Jake Lang crashed a cat-themed event in Seattle, Washington, and immediately began flipping tables. The far-right provocateur said organizers were exposing children to inappropriate content and called it a grooming operation. He even suggested those involved should be arrested.
Lang is seen in the footage at the entrance of the Sea-Meow Convention in Washington, walking around the entrance area and confronting staff, attendees, and people dressed in elaborate cat costumes. A large inflatable cat decoration and convention tables are visible behind him as he moves through the space, speaking loudly into his camera.
Lang repeatedly claims the event is pushing sexual content on children. “You guys are indoctrinating the youth with homosexual transsexual ideas,” he says, before adding, “This bird stuff is not for children.” He also points toward attendees and argues that the gathering is an attempt to sexualize young people.
His accusations become more explicit as he continues. Lang describes the costumes as “soft porn” and calls the event “pornography” and “fetishism.” At one point, he compares the convention to content found by searching for “furry” on Pornhub and tells people at the event, “You guys need to be arrested.”
The exchange also sees Lang yelling homophobic slurs at those around. Staff in pink MEOW shirts and members of the con are seen close by as the argument plays out, with some people recording him.
Internet Reacts to Jake Lang Accusing Washington Cat Convention of Grooming Children
Viewers were especially unimpressed with Lang’s decision to confront people at the event. One commenter wrote, “You unbearably stupid *expletive.* It was a CAT convention. Local rescues brought kittens, and you showed up to what? Scare the *expletive* out of little kids for clicks?”
Another accused him of putting on a performance, saying, “You didn’t bust anything up. You showed up at the entrance and did some stuff and were removed from the property. You don’t have the balls to actually put yourself in harm’s way. Everything you do is a performance.”
Someone else pointed out the presence of children, writing, “Screaming inappropriate *expletive* infront of kids at a cat adoption event for clicks from facebook boomers is a bad look lol.”
A fourth commenter suggested Lang was desperate for attention: “Bro is rapidly losing relevance and is doing -anything- he can to keep his relevance in a world that is about to forget him.” Another wrote, “It’s sad that you were probably straight up sober when you decided to go after a cat convention, and pretend you found a bunch of Furries.”
One viewer summed up their frustration with, “You’re so foolish that it hurts. It’s a cat convention.”
Despite Lang’s accusations, Sea-Meow is a genuine cat convention that works with local rescues and shelters to bring adoptable kittens to attendees, giving visitors a chance to meet and adopt cats.
