Official Statement Regarding the Policy Debate on Twitter
Eisfuchs:
Let's not forget that the rules that seem to offend so many have been in place for 5 years now. Nobody seemed to have an issue with them for all that time. So Eurofurence did not "decide to ban" anything for years.
And I'm pretty sure bringing a teddy bear is no problem at all.
kooriki:
"All costumes and accessories related to ageplay" - That means teddy bears, pacifiers, dungaroos, blankies are (probably?) included as well as they are a pretty common item brought to ageplay events.
Its fine that the rule has been in place for 5 years. I've never been to an EF so I never cared to look into this specific cons rules before. Now that it's gotten more popular, people are noticing this con has a stricter/more conservative set of rules. How long they have been in place doesn't matter, people still have the right to complain (or cheer) the rules.
Ghostbear:
Last page Dhary, as the head of security, pretty much defined what works and what not. And while it's not perfect and some things could maybe be discussed at a later point in time, for the moment, the rules ain't actually so bad.
Discussed later in a constructive way, after things have calmed down a bit and after people stopped pouring kerosene into a smoldering fire that just went out, but is still hot enough to light up again.
Clean badges and room signs are not a problem. Plushies have always been a big part on the con. Kigus are allowed too, as are stealthily worn diapers under normal clothing, as long as they don't smell. And I don't think anybody would hassle you over a pair of dungarees.
Honestly, I think of worse rules. And as I said, maybe some other things can be worked out later.
And yes, I'm a cub/babyfur myself. o.o'

Only *if* they are a "blatant" display of fetish wear, as specified in the paragraph above. As I said earlier, it depends heavily on context - there's just no easier way to phrase it without making it less clear that it is right now. The intention is: We don't want people dressed as adult babies running around - the same way we don't want people dressed as leather puppies or with inflatable gimpsuits in public. It's just not that kind of party. That doesn't mean you can't drop a hint at your orientation. You totally can. Just stay classy. People do it all the time.
(We especially put an exception at the bottom, btw. If you manage to do in a way that is acceptable, non-offensive or even good looking, we're totally happy with pretty much everything, regardless how it could theoretically be categorized. Take it as a challenge if you will.)

That's all I need to know.
