That's the problem, isn't it? Without nailed-down definitions and limits to what will be prosecuted, everything ends up being "hate speech" to someone who "feels attacked" by it, and thus a legitimate matter for complaint.
You then get things like people being thrown out of conventions for objectionable fursuit patterns, or five-figure security bills over a Twitter spat. A triumph of protectionism over common sense.
I honestly doubt furry conventions are going to become a recruiting ground for white supremacists anytime soon, not least because furries clearly already believe in the superiority of the Lupine race.
