This is all so tiring. I went all three years and watching the CoC gradually change to include more restrictions towards specific idealogies and politics while others are ignored extremely infuriates me. I'm not an idiot, I understand optics and hiding away power level so as to not create issue with the hotel or outside attendees and guests of the venue from being disturbed by what's brought by congoers. However, this incessant and frankly retarded tiptoeing around the issue of pride regalia and fursuiters while bending the knee more and more by banning Aryanne outright is where I'm losing confidence in the con's ability to thrive. This move will not help the convention. It will not stop you from being the next Rainfurrest. You're not going to convince people on Bluesky or Twitter anything by doing this. This is performative and nothing more to appease hopefully whichever venue takes your sorry asses after this. I would prefer everything be banned and be done with it, but this cherrypicking and digging the hole deeper does nothing but put band-aids on the wound. Most people that go want to see a little bit of culture from the board while celebrating the show. I'm not there for furries, the LGBT brigade, or even the Aryanne and Marenheit side of it despite I'm supportive of them.
>Wearing a non-pony fursuit is strongly discouraged as it detracts from this pony focus
Fuck off, change it to BANNED. Unless it's written into the CoC for next year as well that the former two are also banned alongside whatever constitutes a "hateful idealogy," I want nothing to do with this normie con.
