"I PERSONALLY felt more comfortable at this adults-only con" does not mean minor furs shouldn't be allowed a space to be themselves and take in the great things this fandom has to offer
Megaplex is happy to announce that hotel has informed us that the Grotto pool will be open for the convention! And we've been assured no mosasaurs will be in the pool (at least until after the con)
Honestly, sometimes you just gotta scroll by things and not engage. Not everyone will agree on things and you can't make them agree on things.
Mute things if you're getting fired up over a specific topic coming up. Protect your own energy and mental health.
Saw the kid’s friend tweeting about finding all this out online & it breaks my heart. Couldnt even imagine finding out my friend was groomed online & all the adults in the space are arguing over banning the minors instead of pedos. We gotta do better for them.
Waiting for the day the entire fandom realizes the “18+ cons ONLY” discussion doesn’t fix anything, and cons already have a layout that allows everyone to coexist at a con… it’s people who break rules that cause these problems, we have after hours 18+ already for a reason.
Yes and no. There's an argument to be made for this at the big furry conventions and the ones that are more "party oriented", I guess.
However, a con like Anthrocon, with its status and uniqueness within the furry fandom should be exempt to this and open to everyone. 1/2
@Mr_Natel It's so unfortunate how these days you're not allowed to make a single moderately sized mistake without people insisting on permanently cancelling you. Doesn't have to mean 0 consequences, but people eventually move on from far worse mistakes than this
