Now I know CYD isn't exactly the most....unbiased source for furry news, but then again what furry news source is? Anyways, posted on CYD was this article here:
http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/fro.....;tb=1&pb=1
Now, I'm all for letting a convention (read: business) pick and choose who it wants to be able to sell stuff at their convention. I just hope they're all for me choosing not to attend their convention.
I'm sorry guys, and I know this will make me a Very Unpopular Person around here, especially for some people from the Jack forums (you know who you are), but adult cub art is not child pornography. It doesn't even come remotely close. Child pornography is abusive and horrible, and it actively harms the child in it. It is bad. The harm you get from cub porn is probably close to rugburn on certain parts of one anatomy. Hell, I'll even go so far as to say that if you're one of those adult cub art lovers who happens to also be a (DUN DUN DUN) true and honest to god pedophile...I'll say as long as you don't start touching little kids in real life, and keep your stuff in your head...you're not bad in my book. Now, you start molesting and I'll gladly join in on the pitchfork party.
And quite frankly, it's not even the issue of banning that really really urks me. It's something I've seen in the furry fandom over and over again, more recently. It's this idea that "While my kink/fetish/non mainstream idea is okay, yours is not." Inflationists knocking on the bondage types who are knocking on the diaper lovers who are knocking on the therians? What the fuck people...all of these things are, in the grand scheme of things messed up and quite frankly getting nasty with one another is really kind of pointless. One really can't help what gets one aroused. For me, it's pain. For others, it's pictures of BabyfurX getting schtoinked. For even others, it's the idea of fucking a horse.
What one CAN help is ones actions. You can help yourself from touching little Johnny. You can help yourself from deciding Bessie over there would make a good girlfriend. You can get beaten safely or not at all. You can draw your pictures of cubs getting yiffed, though don't expect me to be interested.
Nor, however, will I condemn you to the Ninth Circle. Lord knows I have some fetish skeletons.
Everyone does.

Not really. Number one, ignore the Jack forum, everyone there is riding on my retarded list.
Number two, you do bring up some really good points, at the same time, Im alright with no liking something, as everyone else should be. Voicing that is a crime and should be banned and what not, yeah I see what you mean.
Like any other business they do have the right to choose, could they have been a tad bit more professional (as in timing wise), yeah. But hell people make mistakes. Not a big deal to me.
I wont be going to FC any time soon, nothing to do with this incident, its just that its really far away xD
