CanFURence attempted to enforce a COVID mandate, but the the Canadian government officially stopped using COVID cards well over a year ago (as of this writing).

Do you think the people running the convention would take the hint and realize they can't reliably enforce mandates for an August 2024 event? Lol. Lmao, even. Of course they didn't. Better mask up, bitches.

How do you breath with a mask under a fursuit head, and how are they going to find out if you don't have one, other than checking if you still have a pulse.

I remember seeing cons require this during the end of COVID and it always made me LOL. People were virtue signaling on youtube showing themself with a mask on while getting in fursuit acting like it was just so natural and not a big deal at all, I’m surprised more of them didn’t stroke out.

For peak virtue signalling you got to get one of those back mounted giant filtering units meant for hazmat suits and splice it into your fursuit.

Curiously, there's still a convention here in the USA that's still being holdouts with requiring masks AND vaccinations called Eufuria, taking place next month in Albany, NY. It's an even more bizarre decision to make since this is a brand new fledgling convention that was born of a furmeet in prior years, and new cons tend to live or die on getting that much-needed attendance starting out.

Take note of that revision date: LITERALLY TODAY and they are STILL not budging. That makes Anthro New England look rational in comparison.

Why did they write "this policy is able to be changed up to the day of the convention and will be announced through social media channels and registrant emails if necessary" -- one of the weirdest phrasings I think I've ever seen -- instead of something literate like "this policy is subject to change, and we'll keep you informed if any changes are made"?

The first version isn't even a proper sentence, but that first part is just so bizarre. "This policy is able to be changed"? Neat! What else is it able to do? What else can it be?

I don't know why exactly this bugs me as much as the policy itself, but maybe it's because it's an indication of a barely-literate person trying to sound smarter. Brevity is the soul of wit and all that (says the bovine who just wrote three paragraphs complaining about one sentence :story: ).

If I had to guess, the phrasing seems like a sneaky attempt to sidestep any legal issues. They're essentially saying, "We can change our policies whenever we feel like it. By showing up or giving us money, you agree that we can make significant changes at any time (up until the day of the convention). If you have a problem with this, tough luck—you already agreed, no refunds."

I personally find that extremely scummy. If you're a furry lurking on this thread and you decide to go to Eufuria despite knowing this policy exists, you're a dumb motherfucker and you deserve to lose your money.

Meanwhile these Branch Covidians are entirely okay with AIDS-infected pedophiles deliberately spreading AIDS.

Ever seen any of these dogfucker conventions demand people wear condoms at their gay sex orgies with children?

The funny thing is their phrasing is likely less bulletproof in terms of legal protection. That's why it's pretty standard to just say "subject to change without notice."

The way they've phrased it, someone can argue (possibly successfully) they weren't adequately notified of a last-minute change that materially impacted their ability to attend an event they paid for because the "notifications" went out over social media after, say, the person was already on their flight on their way to the event.

It's not a slam-dunk case, but it's certainly a reasonable argument. If they change the proof requirements to be more strict, and a person who departed for the event having packed what was -- at the time of departure -- enough to satisfy the requirement, and then were told that's no longer adequate when they arrived, it's potentially fraudulent. What's the attendee supposed to do, frantically run to the nearest CVS and pray they have a dose of whatever the furfags are demanding?

Without a simple "subject to change without notice," they've opened themselves up to claims if someone gets huffy enough about it.

When the policies were still widespread, smarter cons would lock in their policies months ahead of time. The only changes would be a relaxing of the policy. It allowed for planning of all parties, convention, attendee, dealer.

It's arguably not even a contract at all, because they have effectively claimed that in return for your money, they promise nothing and can just renege on it at will. So there's no consideration.

Considering they dictate the type of masks being the most constrictive any suiter actually following it will likely have issues quickly.

fully vaxxed and boosted wearing constrictive masks inside heavy furred suits in the middle of summer
are we SURE this is a legitimate convention, and not someone trying to purge some furries?
keep an eye on the news coming from this con, i think we're gonna be seeing quite a lot of cases of 'death by Suddenly'
 
Furries group up and jizz on pizzas in hallways. But the convention attendees sperg out about not wearing a mask because it's a health risk.- Colonel Walter E Kurtz.

These are the same people who wear constrictive dirty diapers and take extasy in their fursuits in the middle of summer.
Furries are indestructible. They're way more likely to die of dog-AIDS than heatstroke. It'll take more than a few flimsy masks to purge them.

To chime in for my 2 cents, I think it's their attempt at PR talk, (I rly don't know how else you can describe this.) so they write in the most robotic serious-sounding way possible.

Almost all 'ikipedia tards do that shit all the time on talkpages and with only 1% of the population being autistic, I don't think that's it.
