Statement Against Nazi-Furs and Con Chair Change
On January 13th, DashingFoxie tweeted, "It is with a heavy heart that in light of recent medical concerns and events within my personal life that I, Dashing Foxie, will be stepping down as con chair of GSFTW."[5] The same day Garden State Fur The Weekend tweeted, "we will be moving forward as the Board to review and appoint a new Con Chair as soon as possible while adhering to our policies."[6] On January 14th, Shy Matsi accepted the position of con chair for GSFTW.[7]
2 days prior to DashingFoxie's resignation, GSFTW issued an official statement against Nazi-furs and the Furry Raiders.[8] The con chair change was linked to the ex-chairs affiliation with the Furry Raiders[9], and accompanied by removal of users of GSFTW chat groups who were involved in activity condemned by the con and the mass resignation of staff due to the board's initial inaction to the previous Chair's affiliation.[10]
