I know everyone's been wondering "ari, how did the panel go???"

Well sadly I must inform that it went... FREAKING AMAZING?!

Despite our panel starting at the same time as the artist alley on a Saturday, we watched as not one, not two, not three, but about 15 people or so entered the room. To hear us talk about kids in anime!

Despite my fear that the slideshow wouldn't last very long, it somehow ended up taking 53 minutes! The goal was an hour, so I think we did pretty good!

Eventually I will post a copy of the presentation online. Sadly recording three panel was prohibited.

And this week I met not one, but two maps. And another said they attended the panel, and its possible I might meet them today! For a total of meeting 3 maps??? It's honestly so cool to be able to talk about this stuff, and gawk over the kids wearing cosplay haha.

Also at the end of the panel we had a dozen or so people left, two of which stayed to the very end of our hour to play some loli hangman. One of them had a deep discussion with us about how he liked to write about loli and shota, but was fearful that the stigma against it would get him crap. But after some recent animation that featured kids, he felt brave enough to do it, and hasn't got any hate so far!

All in all, it's been a very great weekend! Still got one day of the con left (today) and then after that there's like this rave thing??? Which sounds super dope, and then it's back home to my boring life sigh.

But hey, I'll see y'all possibly in June??? And if not, then next year!

If you cheat on a kid is it still adultery

...ya think the stark age segregation contributes to kids being hypersexualized? like, i feel all the effort taken to keep kids sheltered from sexuality has done nothing but add another layer of tabboo that's getting kinked all to heck

"you attract what you are"

acts childish

sunpossum, 4 months ago to random

kids are wonderful and amazing people. i'm leery of anyone who dislikes them

this isn't just the pedophilia talking either. like, genuinely, i can't fathom how someone can dislike kids, outside of some moral failing. like, anxious around kids and not wanting to feel anxious, i get that. like, you don't want to hurt a kid on accident, or you don't want to upset parents, yeah, alright, work on you, you already know you're the issue. but folks who are just no-holds-barred 'i hate kids, ew, get them away from me', yeah, we can't be friends, and i'm not wasting my energy on that. admitting that may be crummy of me, but, like, we all have biases, and that's one of mine

It's funny that the real child adult relationships with power dynamics, child/parent and student/teacher are seen as okay, but when we want relationships as equals were accused as having a power dynamic that's bad.

I find it funny when I'm accused of being a predator. I've had SO MANY opportunities to prey on kids in my life and never have I ever done it. Why would I start now?

I love tabletop role playing games but I hate the community around it. There are hundreds of games out there but all anyone cares about is d&d and it pisses me the fuck off. It's so weird because the only other community like for a type of game is tcgs and magic. Sure there's Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh and whatnot but it's majority magic and every goddamn one of them are magic fascists who think it's the best game objectively and that games like Pokémon are childish and aren't as deep as magic on any level.
