Oh dear.  Twitter's infrastructure appears to have gone woke at the worst possible moment.

Quote
Florida Gov. and GOP presidential nominee Ron DeSantis has successfully sucked the pleasure out of many of life’s little joys, from drag brunches to Disney adult TikTok. And thanks to the passage of SB 1438, or the Protection of Children Act, DeSantis may now be bringing the ax down on furries.

On Wednesday, the organizers behind Megaplex, an Orlando-based convention for furries — people who enjoy dressing up as or making art of anthropomorphized creatures — posted a statement on Twitter regarding its policy for admitting minors. The statement was in response to SB 1438, which makes “knowingly admitting a child to an adult live performance” a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by a year of prison and/or a $1,000 fine.

“Many have raised concerns about recent changes in Florida legislation,” the statement read. “After reviewing Florida SB 1438 it has been decided that for legal reasons and protection of our attendees, our venue, and the overall convention, Megaplex 2023 attendees must be 18 years of age at the time of registration pickup.” (Megaplex declined to comment when reached by Rolling Stone.)

Oh no, now furry men won't be able to scritch 15yr old boys!
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

I would have preferred that he just banned furries, also bronies.

I don't think he'd get a lot of pushback on that.

I think the fear is that furries in general will be considered adult, even if no sex is involved.
Like imagine if a costume party where everyone dressed as animals, was deemed sexual because everyone dressed as animals.

Yiffing on the floor definitely isn't allowed.  At least, not more than a typical dance club.

I can't see definite information about sex toys being sold there.  But the law doesn't prohibit that, only live shows.

Go back and read the post (yours) that I was replying to. You said - "I think the fear is that furries in general will be considered adult, even if no sex is involved."  We're talking about a furry convention that decided to not allow children. Which tells me they've got sex toy booths, and a bunch of pervs, and they don't want to risk going to jail for it. Which is fine to me, they are being responsible. Kids don't need to be there, they should have their own conventions.

The most ridiculous thing to me, is that Rolling Stone is portraying this as an attack on LGBTQ. The LGB spent years trying to convince people they were just like everyone else, and along comes the TQ with a well actually.

Having now added a new word to my vocabulary, that in retrospect I knew before researching I would wish I hadn’t, it, (yiffing) having come through Spacey’s almost pathological delving of the un-limitless depths of societies fringes, I would like to say this.

We as a species can and will as we slip into decline, sexualise almost anything, the outrage at this is largely born of the fear of that dissolution, and projects scenes of horror and revulsion where imagined perpetrators twist the innocence of 15yr old boys and anarchy ensues.

Having survived being a 15yr old boy, I would like to say that they are mainly a section of society that needs little protection, they spend a great deal of time hoping to be incorporated in some sexual deviancy and largely remain disappointed when the projections of the moral majority turn out to be hollow.
 
If the likes of DeSanctis get their way, they will become the arbiters of what everyone is allowed to do and think, that should worry you a lot, lot more than your imaginings of what goes down at the Kit Kat Klub.

Fair but what happened all those years prior? 
Also, as I said, as I understand it sex toys being displayed for sale are not illegal under the bill.  Which strikes me as odd, given the point of said bill.

I don't know why you keep saying sex toys aren't illegal to sell, when I never said they were. The organizers were worried they'd get in trouble with the law, so they made the con 18+. I assume they had a reason to worry, or they wouldn't have done that. Exposing kids to the more degenerate side of furrydom, which would include booths with plastic dongs, would get them in trouble. imo.

No, you seem to be misreading:
Displaying to minors.
Like if I show kids a dildo, without explaining what it is or how its used, thats legal as far as I can tell.  So that shouldn't be illegal.


But sure, they were worried.  But that doesn't mean the reason to worry wasn't "Ron DeSantis hates anything weird and we're afraid even tho we're technically not doing anything illegal."

I'm sure you think it was all going to be sweet and innocent, but I've watched you furries on the internet since around 2005 or so. I used to belong to a TrekBBS spinoff forum that was full of furries and BDSM weirdos. What's so fascinating to me, is that back then all of this was subversive and transgressive, like goth and emo used to be. They were in their late teens and early twenties.  Most people grow out of that phase, but there are always a few who can't let it go. They can't grow up. 40yr old men wearing tiger costumes and jerking off to drawings of anthropomorphized rabbits.

Quote
So what does a law about exposing kids to sexually charged content have to do with people dressing as cartoon bunnies and foxes? While SB 1438 does not specifically target minors dressing as furries, it prohibits children from attending adult performances, which it defines as “a presentation that depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, or specific sexual activities.” And, like drag, there are pervasive misconceptions that this mode of expression is inherently sexual.

The mental contortions someone has to make in order to say it is a misconception that depictions of sexual conduct, or sexual activities is inherently sexual!

And I'm gonna assume that a furry convention that allows minors isn't gonna have furry porn or tiger dicks hanging around.

Tho if you're wearing a fur suit and the fursuit has no clothes, is that simulated nudity?

Welp, there goes Shakespear.

https://www.npr.org/2023/08/08/1192767641/shakespeare-florida-excerpts-dont-say-gay

Summary:
Shakespear has too much gayness and sex in it so students can only read SOME of it aloud in class.  But apparently reading it at home is totally fine and required.  So basically: Don't talk about sex but feel free to read abou it.

Yes it is.
Nothing you wrote is contradictory.  The article clearly states that shakespear will still be taught but only Exerpts will be read aloud.

And from your source:

Quote
Hillsborough County officials said Monday they were limiting instruction in Shakespeare’s works in part because of concerns that the sexual content might come under fire as prohibited by new state law.

No it isn't. NPR has been captured by partisan hacks and weirdos. The title of the article alone should give you a clue that the article is bullshit. First of all, Florida doesn't have any "Don't Say Gay" laws. The article also leaves out the part where the teachers want more time to teach what the students will need to learn so they can pass the FAST. I seriously doubt Shakespeare was ever a big part of the curriculum to begin with.

From my source (the very first sentence) -

Quote
Plans in Hillsborough County schools to reduce the works of William Shakespeare to excerpts were met with derision by state education officials on Tuesday.

Hillsborough County decided to do this on their own. Every hacky mainstream media outlet ran with "Don't Say Gay". How many of them tried to get clarification before publishing? How many of them did any actual journalism? All the news sources we should be able to trust have turned over to the outrage model. Get 'em frothy, make them click!

How much Shakespeare did you read out loud in class when you were in school? I was in advanced classes, I don't remember ever reading Shakespeare out loud in class.
