I posted a rant about this very subject in my LJ after FC this year. I saw a guy in the parade wearing a fox mask that covered his eyes and a "tail" that consisted of a red piece of fabric. In previous parades there was Jack Sparrow, The Evil Queen, and Beetleguise. I have also seen a person wearing a cardboard box on his head which had whiskers drawn on it. My question was "What part of FURSUIT parade don't you understand?!?" Of course I'm biased on the subject because I AM a fursuiter. To me that means a full suit or a partial that included everything except the body suit. I'm also cool with something like full body paint and/or spandex simply because of the work involved.

I argued that it would be like if I went to an artist panel (like an artist jam) where people were expecting to see good art being drawn and I went up and drew a stick figure. Why would I do something like that?
