Milo is at it again...

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.

I just found out what a furry is..saw a young guy at the grocery store with a furry tail, I thought I had seen everything..came home and researched "why do people wear furry tails"..

Milo is only a scammer.

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

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!
