MFF Prohibits ‘Tactical’ Gear In Response To ICE Presence, Attendee Feedback

(Photo by Coastal Kangaroo, via Furtrack.)Midwest FurFest 2025 kicks off this week, and many furs are understandably concerned about the presence of federal immigration agents so close to the convention. The notorious Broadview Detention Center is just over seven and a half miles from the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, that MFF has called home since 2019.
MFF has been in the town of Rosemont, IL, for a decade and a half, which is a straight shot north from Broadview, IL. Anti-immigrant operations in the Chicago metro area are still ongoing, and the Chicago Tribune has written a great summary on what’s been happening these last few months regarding actions taken.
MFF’s PR director Kuna declined to share if the convention has a plan to respond to the possible presence of federal immigration officers in the area. The likelihood of that happening is low, though.

Eurofurs Do Not Support AI
Hello, everyone.
Recently, we made a post about Furry Film Festival 2025. It has come to our attention that AI entries are tolerated at said festival, and the organiser refused to clarify whether attendants would be informed of their presence before buying a ticket, even after repeated questions.
We do not think this is fair to potential attendants. Because we at @Eurofurs do not support AI-generated content, we have chosen to pull the post.
Editor’s Note I agree with them, I do not support AI

The Review Part VI: The Editors Should Probably Strike Back
“Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son.“
– Mr. Plinkett“Zootopia is definitely better than one of the most despised movies of the last decade!“
–some guySince we only had five reviews of the first Zootopia movie, you think not much else could be said about it, but, actually, it’s been almost a decade, and Disney movies collect bad faith readings like Flayrah collects Zootopia reviews, and I’d like to address a few of those.
First, starting small, there’s the “what do the predators eat?” thing which for some reason you still see bandied about like that’s a clever observation, despite the movie’s climax hinging the main predator character carrying a snack with him. Turns out, they eat food. Moving on, people like to complain about “copaganda”, but, honestly, even if you accept all cops are bad, they have jobs that put them in dramatic situations regularly, so people are going to tell stories about them. That, and I’ve recently seen complaints that the Godfather parody glorifies criminals, so tie goes to the movie. The big one is the assertion that the main metaphor equates specific races (usually African American or black) with predatory species, when the metaphor is about minorities in general, and the movie does not specifically code most characters racially (though you could possibly argue the lead characters are pretty white-coded). An ironically bad faith defense here is that, when Disney racially codes an animal character, it’s very noticeable, though they’ve mostly cut that out (mostly). Which brings me to the final complaint against Zootopia, which is that it is a Disney movie, and to that, all I can say is, well, nobody’s perfect.
Zootopia 2 is the sequel to Zootopia, which makes sense. (The movies are also known as Zootropolis in certain regions, which makes less sense.)
