Florida Furry Convention Goes 18+ Due To Law About Exposing Children

Hmm, seems like others have learned that it’s not a good idea to expose children to adult performances. Of course, we haven’t really heard about furries grooming kids, though, there have been some cases where young wackos think they’re animals

(Fox News) An upcoming “furry” convention in Florida will restrict its attendees to adults over 18 in response to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ law prohibiting children from attending “adult live entertainment.”

Megaplex, an Orlando-based convention dedicated to “people who enjoy dressing up as or making art of anthropomorphized creatures,” originally released a statement regarding their decision on Wednesday.

“Many have raised concerns about recent changes in Florida legislation. After reviewing Florida SB 1438 it has been decided that for legal reasons and protection of our attendees, our venue, and the overall convention, Megaplex 2023 attendees must be 18 years of age at the time of registration pickup,” the statement read.

The Protection of Children Act (SB 1438) specifically prohibits a person from “knowingly admitting a child to an adult live performance.” An adult live performance is defined as “any show, exhibition, or other presentation in front of a live audience which, in whole or in part, depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities.”

Or, they could do away with stuff that is meant for adults. Obviously, they’re getting ahead of this. Would law enforcement actually take action?

The Rolling Stone blasted the news from Megaplex, attacking DeSantis for “sucking the pleasure” out of “joys” like the furry convention.

“Florida Gov. and GOP presidential nominee Ron DeSantis has successfully sucked the pleasure out of many of life’s little joys, from drag brunches to Disney adult TikTok. And thanks to the passage of SB 1438, or the Protection of Children Act, DeSantis may now be bringing the ax down on furries,” senior writer E.J. Dickson wrote.

Yes, nothing more joyful than exposing children to adult acts that depict or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities, right? Of course, Rolling Stone, which went all in on the gender confused fad, is not worried about furries, but, the gender wackos.

“Many furries are marginalized in some way: In addition to many identifying as LGBTQ, a sizeable percentage of furries are also neurodivergent. As a result, they tend to view the community as a safe haven of sorts. Over the past few years, children have increasingly been gravitating toward the fandom for this reason, as Rolling Stone has previously reported,” she wrote.

Dickson continued, “The rise of furry influencers on platforms like TikTok has led to the fandom becoming increasingly popular among young people, with the Pittsburgh-based conference Anthrocon reporting that 16 percent of its attendees in 2019 were under the age of 19.”

Perhaps we shouldn’t be going along with children suffering mental illness and acting out in this manner. Instead, we should be seeking proper mental health therapy. Being a furry, though, is certainly less damaging than pretending to be the opposite sex and taking all those drugs and cutting off genitals and breasts and such.

Children is where we all MUST draw the line. Target lost $10+ billion. Next up: Kohl’s.https://t.co/DNs3PdWJxi

Why must these wackos push this on children, especially ones too young to know?
