It's not about whether we want or don't want sponsors; my point is we can't have sponsors, period. I've heard all these arguments, and they're good arguments, but they're untested arguments because we won't test them.
And you go right to "you're a prude", automatically. I'm not calling you a dirty pervert; I am perhaps implying furry has an unexamined porn addiction problem, though. I mean, you are getting very defensive about this; "liking dirty stuff" and "refusing to even consider the possibility of a furry convention that doesn't have any" are two different things. When you add in my point that we can't seem to create a lasting clean art archive site, and ... well, it's not flattering.
And as far as having a safe place to have where you can be you that may not be "socially acceptable", well, it's 2017. You don't have to be at a furry convention to be a furry, whatever that means for you personally.
