Pittsburgh’s annual “Anthrocon” furry gathering is set for it’s biggest year ever in 2024 with attendance estimated at 15,500 people wearing giant cartoonish animal costumes and presumably having anonymous sexual encounters with other attendees via holes in the costumes, WPXI reports.
“We’re excited to welcome the fursuiters back to Pittsburgh. Each year, we have the privilege of working with the event organizers to establish strong community connections and partnerships that leave a significant and lasting impact on our city, and this year, there are several events on the docket that stand to make Anthrocon 2024 bigger and better,” said VisitPITTSBURGH’s Chief Sales Officer Andy Ortale as he momentarily suppressed his no doubt deep utter revulsion at the furries for their bizarre lifestyle and focused on the fact that their money is still green and thus worth it to the local economy, if just barely so. Or maybe he drove home and spent a few hours carefully checking for any runs in the stitching on his custom-made “Albie the Alpaca” getup, especially around the crotch zipper. Wouldn’t want it to get jammed when he spots a bright pink wolf in heat.
