[bq] apparently after the con they had Q&A and anons wanted the furrys out and they said no, they said furries can like ponies too, then someone yelled"they could leave their fursuits at home and still come" and they ignored that point.[/bq]
Yes, that DID happen at the Mare Fair 2 “sneedback panel” (I was actually there for that).
And I agree with them. There ARE a lot of furries in the fandom, furries make up a disproportionately large proportion of the people who attend brony conventions, spend a disproportionately large amount of the money at cons, sell merchandise that people actually buy, and there were even some furries on staff. Mare Fair may have been born on /mlp/, but its organizers don’t intend to isolate themselves to /mlp/. They’re not letting paranoia about furries “infiltrating” the event hinder its growth and development.

And so far their approach has been working. The event is still relentlessly centered on pony, and the only non-horse related event on the schedule was the “roast the furry” panel (and the ‘Wheel of Funishment,’ but that was just watching a gay socialist humiliate himself for an hour and a half and it was hilarious).
