No female sex offenders or would be sex offenders attend anime cons. They are much too busy teaching high school students.Sennorin said:

Why did I click on that... ugh...I thought it was going to be funny.Dresden said:
All this does is contribute to the stereotype that anyone over the age of 18 who attends one of these public events is some kind of kiddy-fiddlin' creeper, like most "protect the children from Stranger Danger" measures. This type of abuse is not epidemic at these events, or you would've heard about it way sooner -- and "stranger danger" is incredibly exaggerated by the media compared to far more common situations of child abuse. Blocking ten people from entering the doors of a multi-thousands event means nothing at all. What an embarrassment.

Honestly, Anime Cons are basically Nerd Mardi Gras. It's just a huge party where a lot of people go wild. I don't think baring entery to proven sex offenders is a bad thing.
Of course, then you go to the dealers room and see all the creepy moe/loli erotica and near erotica brazenly on display...

Now I just clicked and found something from gaf! http://animesos.tumblr.com/post/7089745290Keru_Shiri said:
Unknown Soldier getting called out!
Good thing I've never been to con. Damn man, there's alot of suppressed desires in one place, with characters the majority wish they could fuck? Hell no I'm not staying there; that's a fucking criminal action waiting to happen, even if they have some restraint.
On the other hand, I would like to meet people with the same tastes, since most of my friends have only watched Dragon Ball Z (they don't know Dragon ball), Cardcaptures, and Pokemon. Yeah, gotta expand that web.

I wish I knew girls put out at these things when I was younger.

wtf are you talking about? this is fucking hilarious

Well, its probably been one of the laws with some of the most insane ups and downs. You have kids in high school getting it for some girl sending nude photos of herself around. At the same time, people who should have been arrested years ago. It doesn't even factor in the "Think of the children!" acts, such as internet censors and forcing ISPs to record history warrant-less.Tenks said:
I think conventions in general need a bit of an overhaul. Many parents clearly treat it as getting rid of their kids for the weekend. Throw a bunch of 11-15 year old alone and let them run a muck.
At the same time, you do get a bunch of creepy older folks(Not that being old there is bad either), but just people there for different reasons.

I dunno, whenever there is threads about cosplay and I click the links maybe 1 out of 100 chicks are actually good looking. I don't see the appeal.

I don't think I can see an anime girl avatar and take the poster seriously again.
Crows are nothing but flying rats.

Okay, I'll admit that's pretty damn funny.notworksafe said:
Yeah, I kinda stopped after the "took a 15 yr. old home from the rave" thing, thinking it was going to be more of that as opposed to #whitewhine-esque bitching about Vocaloids and shit. Reading further, I'm relieved to see it seems to be more of the latter.perfectnight said:

Because there are very few female sex offenders. Animecon demographics attract pedophiles, many of whom watch pathetic anime that panders to rather disturbing fantasies.

Hah, why not. It's probably half-warranted. As an anime fan, I'd understand why someone would want to know if I diddle kids, sure.

Random fact: the vast majority of anime fans aren't sex offenders.
Also: the vast majority of sex offenders aren't anime fans.
I'd stake my life that more pedos fill the seats Yankee stadium at any given time than stalk the booths of an anime convention.

What's funny is the entirely unrelated thing that post is about. I'm okay with it, Colony Drop is apparently operated by mid-40's, lonely single otakus who sit in momma's basement and complain about how anime has sucked since 1990. To be called out by that kind of loser is a badge of honor quite frankly.

No way in hell I'd let my daughter dress like a slut and go to one of those things. Not even her obesity can protect her from desperation of this magnitude.
Makes sense. I've attended Otakon the last couple years and the amount of unsupervised teens in skimpy clothing would seem to be a creepers dream. And when security is so lax at these things, a few extra precautions wouldn't hurt.
Following that train of thought, I wish I was better at identifying age by sight. I'd like to be able to talk to the busty female Loki without wondering if I'm gonna catch a charge the whole time. lol

Filth like lolicon didn't come from anime ... sure ...
If you'd kept your statement as 'sex offenders' you probably wouldn't have to kill yourself. However there is undoubtly more pedophiles in anime than baseball ... why else would there be an entire genre devoted to it.

Also the stuff that came up when I search for "loli baseball" is probably going to get me arrested. :\
