Bad PR for Scotiacon this weekend, with a gentle regional newspaper article unexpectedly blowing up into a national broadsheet calling it an "event that caters for people with a sexual interest in animals". I doubt legacy media has ever printed the phrase "cub porn" so often.

This part of the article caught my eye:
But the code of conduct for next weekend’s convention – which is only open to over-18s – spells out that “sexualised or fetish behaviour” will not be tolerated within public spaces, “unless it is part of a closed-door event that is specifically catered for this.”

If that's true, props to Scotiacon for at least attempting to curb some of the more degenerate shit people are wearing in public spaces. From what I've seen, most conventions semi-ban obvious kink gear (like pup hoods, latex, diaper stuff, etc) by saying you can only wear it in public areas of the hotel during the late hours. Outright banning it entirely seems like the right move.

Before any lurking furries scream "Pinball, don't kink shame!!!": shut your goddam mouth. Nobody would care if furries were only wearing this stuff at room parties. But that's not happening; every time I have to look up convention posts for research, I'm blasted with so much obvious kink shit happening directly in the hotel lobby, outside the hotel, in the hallways, etc. Any furries denying this are either in complete denial, or they're so addicted to gooning they can't figure out this shit is not socially acceptable in any context.

I'd like to see how tollerant they are if someone shows up dressed as a "Scottish Leprechaun"? I know there's no such thing, but crossing Scottish and Irish heritage is another, not to mention the Furry Fandom is made up of more imaginary characters than all the World's Kindergarten students could think up.

Dressing up as Willie from The Simpsons as a localized version of Bomb Voyage.
You could also dress up as Oor Willie but you don't want to know what that bucket's for.

It couldn't be worse than what buckets are used for in the Homestuck fandom.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment with a delectable bottle of paint thinner I keep in the shed out back.

Furries have been incredibly butthurt on Telegraph’s X post/A to the point of adding a community note to the article. :story:

Furries hate it when the truth be told about their fandom's degeneracy. I particularly laughed at the threatening to sue the tabloid comment. Should the Convention even get the idea of filing a lawsuit, there's enough factual evidence to back up everything the tabloid article said right here at the Farms.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a mainstream news article that exposed the truth and didn’t provide a mindless, knee-jerk story about furries being wonderful, creative, fun people. It’s good to see the truth get out once again, and it’s good to see an article that in telling the truth about these perverts and their fandom, got furry’s panties in a twist over the negative press.

Here’s to the pendulum continuing to swing and return to the good old days of furry‘s flinching, crying, and running away every time they see anyone from the press showing up at one of their conventions.

It may be for the wrong reason (i.e. a rare moment in mainstream press history where they get more right than wrong) but it's always nice to see a new group of people learn that they should always hate and never trust the press.
 
Scotiacon continues to excite us, with more positive press coming from the BBC. BBC Scotland is headquartered directly opposite the convention hotel so it’s conveniently placed for them to cover.

The BBC said:
Fennick Firefox, a man dressed as a large furry orange fox with blue hair and a tail tipped by a flame, says that in his normal life he is very shy person.

Proud Scottish furry Fennick Firefox / Kyle Prêle, formerly Ann Louise Prêle, has some photography online for you to look at. Note the top surgery and remember these are photographs of a “very shy person”.

The convention does host events such as "writing furry erotica" but Mr Smith insists that… fetishism is "not part of the furry identity".

Very audacious from Scotiacon co-director Jeremy Smith / Jez Smith / Ceil Fox / Ceiliguliminix. How strange that Jez, normally so generous with his time and expertise, seems not to have introduced BBC reporters to his vast collection of inflatables.

I always hate how furs try to downplay the fetish aspect of the fandom. Mainly because you can easily see as plain as day that plenty of furs will freely share and post content of their kinks on sites like X/Twitter and BlueSky. You're not fooling anyone trying to say kinks aren't "part of the furry identity."

So, DeSantis got the "Protection of Children" bill (SB 143) passed into Florida State Law.

"The bill prohibits a person from knowingly admitting a child to an adult live performance. In broad, general terms, an adult live performance is a presentation that depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, or specific sexual activities. A person who violates this prohibition commits a first degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by imprisonment that does not exceed 1 year and a fine that does not exceed $1,000.

If a licensed public lodging or public food service establishment or any premises that has a beverage license knowingly admits a child to an adult live performance, the establishment or premises is subject to having that license suspended or revoked and being fined. The fine for a first violation is $5,000, and the fine for a second or subsequent violation is $10,000.

A governmental entity, as defined in the bill, may not issue a permit or authorize a person to conduct an adult live performance who will knowingly admit a child. If a child is admitted, the individual who was issued the permit or other authorization commits a first degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by imprisonment that does not exceed 1 year and a fine that does not exceed $1,000."

In essence, if a person knowingly allows a child to attend an adult live performance that person will suffer a first degree misdemeanor and pay up to a $1,000 fine. If a licensed public lodging knowingly admits a child to such a performance, they are subject to having licenses suspended and pay a $5,000 fine for a first violation and $10,000 for subsequent violations.

The organizers of this event know that traditionally both adults and children will be present and the adults can and will get up to adult-rated things. And while the actions of the guests should not reasonably be considered a "live performance" the bill does nothing to say what constitutes "sufficient cause" for determining an infringement has happened. I can quite easily see the suit parades and similar events at the convention being used to argue that any action undertaken in a suit is a "live performance". The organizers are afraid that they will receive fines, misdemeanors, and possible revocations of licenses on the grounds of admitting a child to an adult live performance based on the actions of the attendees to the convention.

Fucking finally. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: they really shouldn't allow anyone under 18 at these events in the first place. Banning them doesn't solve every problem with furry cons, but it does automatically solve a few big ones.

It seems like the perfect time to bring back the 2023 Fox News interview featuring Vitai Slade, the now-former owner of the furry auction website The Dealer's Den. During the interview, he figuratively hung himself live on air while attempting to justify why children should be allowed at these events. This was originally discussed right here in the Furry General thread, but I’m embedding the video directly because I never get tired of watching it.

Fuckin' lol ... dude could barely keep a straight face, I love it. And the furry idiot completely missed a couple good jabs from the interviewer too. What's surprising is how softball the interview actually was, and he still flubbed it. He could easily have compared it to clowning (as in "dressing up in clown makeup and goofing off") and made better headway than this absurd performance.

It continues to astound me how these people just can't bring themselves to say publicly "no, kids don't belong at these conventions, and the people who try to make things sexual are the exceptions, not the rule, and we don't endorse what they're doing." Even if they don't mean it, it'd get rid of a fair bit of heat and spotlight. But if they can't do it, WTF are they doing talking to the press in the first place?
