What's funny is TFF isn't requiring the vaccine either but haven't seen outrage over that. However they are enforcing the mask bullshit but like FC from what a friend told me, no one is gonna wear them. I'm sure they're the same people who type the garbage out you posted to virtue signal for something that doesn't protect you.
These are furries, not American’s.
haha
God, if you’re so uncomfortable by it don’t go! No one is grabbing you by the scruff and forcing you to go to a fucking convention!
Fur the More put out an official statement on Twitter regarding keeping attendees safe and not tolerating bigotry; it doesn't mention Crusader by name, but when you consider he was the only person who gained any notable traction online during the convention, it's nevertheless fairly clear FtM staff were aware of the situation.

Bonus: this angry quote-tweet by some random furry (who was apparently overly mad the FtM Twitter wouldn't explicitly name-drop Crusader) and getting told to STFU by the official Twitter:

Every disability is different blah blah, but where is the line between "I am so disabled I can't go to any public space where someone MIGHT not have a fucking mask on" and "I am not disabled enough to NOT be able to wear a 40lb suit that takes forever to get in and out of, that you need to fully undress out of to use the washroom, that is 40 degrees on the inside and a 4lb head that impedes my vision, including total loss of peripheral vision, walking around for hours." This is even ignoring the fact that some people are going to be doing murrsuit shit which is all that + physical activity
Yeah they act like immunocompromised never existed pre-covid but we really know they don't give a shit about those that are unless it's a convince to use them as a weapon against others. Going to a furcon is a much bigger risk with all the flith that goes on. As other have said, it's a very simple solution: Don't go.
No it is just an American thing. No Euro cons required masks or vaccination proof last year, let alone this year.
Here in Canada the only places requiring masks are some doctor offices that decided, "fuck it sick people actively come to us let's make this a indefinite thing" and the only people wilfully wearing them inside are a few people in service industry who realized they don't need to put on a fake smile if they got a nice looking cloth mask with a smiling mouth or something on it so they can hiding their muttering about asshole customers more easily. Oh, and then the trolls who realized there's still militant anti-maskers who make public idiots of themselves if they see a mask.
The difference with TFF versus FWA is that TFF's policy was in place before people booked hotels and flights. FWA's policy change comes two months before their event, and the ability to change plans is limited for some folks.
It's so much worse. These are twitter users, terminally online retards who need to move beyond 2020.
I keep saying it: I'm pretty sure at this point they're just trying to quietly select out everyone right of Mao.
Without powerleveling too hard, I went to about 10 different large events last year, including a concert, two (non-furry) conventions at a hotel, and a furry-adjacent event. With the exception of the furry event, not a single event made me put on a mask or provide any proof of vaccination.
That's exactly my thing. They're making sure they can exclude all those who might think different.
