I think most adult furs realize how much of a liability and frankly outright nuisance having kids around is. Those advocating for having kids around? They're either kids themselves or nonces.

Your forgetting about parents. Yes I know its quite unfathomable but there are actually furries who procreated. Also sometimes a kid will get groomed into the fandom and beg their parents to go to a local con.

You really don’t see minors much at cons anyways. At least in my experience.
Though I imagine its more so dependent on the con venue like BLFC (A casino) vs FC (A convention center).
An interesting note about FC that people might not know: It takes place at the same time as a large woman/girls volleyball tournament or whatever.

Fur-eh had a large group of 10-15 year olds wearing bare foam fursuit head bases the one time i went.
Also have definitely seen random parents with babies/toddlers at MFF but it's not as common.

Comicon is way worse for it, nothing lile having a lady with a double length stroller blocking the walking path, or a screeching newborn behind you. Or small kids destroying artist alley stuff thats in hands reach. Sadly though, no comicon would ban kids.

I have seen kids with two furry parents at cons, in one case the kid had their own custom fursuit. I honestly don't think the kid was in much danger with their parents at the con, but the harassment they get at school must be horrible.

The humiliation and trauma will hopefully keep them as far away from your disgusting "fandom" for life.

Well, it's just child abuse.

Questionable and misguided sure, but child abuse? No.
 
Kids are mean, they'll rip into eachother for just about anything so i suppose this is just par course.
If they want to wear their scrappy homemade suit and do kid stuff then all the more power to them, better then getting involved with vapes and drugs.
I do agree that cons aren't exactly a good place for minor members of the fandom though, too much degen shit going on even if there's clearly separated before and after dark hours, can respect it much more if the con clearly states minors aren't allowed and just owe up to the fact some pretty weird shit goes down.

Obviously a furfag like yourself wouldn't think the kid was in danger.

A kid being watched by both of their parents at a public event isn't in any more danger than they would be at an amusement park with their parents, or at church.

Good. Bullying keeps the degenerates in check.

The fandom continues to grow and keeping degenerates in check? Have you seen society? lmao

If nothing else the kid has a killer costume for Halloween.

It takes a village to raise a child. Recklessly endangering your child by bringing them into a hypersexual environment is not behavior excused by "well their guardians are with them watching them". In the case that the con strictly prohibits deviant activity to the evenings for the safety of children, such as by the common practice of limiting risqué merchandise sales to after dark. Then we still run into the very real problem that some conventions have or have had known predators on their staff. Predators they knew of during an active con with underage attendees.

Turning this into an argument about how many children attend cons is a diversionary tactic. One child is enough to be overly cautious. Mentioning churches or citing statistics about how many children are raped in schools is a diversion. No shit retard. That shit happens. When it does the community reacts, often violently. If furries reacted strongly enough the criticism would be easier to shrug off as nothing. But there are no Gary Plauché's in the furry fandom. There aren't even mass boycotts of conventions with predators on staff.

You are religious, are you sure this is the argument you want to make?

All evidence shows that isn't the case. There are literally thousands of examples of churches and their congregations covering for predators.

I really think that you have no idea what conventions are actually like in person. I said I don't think kids should be at cons, but I also don't think a kid with their parents is in real danger.

That's coz kids aren't being bullied enough.

the bullying thing is a bit of a wrong conclusion, a large problem with our society is that it's a society that doesn't facilitate bullying, but it's not the bullying itself that made it healthy, it's the oragnic nature in which bullying was possible
we have bullying now, tons of it in fact, i'd argue probably even more than ever, but it's very curated and has an unearned false sense of justice to it that organic bullying never did, kids can learn to deal with bullying that is organic and social in nature. bullying was never something 'enforced'.

much like how living in an organic environment where disease exists is good for one's immune system, it's not the random introduction of disease that's healthy, it's the fact that the environment can support it, and thus can also support beneficial growth alongside it
coming up a person who has been isolated from proper socialization and had their whole social existence sterilized and just randomly bully them, is no different than randomly introducing the common cold to a kid who lived their whole life in a sterile pod
you have to grow alongside it, it's not just one factor that can be tossed into the soup
