This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

Yeah...unless it was a hot chick with a "Free Sex" sign, I'd be onboard with that. :up:


umm, if ANYONE holds a "free sex" sign, there's some horrible drawback like, ugliness, or STDs, or a shemale, or some horrible thing i don't want to even dare mention.

I knew this was going to happened eventually. I was just trying to look out for others that act like there characters too much and don't want them to get into trouble. And have a serious post. Request lock before it gets out of hand.

alright alright. poo poo head

I understand the threat of sexual harrassment, but is there a possibility of any of the other signs? like "Will sing for Pocky" or possibly make a "Rub elbows" sign instead of the hug? it just seems odd that the woman has to initate the hug, because it still makes it possible for there to be sexual harrassment.

Yeah, whatever happened to the Sphere of Reality Bending that hangs over conventions, anyway?

Oh wait -- that's Steve Jobs' thing.

Other signs like pocky, and stuff like that are fine.

A sign I wore was an anti-glomp sign, in hopes of insulting the people who actually wore "glomp me" signs. Those were my intentions anyway. It read, "Don't Even Touch Me!", but I think only two people actually got the joke. Everyone else looked at me like I was some anti-social wuss, or just poked me. :? And the stupid thing was only one person actually wore a "glomp me" sign (this was at the last Anime Iowa, by the way). Maybe next year I'll wear a sign that makes more sense, or start going to more cons where people will get the joke.

Yeah... if anyone ever, EVER grabbed my ass, whether it be at a con or somewhere else, I would call security, call the police, and file certain legal actions. That's so not even close to being funny. Never. It is sexual harassment. I hope that the girl did more than just bitch you out.

Who's wearing the signs? The guys or the girls? If it's the girls, then clearly wearing a "glomp me" sign is initiation (or at least invitation). If the guys are wearing the sign....then that's just silly. I mean grabbing asses is one thing, but I can't see anything wrong with people wearing hugging or glomping signs (either sex).

Another thing is if you are playing a perveted character as Gene or Miruko (spelling) you aren't suppost to be acting perveted by touching other female rear ends.


Can you act perverted by making corny pick up lines? :P
