a laptop in your apartment sometime after we took the meet to Magic Mountain, and we decided we just wouldn’t do it again. You were busy with school anyway, but in a way he contributed to that meet disbanding.

That meetup has potential until we found out a pedo kept showing up
