Furries Boycott Aggiecon After Forced Removal of Suit Heads in MSC

In an unprecedented move, the furry community at Texas A&M has boycotted the beloved convention Aggiecon that occurred this past weekend. Sources that wish to remain anonymous have shared that the boycott was in protest to the decision to host the convention in the Memorial Student Center, as they would have been required to remove their large, brightly colored fursuit heads in order to gain entry. 

“This is a travesty!”  said Rory McFluff, dressed as his giant bright green fox fursona. “This is one of the few events on campus that I can comfortably attend as my true self. If I have to take my head off, it totally ruins the fun!”

Other members of the Aggie furry community had concerns of a different nature, fearing that they would be subject to ridicule or worse if their fuzzy hobby was revealed to friends or family.

“Many people like us aren’t in a position to go public with our fursonas,” says the leader of a group of five white-furred and oddly familiar individuals. “Maybe some people could get away with it, but we have a unique connection to the Aggie Spirit. We would be obligated to reveal our identities upon entering the MSC.” 

Some people praise the decision, like Aggiecon organizer Amy Webster, who sees the furry community as disruptive in a number of ways.

“Honestly, I’m glad they aren’t coming anymore. The only ‘furry’ that I acknowledge is Queen Reveille. Everyone else is a poser.”

The furry community is searching for a backup location to host their own gathering at a later date. The prime candidate is the Quad, as many of the furries live close by.
