My introduction to the new rule was the jockstrap wolfman in the MD group. No mask? Viking. With mask? ENTRY DENIED.

the search being "what happened with jockstrap wolfman" is frying me

My assumption was that fursuits were causing too many heatstrokes, I wonder if that’s true

but... why would someone ware a fur suit in 90°F?! MD Ren Faire is in the peak if summer! That's just asking for heat stroke!

As someone who has never been to a ren faire, I’m realizing my idea of what happens at ren faires is not very accurate. It sounds like there’s a lot more crossover with comic cons than I’d have thought.

Garuntee it’s a heatstroke issue. Maryland in the spring and summer can either be 60 and lovely, or 100 and humid as hell.

in Brazil there's a saying: if there's a rule, there's a story.

I mean, having worked at faires where things like stripey socks and certain decorative plants at booths were banned, I can also say that sometimes rules are there because the little Kings that run some kingdoms love skiing in the *snow* ❄️and wielding whatever power they can, but yes, generally rule are there because they have to be.

it should be a law that when a random rule like that is posted there should be a link or somewhere a place where the average person can go... to get all the tea. Because it drives me crazy everytime I see a rule like this and Im like "that has a story behind it." and I NEEEEED to know.

As someone who works in public events and theater, this is a factual statement. We’re not gonna create a rule that we have to spend stupid amounts of time enforcing without a good reason!

As a furry and a former convention runner (who was also in the social media position), my first thought was did somebody wear their yiff suit?

Side note, I could also be a health and safety thing. Those suits get HOT. And if enough passed out from the heat or something that could also be a factor

Heatstroke! Heatstroke! Md renfest is in AUGUST! We get 100 degrees plus sometimes all the way into September and 90 degrees in October. My birthday is 9/19. It can be hot as hell or fucking cold. Choose wisely

my immediate assumption was way too many heatstrokes, not anything inappropriate lmao

I was a Ren Faire music director for 8 years. You're absolutely correct. Most Ren Faires are super chill and it takes forever to get to the point that faire would ban something. But if there's a ban... something absolutely had to happen to get to that point.

So true!!!! This is my first year working street cast for the TN Ren Fest, and we get complaints all the time about it being a dry festival.

I wonder if heatstroke was an issue, so for people’s own safety they had to ban it.

Ya know I live in Maryland. I’ve gone to Rennfest so many times for decades now. I’ve literally never seen a fursuit at rennfest. Like I’m not saying that no one wore one but I am convinced this boils down to a singular incident and not a widespread issue.
