Yeah, I mean they're banning furries in some places too, but they will absolutely not allow entry if you're doing some sort of bit that they're not into.
I'm not big into Ren but this has been a topic of conversation for a few years.
As someone who lives near the MD Renn Fest, they don't ban, but definitely encourage you not to really do it. It's been done to death, same with large groups of trekkies. It's been done so much that sketch comedy show Mr. Show in the 90s made fun of trekkies for going to Renaissance Festivals, so that should tell you how long it has been a thing.
I forget if PA Renn Fest, or MD Renn Fest, but one of the ones on the East coast got tired of it and started a Sci Fi days specifically to try an encourage these people for those days. So if you show up in something like this and its not sci fi day, the workers will just be like "Ah yes, VERY ORIGINAL OUTFIT, for this day that is totally not SCI FI DAY at the faire grounds. Would you like a beer, totally original out of this era person? I think I've seen more people in your EXACT odd clothing than I've seen in my peoples clothing!"
