I recently looked into the subject with RMFC and a furry raid led by his "definitely not political" Foxler. While the RMFC was still alive, it did not forbid them to be at its congress, even understanding the meaning of their behavior and form, and what terrible consequences this could lead to. Six years later, the DenFur completely forbids the presence of a person who has not even spread his ideas on this convention. Is this your proper American free speech? In my opinion, the furry community is free for all nationalities, LGBT+ creatures and all political views to be found in it. In the furry community, there should be no harassment of people for their views (of course, if these are really views that do not interfere with communication, and not open propaganda of their ideas right at furry congresses) and therefore this situation directly shows that from the methods used in Russia, American furries (or the country as a whole) do not differ much, except for tolerance towards LGBT+ people.
