"VancouFur's organisers have not publicly mentioned what connection they as individuals have with the animal habitats and species they propose to celebrate"
An explosive non-issue in the making, folks!
They'll be watching like hawks to make sure all animal depictions are appropriate. Oops, accidentally stereotyped a hawk! Sorry, i meant avian-canadian.
LOL, not comparing other cultures to animals, just Furries... but isnt it a wee tiny bit absurd to raise issues like racism and stereotyping on a petty pictorial-semiotic level, lacking any context of intent to offend or exclude? Wrong font, oh nooooo!
For such infractions against arbitrarily defined taste, what is the standard of appropriateness? Who are the cultural leaders who decide it? Well, it seems like the standard here is that absolutely nobody in the world can be offended or even be able to distinguish any meaning from it, besides bland nonoffensive ubiquity. Use Helvetica. (What font did they choose, anyways, and why is it better?)
And forget about learning, celebrating, being introduced to, if you arent already a biologically born member... that would be cultural appropriation.
