Really feels like the goal of all of this is to make con organizers deal with ever increasing legal impediments to the point where cons either have to ban minors or just shut down entirely.

As for me, knowing all of this info I might have to add Texas to my “do not travel” list 😞

I’ve been warning people about these anti-drag laws for a few years now. It started with FL but until now all of these laws had been blocked as unconstitutional. This is the biggest circuit that has ruled anti-drag laws as legal, and it sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of the country (CTD)…

Even if you’re cis, this can affect you too.

Want to cosplay Joe from Sk8 and use one of those male-presenting silicone torsos so you can have rock-hard abs? Doesn’t matter if you’re AMAB, SB 12 could apply to you too. (CTD)

Material must be “in some sense, erotic”: that could mean a lot of things, especially considering Texas also passed SB 20: www.cbr.com/anime-censor... (CTD)

I’ve highlighted the particularly problematic and vague language in SB 12 here.

“Sexual gesticulations”: is doing the Pokedance on stage a “sexual gesticulation”? Most of you reading this would say no, but miss Karen living in Southlake might think that that is the dance of the devil.(CTD)…
