At some point in the hopefully not-so-distant future, what is at present a meme will become an adage. The question is not why children should attend drag shows; it is why drag queens want to perform for children. The same could be said of Furries.
The Furrie (furry) world is marketed as folks who like to dress up in elaborate animal costumes and do stuff everyone else does. What it is is a fringe sexual fetish thing, and while not everyone who gets involved may necessarily be meeting to add contacts to their little furry black books (or share a litter box), more than a few have to be predators using Fursonas to break the ice with kids.
They will, after all, do anything to gain access to their prey which is the problem we’ve always had with allowing men pretending to be women into women’s safe spaces.
Due to recent efforts to normalize this and similar antics, states like Florida passed laws to prohibit children from exposure to adult performances. A law that has forced a rules change at an upcoming “furry convention” in Orlando.
Many have raised concerns about recent changes in Florida legislation. After reviewing Florida SB 1438 it has been decided that for legal reasons and protection of our attendees, our venue, and the overall convention, Megaplex 2023 attendees must be 18 years of age at the time of registration pickup.
Megaplex has welcomed younger fandom members and their families since its inception and making this change was very difficult. The Code of Conduct has been updated to reflect this change and emails are going out to those affected.
While this change impacts the 2023 convention, it is unsure if this will have to continue for future years. It is our hope that this change is temporary and that we can welcome members of all ages back next year. With this in mind, the public decorum portion of the Code of Conduct as well as standards for programming, attire, and behavior in convention space will not be changing and will continue to be enforced as has been in the past.
The Florida Furries have to make do with the changes, which brings me back to the opening. The question is not why children would attend a furry convention with life-sized animal “friends.” It is why adult furries need access to children.
Remember, this is not just cosplay. Furries can have demands just like any other sexual splinter group. Lots of red flags, not the least of which is the corporate media running cover. That’s always suspicious. Oh, and the fact the convention has banned anyone under eighteen.
And there are other conventions in places that do not have the Protection of Children Act. There are any number of liberal-run destinations where the goal is the opposite. Putting children in psycho-sexual situations for which they are neither mentally nor physically prepared is a priority. Another red flag, but when they run the State’s so-called child protection agency, you can’t expect them to step up and intervene in cases of child risk for sexual abuse because some Dems made it legal or would like that – with or without the elaborate animal persona.
Minor-attracted persons are pedophiles. Predators dressing up as cute animals should be no less offensive than if they were dressed as Santa Clause, a Guidance Counselor, a garish caricature of a woman, or a Parish Priest.
And someone at Megaplex is concerned enough about the content to prohibit kids from attending.
Another red flag.
