nerd cons are pretty much the equivalent of a continous multiple-day sexual assault anyway

geeks are literally the opposite of cool

i have been felt up and/or sexually harassed at every single nerd gathering i have ever been to

including when i was twelve by some ragna (i think? costume kinda sucked) cosplayer

it's why i stopped going to Magic tournaments, i got fucking sick of it.

this one, which is the only convention nearby enough for me to attend

my fists are ready

[up]i did once but that was just for one of said magic tournaments

it's next to me on the desk. I won't deny I'm tempted but con security would probably just take it away

@ Spazz: Scizors work well, they stab good like a pocket knife, but are deniable in there purpose as a weapon.

Because I've always wanted to go to a convention to see what it's like. Besides being filled with unwashed fedora-wearers, anyway, and because pretty much nobody in the entire city even knows what an anime is. I've actually had to explain the concept to people. You know those annoying Facebook memes making fun of the "normies" that are exaggeratedly sheltered from anything even vaguely anime or video game related? It's that. It's literally that, only it's real and I actually have to explain to people what anime and video games are in 20-goddamn-16.

I have actually heard the sentence "hey [name removed], you like those weird cartoon things, right?" uttered out of someone's actual mouth

like how the fuck do you not know what that is, this isn't the nineties

So I'm going and maybe there will be a whole six people there.

[up]None of my friends are interested in going, for the reasons listed in the above paragraph.

you have to explain to people what videogames are, in the age of the internet. what kinda fucking rock do the people in your state live under?

i've been tempted to go to a con they do locally sometimes, but mostly just to laugh at the wastes of flesh that hang around there

but seriously, spaz, do try to grab some sort of weapon, lest some smelly guy that looks like sailor bubba grabs you and decides to do horrible things to your privates

Bible belt, yo.

I bring my DS to work for street passes now, and do you know how many passes I've gotten?

None. Not a single one of them. The lobby is filled to the brim with rich 12-18 year olds every day fucking around on their Macbooks and leeching our wifi, and not a one of them even owns a DS.

[up]don't want to risk getting barred by security, but i can hit pretty hard if need be

i'm the angry punchy one remember

Ahhhh, I thought it was just that game.

@ Ideas: If you never went any where for fear of sexual harrasment, you would not be able to go any where at all.

The fucking cat calls never end for instance. :/

When it comes to the state of humanity, I tend to alternate between 'hide in a bunker and grow your own food' and 'SEEK BLOOD'

if you look up the vita on snopes you will see that anyone actually buying a vita is an urban myth, try again

@Ideas: i spent fifty bucks on the pass, like hell i'm backing out now
