Got an email that says “please pay $33 + shipping to get a t-shirt with our ad on it”

There’s people that would actually pay for something like this? This stuff is usually give away for free at conferences and then used as a sleeping dress, no?

    I feel like I became cognizant of this when I tried customizing my GTA Online character in something that wasn’t a nice suit (street wear). After scroling through so much cotton billboard it made get how tacky and humiliating it is. Turned out to be much harder in real life to find non-branded shirts with cool designs, such utter bullshit.

      This is why I love furry stuff. Nomad Complex, Hyena Agenda and Weasel Gear are great. I mean, I guess Nomad Complex and Hyena Agenda could technically be kinda considered branded since Nomad Complex puts their logo on the front of their hoodies and Hyena Agenda has some shirts that incorporate their logo into the design, but the designs are generally really good.

      Edit: okay fine, it’s one of the reasons why I love furry stuff.

        I’m familiar with Hyena Agenda. A friend showed me their shirts because he is one. Never before been so jealous.

          You know you don’t have to be a furry to buy furry stuff, ye? It’s not like anyone’s checking for a “furcard” or anything.

          Besides: for those of y’all boycotting US goods, Nomad Complex is Canadian. It actually sucks for those of us in the US because afaik, Nomad Complex has stated that they’re not attending US furcons anymore. They’ve apparently had issues with immigration and customs prior to Trump, and they’ve decided (and for good reason) not to enter the US for the foreseeable future.
