WHAT IF instead of charging cosplayers and other con-goers $100+ to 3D scan them and print a miniature version, you instead built a huge fake 3D printer that they can pose on the platform, snap a photo and share immediately with frens online, “look what I just printed!”

A desktop FDM 3D printer with a badly Photoshopped Xenomorph cosplayer standing within the print volume.

As a reminder, a LOT of the internet animosity against furries is just thinly veiled queermisia/homophobia. Again, linking to Soatok soatok.medium.com/if-you-hate-... So much of it was trying to crush and humiliate people who dared to be openly weird and enthusiastic. Cannot be allowed.

Screenshot from a somethingawful article reading "A huge, huge motivation for early furry hate was homophobia. That remained the one axis on which we (non-furry dweebs) could punch down, no matter the stated justification. Furries helped mainstream majority-queer spaces. That made them easy to mock, because they were unashamed enough to be public with their weird art and their dragon wings and their rejection of all the suffocating norms that still make mainstream geek culture an unrelenting hell. That invited scorn. It hurt to see others free from the shames that wracked us so. Disgust was the immediate response, a kind of unbodying rejeciton which would seek to purge any otherness from ourselves. Some of us knew it to be queerphobia, and I'm sure that was the motivation for a lot of the early trolling. Others just wanted to be part of the in-group, and there was no easier way to do that than take a swing at a designated punching bag "
