Flik ([info]argylespy) wrote in [info]fandom_wank,
Ah, okay, my bad reading comprehension!

But yeah, actually it's also not the first time I've seen this kinda bait and switch deal where the panel title and description were really skeevy, but the panel itself was really well-done and inclusive. Though with the one I actually attended, I got the feeling that it was a matter of the panelist who was supposed to be running it being unable to attend and her co-panelist (who apparently was originally only supposed to be helping out) ending up running it at the last minute.

I'm honestly really not sure what the case was here, whether the DashCon people planned the panel/wrote the description themselves and found someone to run it after the fact (which, everything I'm reading about the organization, I wouldn't put it past them); or if the panelists intended to attract the kind of people who would genuinely want to go to a panel with that description and try to educate them.
