Panel Update
So there was apparently a panel on the schedule entitled "Homoerotic Subtext" with a description that's been causing quite the stir:

Homoerotic Subtext - From Supernatural to Sherlock, Harry Potter to Teen Wolf, every fandom has it! Destiel, Johnlock, Drarry, and Sterek. You have a fandom, we can find you one, you're very own gay pairing! The discussion of how each fandom undoubtedly has some homoerotic subtext, and how much we cannot get enough of it.

I'm certain my fellow wankas can see why this might cause some people to get upset.

But there's been some posts by bisexual-books, apparently one of the panelists going into detail about how the panelists (all queer) talked about

[ ... ] speaking out about the good, the bad, and the ugly of subtext, shipping, fanworks, bi/ace/pan invisibility, the lack of trans characters, the green bean bullshit that is queerbaiting, the lack of POC, the political responsibilities when straight people write m/m, the pervasive sexism in fandom/media, the lack of femslash, the lack of good female characters to ship, and where to find actual representation.

So there's at least some good to come out of this.
