Devils Advocate: This is a young con with a very young furs presence. This is also a shared space with outsiders looking in. With as prudish as the south can be, the con is most likely being very protective and cautious. Was there bondage stuff? Staff should address that as well.

A friend of mine got audio of folks in pup gear actually breaking the gate lock to the pool, but nobody had any issues with them even though pup gear is usually seen as very kinky. There was yiff comics in the sfw part of the dealers den with multiple booths dedicated to it.
-
I try not to rely heavily on pup gear as an argument because I don't believe that petplay/ponyplay is innately sexual either. If nude male suits are fine but nude female suits aren't, that's fundamentally sexist.
-
Wait they allow male murrsuits with their dicks hanging?
-
Like, if they were letting murrsuits with giant dicks walk around then yeah there would be a problem but most normal suits that are naked don't have erotic body parts.
-
Your argument that large breasts without nipples is the same as a male murrsuit with visible penis is disingenuous at best. It's so hyperbolic as to actively damage your argument.
-
I mean it can be taken as sexual.

Sounds like female body shaming bullshit to me. I’m proud to suit with my clearly female character.pic.twitter.com/LGzHZczI1P

2c, Did you ever consider maybe a non fur parent in attendance complained, and they only took action when or if the suit became a complaint? Also, many non fur folks seeing things were in attendance. Just remember not all folks are LGBT friendly. My mom isnt. Keep an open mind.
-
That's definitely the reason. A mother complained on behalf of her kid. So though I didn't violate any rules and they only had one complaint, ACFI decided that I was the problem.
-
If someone complained, that means you were the problem. Your suit is hyper-sexualized a con that advertises itself as child friendly. A shirt isn’t an uncommon fursuit accessory. You could have added one and continued to suit at your leisure.

Part of the con rules you agreed to address this very situationpic.twitter.com/9Mqcmm0V6Z

I sort of agree, but do breasts *have* to be purely sexual all the time? It’s a natural part of the biological female body, if the character is female and has large breasts just like a human female might, why is it such an issue?
-
The first time they told me the suit was unacceptable, I immediately complied. I was upset. They contacted me about it and after a long discussion, they allowed the suit again. The second time I was suiting it was with their explicit permission. And then they do it again.

How the hell is that even fair?! They let people run around with bondage gear but a suit that isn't showing anything isn't allowed? I thought
@FurryInvasion was supposed to be inclusive, not shaming female suits for being "inappropriate". How dare you. -
I didn't see bondage gear, though their 'clean' dealers den had far more suggestive content than my suit. I don't know. I just know ACFI made me feel terrible and handled this abominably. Not that they ever check their social media.
