 Noted cosplayer and glowing potato Jay Maynard (better known as Tron Guy) has decided he's taking his kilobuck and leaving. Make PenguiCon Great Again I'd seen him at the con in years past but never met him. This year he was spotted wearing a 'write-in your pronouns' badge that said "My Pronouns Are not a political statement" and generally complaining that people cared too much about asking permission before feeling someone up and being relevant. An example of the signs he was complaining about :  I've never quite understood why someone would complain about leftist politics in Science Fiction unless they had never actually read any, but there you go.

shovelbum posted:Don't the gender Tumblr crowd gently caress all day or why would they care about orientation and identity so much Well... that depends. Asexuals don't do much loving, as a general rule, although some enjoy sex but it never occurs to them to initiate. Part of the discussion of intersectionality is that the choice to NOT gently caress is just as valid as the choice TO gently caress. The rest, though? Probably yeah. Especially the 25+ crowd. I'm not sure I've ever been to a poly/kink/queer con where I was interested in having sex with interesting and willing and attractive partners and failed to do so. When you are in a consent-based culture and have a feeling of safety and security and knowledge that you will be respected whether you say yes or no? It makes saying yes a LOT easier for both men and women. The ultimate irony of MRA's and RedPill types: people who truly embrace and internalize feminism are having more and better sex than they are.

Pierson posted:Current nerd poo poo is just incredibly bloodless when it comes to sex. I mean, I guess that's true unless you realize that Jacqueline Carey and Shibari (anime cons usually have at least one panel) and fanfic is all 'nerd poo poo' Hodgepodge posted:There's this series you should check out, you probably haven't heard of it... Can't tell if we're talking about the same thing.
