Dear Con-goers,

Just follow the rules the convention gives you. The rules aren't there just to oppress you. Sometimes it takes one bad apple to ruin everything for everyone but believe me, there are a ton of dumbasses at conventions so there's probably a good reason some rules exist.

And no, your constitutional rights are not being violated because you can't carry a sign that says "Free Hugs!" or "Will do anything for pocky!"

Anything for pocky, eh?

Paint my house, do my laundry, and clean my residence. Then we'll talk about pocky.

I thought the link would go to an Otakon board. I guess crazy fans are everywhere.

Yeah, I was reading the ACen boards for news and there's a lot of stupid there too.

Another day, another troll claiming he did it for the lulz.

That story about the 15-year-old girl and the twentysomething, though... ick.

Yeah, a story like that makes me glad they have a "no adults without children" rules at the children's programming.

Between this and the "i dun wanna see Americans, why are they guests?" crap on the forums, I... yeah.

I'll be over in the Artist Alley, hiding.

Oh yes, that thread was full of fail too. "OMG! I dun care if it was Golden Week and that was the only weekend you could get! You're supposed to drag Japanese guests by the hair over here because that's what I want!" It was pretty funny that ACen just released tons of names of Japanese guests coming too.

I wonder if whoever started that thread knows or cares that some of the American guests read it. Nothing like going into a con feeling unwelcome.

Probably not because my boyfriend's brother is an annoying elitist and he once went into a rant about how American guests don't deserve fans. He came across as jealous but yeah...

These people do realize that the 1st Amendment pertains to Congress, right?

So glad I'm not going to ACen. ColossalCon ho!

I'm sorry, there has to be some law pertaining to a 12 year old with cat ears holding a sign that says "Will do yaoi hentai scene for pocky"

There has to be.

Yeah, I don't want to see any more pictures like this ever again. (Scroll down a bit. You'll see it.)

... You know, after a while you really think you've seen everything only to be reminded that, oh, so very not.

You win again, intranets. You win again.

I hope they make a rule like that at Anime Expo. Because those signs begging for money drove me nuts. (Especially the two that said something like "A poor Jew? This cannot be! Give me some money!" I hate it when people perpetuate stereotypes like that, and don't even make it funny.)

Haha, I thought you were talking about A-Kon. xD They instituted this rule last year and good LORD the whining wouldn't stop.

It was hella nice at the con though, without jackasses pleading for money or underdressed catgirls asking for spankings.
