So apparently the last time I got my son a commission of his fursona, this thread freaked out and lost their shit. Well, I just had a second son and here is the SECOND Marci commission. I still find it comical that anyone wanted to legitimately called CPS on account of the fact that I was taking my son to a furry con, a place that, and I'm quoting my 5 year old nephew: is ".. better then Disneyland!"
I just found this thread today. And it appears people have made wildly inaccurate assumptions about my intentions. So, over a year later, I'd like to set the record straight:
"it's another when you see a child at a furry convention, brought with the intention of him being identified AS a babyfur"
I call my son a "real babyfur" in jest. Obviously I want him to be out of diapers before the age of 3. But giving him a Marci badge is hilarious to me. And it's cute. Ya'll need Jesus if you look at an animal-baby with a diaper on and you immediately assuming that the purpose is purely pedophilic. IT'S CUTE. GET OVER IT.
"but toddlers genuinely have no business being at a furry convention period"
Watching this video of my son playing with Telephone and tell me that toddlers have no business being at a furry con:

Come on, this is the most innocent, cute, awesome thing that has ever happened. Pure cute meets pure cute and everyone is having a good time. THIS IS WHAT MAGIC IS MADE OUT OF. Just because a few perverted scumbags try to destroy the furry fandom by wearing their kink wear in public doesn't mean I can't have an enjoyable time out with my family at a place which is, .. again quoting my 5 year old nephew ".. better then Disneyland".
And it IS better then Disneyland. Less lines, more cute critters, cheaper prices, and less alligator attacks too!
"I don't understand how someone who was genetically successful enough to have a child, a clean-looking and healthy one at that, can also be so oblivious and stupid as to think that taking said child to a babyfur gathering is anything other than a call to the cops that hasn't yet been made"
The first furry I ever met at FurAffinity forums was Shade Koba, a "littlefur".. apparently that means he identifies as a 3-5 year old. At FC 2010 he invited me to a babyfur room party. It was hilarious. Buncha full grown furries in diapers and dresses watching cartoons with balloons and shit everywhere. It was funny.
Over the years I've befriended over a hundred babyfurs. They aren't all pedophiles, in fact all of the pedophiles I've ever known (Spark Dalmatian and Danruk the Kangaroo) didn't appear to have any connections with the babyfur community. I pride myself in the fact I get along with a variety of folks from various different backgrounds.
The hilariousness of seeing the faces of the babyfurs at a REAL baby showing up would be priceless. Though, I understand the average furry assumes that all babyfurs are pedophiles who rape babies. I know enough babyfurs to know that they're a LOT more down to earth then people take them for. Though, mind you, I'd never leave my son alone with ANY male EVER. I don't trust any men with my children, men have no maternal instinct obviously.
"His son's conbage was drawn by Marci McAdam, an artist who is known for only one thing in the fandom"
BINGO. I chose the best possible person for drawing babies to draw my baby. Ya'll never have met Marci, she's a super nice person. The unnecessary sexualization of this commission is ridiculous.
"I doubt this is a troon thing considering he seems to have a negative stance on trans folks"
I haven't the slightest clue where this rumor originated. I have absolutely no problem with transgendered folks.
"Probably just because it's easier to get porn of a female character being taken to town if it's your character"
I've had the same fursona for 10 years. I identify as it. Really it's as simple as that. There is porn of it because my favorite fetish is TGTF. It's perfectly healthy. I'm not swinging a fursona around with the purpose of getting my dick wet. It's my fursona. I don't see the problem with this.
"Even the parents who keep a close watch on them... the heck are you hoping to accomplish, here?"
Same thing everyone else is trying to accomplish: Fun. We had fun, he had fun, and everyone has a ton of great memories to go with it!
"You're annoying all the attendees "
Only if he was crying and he was an angel that whole con. Everyone loved him.
"Furry convention? DON'T BRING THE KIDS!!"
We've brought Damian to BLFC 2017, Califur 2017, PAW 2017, FC 2018, Vancoufur 2018, TFF 2018, and BLFC 2018. We intend to bring him and Perry to a bunch more cons because THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I don't understand this "helicopter parent" mindset where it's my responsibility to protect him from seeing any and all things that don't seem Judeo-Christian enough.
"tl;dr don't bring kids into fetish groups thinking it's ok. "
Babyfur isn't a fetish group. It's people who chose a baby fursona. Yes, they have their weirdos and pedobears obviously, but it's possible to be a babyfur and not being into BABYRAPE, just like it's possible to be a furry without being into ANIMALRAPE.
I'll answer any questions anyone has because I know for a fact that my name has been a punching bag in forums in the past. My agenda here is to simply show my side of the story.
Hopefully by the end of it you'll see that any type of drama that I start is intentional only.
