An insight into the girls at conventions world.

For the love of...

Some background for those blissfully unaware.

Some group of jackasses decided that women should feel 'comfortable enough with their bodies' to have their tits touched. Sexually liberated and all! I mean, I've been obviously brainwashed by The Man to value my personal space and body to the point of NOT wanting creepy con guys to touch me.

So, they created the Open Source Boob Project (gag, gag, I know.) Basically, they wander up to women and ask if they can touch their boobs. They even created badges. There's a whole giant BS philosophy that goes behind this, but it boils down to them wanting permission to grope strangers at conventions.

I think you can tell how I feel about this.

(Side note: I never thought these assholes needed permission, seems to me they try and do it anyway!)

My first thought about this, as a response to these creepy motherfuckers if they ever approached me was to say 'sure, if you let me kick you in the balls first!'

Well, someone got around to writing that up.

What's really making me go WTF is the amount of people in the comments of that post who don't understand why random groping is a violation. Hell, even the question implies disrespect. 'You're so beautiful, can I fondle your tits?' That's a little scary.

I'm carrying mace with me at US conventions like forever now.

Edit: On thinking about this a little more, the implication that women go to gaming/comic/anime conventions for the attention of some Pauly Shore looking motherfucker and his band of pretentious lecherous saddos is really pissing me off. We can't go to a con just to enjoy the content, can we? It's all about the other half.
