Headwear related to other communities such as pup play masks and motorcycle helmets are not permitted given that these communities already have their own contingent. Let’s be respectful and not steal their thunder! 🫶
However, if your outfit still involves your fursuit head / furry mask, you are good to go! The point is to represent the furry community! 🐾
