That's furry convention low.
Wait just one minute...there are conventions...for furries, what is wrong with this world? (Also to those wondering what a furry is...look it up, because anyone on here who actually knows probably doesn't want to explain it...just be careful of what you click.)
Please don't tell me this is news to you.
There are dozens in the USA alone every year.
Also I can explain a "furry" in PG-13 terms: A "furry" is a person who enjoy artwork and literature pertaining to anthropomorphic (humanlike) animals. Frequently these people have an online avatar ("fursona") that they feel represents who they are. Sometimes they even own a fursuit of that character. Usually "furry" is an adult community riddled with NSFW artwork and literature pertaining to various carnal interests and fetishes.
There you go.
Also, yours truly belongs to the fandom. So, I'm allowed to make furry jokes for the same reason Asians can make Asian jokes and black people can say those "black people be all _____ but white people be all like _____" jokes.
It wasn't exactly news that was...I don't know how to put this but it didn't exactly feel like something that would be unbelievable but it just seems like that should really be a more private matter (where as I will not go into my preferences) but the news of dozens around the USA every year is some pretty surprising news, you think there would be less considering the topic.
