More Confederate Flag Bullshit
My brain is not together enough tonight to engage in a coherent discussion with the person elsewhere who is implying that maybe a convention should be ok with someone marching in a parade wearing a Confederate-flag themed fursuit, accompanied by someone carrying said flag.
But in general, I'm getting pretty tired of this crap. Total permissiveness is not ok. I wouldn't be ok with someone in a blackface-esque fursuit modeled on a minstrel show character either. Not everyone will agree on where to draw the line, but there must be a line somewhere, and I'm ok with where they drew it. I haven't heard confirmation that MFF actually prohibited this person from marching in the fursuit parade, but if they did, then thank you Midwest FurFest! Thank you for this decision!
