'''Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con''', commonly referred to as '''TTFC''', is an Oklahoma based [[furry convention]] calling itself "'''''Oklahoma's First Hotel Furry Convention'''''".

== History ==

Founded in August 2018<ref>[https://twitter.com/TTFurcon/status/1030860570197741568 ''It's finally happening.

Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref> in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the [[convention]] is a [[W:Nonprofit organization|nonprofit organization]], registered under a [[W:501(c)(3) organization|501(c)3]],<ref>[https://www.sos.ok.gov/corp/corpInformation.aspx?id=2113038303 ''Entity Summary Information''] page on the [[W:Oklahoma Secretary of StateOklahoma Secretary of State]]'s website. Retrieved ?.</ref> with [[artist]], [[fursuiter]], [[fursuit maker]], and [[streamer]] [[PeaceWolf]] as the [[chairperson]] and [[president]] for its inaugural year in 2019.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191003225639/https://tailsandtornadoes.org/about-us/our-team ''Our Team''] page on [[Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con 2020]]'s website. Retrieved February 23, 2024, via the [[W:Wayback Machine|Internet Wayback Machine]].</ref>

=== Con Chair change ===

On December 1, 2019, chairperson and president PeaceWolf resigned{{clarify}} from her TTFC's leadership post<ref>[https://twitter.com/TTFurcon/status/1191109253844615171 ] post on Tails and Tornadoes Furry Convention's X account. Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref> after a [[fandom]] backlash against the con<ref>[https://twitter.com/TTFurcon/status/1189957918646509568 ''Tsebresos has been withdrawn from consideration as a Guest of Honor for TTFC 2020 - effective immediately.'']</ref> for nominating American [[christian]], [[artist]], [[fursuiter]], and [[fursuit maker]] [[Tsebresos]] for TTFC's 2020 [[guest of honor]].

This public reaction was due to the discovery of some of Tsebresos's old [[W:Social media|social media]] posts (especially on '''X'''), which were viewed<ref>[https://twitter.com/DreamsRestless/status/1192276677700788230 ''Welp, I was planning on doing a thread and look what just happened.''] post on X. Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref> as being detrimental to [[gay]]s and [[LGBTQIA+]] in general (which she did not deny, and even tried, late, to apologize, to no avail), plus her apparent artist refusal to draw any [[adultl]] gay [[art commission]]s (even though it was stated on her commission [[TOS]] on her website years before this incident).

Because of all this, she was also promptly labeled a [[W:Homophobe|homophobe]] online<ref>[https://twitter.com/search?q=Tsebresos%2Bhomophobe&src=typed_query&f=top Tsebresos+Homophobe] search results on X.

Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref> and led to the TTFC's new leadership{{who}}<ref>[https://ghostarchive.org/archive/O6ZKv ] post on Tails and Tornadoes Furry Convention's X account. Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref> to rescind Tsebresos's nomination immediately, causing several [[staff member]]s to resign as a result.{{clarify}}

TTFC's new leadership alsoput out a statement on August 28, 2020, on '''X''' formally distancing themselves from PeaceWolf:
{{q|In light of recent events{{clarify}} we want to emphasize that PeaceWolf is no longer with TTFC.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TTFurcon/status/1299480348724785154 ] post on Tails and Tornadoes Furry Convention's X account. Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref>}}
It all became moot due to the cancellation of TTFC 2020 caused by the [[W:COVID-19|COVID-19 pandemic]].

Since 2021, [[fursuiter]] [[Mattew]] has been TTFC's [[Convention Chair]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210418182133/https://www.tailsandtornadoes.org/about-us/our-team ''About our Organization''] page on [[Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con 2021]]'s website. Retrieved February 23, 2024.</ref>
