       EMF says everyone should feel comfortable attending. That depends on trust in organisers’ judgement.EMF's Villages organiser says a group they’re part of can “bypass the CFP”, jokes about having a “vested interest”, then jokes about someone accused of serious animal abuse.On top of everything else - I don't know what to think or how to feel about this.Context (CW animal abuse): https://dogpatch.press/2025/10/23/uk-furry-zoosadist/Public chat; unrelated names and avatars redacted.

       I’ve also learned that someone who abused me - and has been accused of rape - is now helping organise EMF.I reported this to #emfcamp Conduct and offered evidence. Their response: “your experience with your ex is not relevant.”With a village organiser also stepping down amid allegations of abuse and harassment, something feels deeply wrong.

       I’d moved on. I didn’t want to think about what they did to me again.I found a new partner whom I love to bits, who brought me into their family and helped me see value in myself again.“Irrelevant. Now work around your abuser. You figure out how. By the way, we're taking away everything you built."That’s what EMF’s response feels like.
