    You really don’t know Moldova, or easter Europe then. Most people don’t even know about furries and their first reaction is not going to be positive. People are cautious about new and strange things and ultimately get scared of them. They look at this as preserving what is normal to them. I’m sorry, most of the world is conservative, not progressive.

      No one cares? Unless you behave extremely weird at worst people assume that you are advertising something or that’s some kind of attraction with costumed people for kids. Do people really go around in costumes every day and not on conventions and festivals?

        Yes no one cares, but then a big company announces they will not serve people in animal costumes. Then people go - makes sense, it’s weird anyway. I’ve never seen a person in animal costume in person, not even as a mascot or on a kid’s birthday. It’s just not a thing here. And I’m from Serbia, it’s provably even rarer in Moldova. I would find it weird if someone explicitly said they will deny them service. It’s like denying service to dinosaurs, it’s odd. It is a good cheap marketing though.
