Megaplex, which is scheduled for Sept. 15-17 in Orlando, caters to the subculture of furries, or people interested in anthropomorphized animals.
The subculture has been linked to a sexual kink for people-like animal characters by mainstream media but for most furries, their attraction to the community was not sexual, according to a survey of furriesStill, there are some members of the community who are aroused by aspects of the fandom and furry conventions often have events catered to those members which are held later at night to avoid conflicts with the family-friendly offerings.
“Megaplex has welcomed younger fandom members and their families since its inception and making this change was very difficult,” the organizers said in a statement.see also“The fact that the furry organizers felt pressured to bar children from the convention is yet another example of how it’s been seen as an attack on LGBTQ rights,” EJ Dickson said of the legislation.
“Right now anything that isn’t very straight-laced, in Florida, is starting to be called out as deviant,” co-founder of Moms of Furries Carrie told her. “Obviously furries are an easy mark for that.” “I don’t want to end up in a confrontation, or worse, jail or dead, for just going to the bathroom in Florida,” he told Rolling Stone.
