Being a "Furry" myself, (I enjoy good pin-up artwork,) I know damn well this is just the latest stunt by Milo to scam money from people.
There are right-wing, and far-right Furrys, one I know of is a "born again" Christian, creationist and right wing nutcase.
But I have no doubt Milo is going to be banned from the convention he plans to disrupt.
Milo Adopts Fursona, But Furries Say No Thanks
Right-wing persona non grata Milo Yiannopoulos announced that he has adopted a fursona as a snow leopard and that he purchased tickets to a furry convention; in response, conference attendees demand Yiannopoulos be banned and event organizers are investigating their options.

That's all he ever was, and all he ever will be.

(3,321 posts)I've got some friends on the MFF com, and I was chatting with them at the FCLR just hours before all of this dropped. MFF's response was timely, measured, and awesome.
I know that MFF was drawn 100% unwillingly into this skirmish on the culture war, but but removing Milo from the event, they've given some of the best attention to the fandom in a long while!
