I don't want to have to keep making these points so hey: Most people I talk to don't want more than a badge. Furry cons and anime cons are not the same, we know most furry cons don't have the numbers anime cons do to go buck wild with a badge AND a room AND travel.

Getting your badge comped as far as I'm concerned isn't a paycheck, not charging a performance fee (which would be way more than con reg for many people) IS volunteering and I don't think that's mutually exclusive from not having to pay to go in the room you're volunteering in.

hello! here's a list of cons I know of that comp so you can appreciate them and also not tell me things I already know!: AC, MFF, Furlandia, Furrydelphia, Megaplex, ANW, GSFC, TFF, PDFC, Denfur, Aquatifur, SMSC, Fursonacon, Probably others I'm forgetting!

more cons are trending towards valuing this and that's good but that doesn't make people advocating for it irrelevant, the fact that Furlandia took the initiative to RT me and say they support compensating their performers RULES. It sets community precedent.

It was never my intention to HAVE to go FULL PISSED OFF UNION HERE COME THE LABOR LAWYERS about this, I just wanted people that think this is important to collectivize and show in a more unified force of voice that this matters.

I've seen con staff write all of this off as just a vocal minority they don't have to give a shit about, and every time it comes up I see it's a minority because everyone just thinks performers ARE comped because duh it makes sense.

There's a Fun tangent to go on here how this has unearthed AV people dunking on unions because Working Class People Advocating For Better Treatment Is Funny Apparently, like I should be surprised mediocre cis techbros are brainpoisoned by capitalism but lol whatever

honestly i don't understand why reg isn't comped in the first place for djs. its a no brainier lmao.

the excuses we hear range from "lol no budget", to arguing that it's a slippery slope that leads to "if DJs get comped, why don't panelists, why not every volunteer" and tbh the issue with that is DJs probably never should've been categorized as a volunteer in the first place
