To be fair, this is not really the only furry convention that looked to be more family oriented. I recall when I attended Fur'the More 2016 that they were kind of looking to do similar. There was even a 'kid track' of some description.
The fact of the matter is that young ones are exposed to adult items more quickly these days, so parents do have to be more vigilant about being the first one to expose them to such things so that their kids are more knowledgeable.
We tend to laugh at the concept that furry should be expected to bridge that gap. But remember what Sonic said about touching in a way you don't like. Apparently, given what we've seen lately is that as those that watched that segment have grown up, more and more of them are saying "That's no good."
What we're seeing is a conflict between those more on the asexual end of the sexual drive spectrum versus that that are more "omnisexual". Both don't want to be sensored or feel excluded for who they are, but with one focusing entirely on sex and the other wanting to have nothing to do with it, there will inevitably be conflict/compromise in the spaces.
Furry has been dealing with this sense the beginning.
