Expanding on this for a minute because hey being anonymous means I can because anywhere else it's against the rules to complain about attendees in case it hurts feelings.

On one hand, thank all of you for being so good about not getting in the planting areas outside the RCC from what I saw but I did see some idiots leaning over the fencing and then acting annoyed when staffers told them off for doing it. No joke, if you had gone over the fence we were told to snatch you badges right then and there, no questions asked so we were doing you a favor telling you off.

Also I know people wanna have a good time and have fun and some staff/volunteers will powertrip but usually if staff tell you not to do something or to quit doing something, it's for a reason. I saw two little teen brats sitting on the ledges by the escalator and kept slipping down from them and then hopping back up and one of them then hopped up onto the escalator handrail to try and ride it down. I told them off and apparently one of them gave me the finger behind my back. I could've snatched their badges instead of warning them to stop because I told them they could lose their badges if they did it again. Don't be a dick if staff gets on your case, especially to that level. It's easier to just nod and then go to another area than try and piss us off because you're annoyed at being called out unless you're seriously not doing anything wrong.

And if you see any shit kids being little shits, grab a staffer. Or if you're being harassed anywhere in the con since I know on FB there were reports of that but no one alerted staff or security to it all weekend. If a volunteer is powetripping or doing something they're not supposed to, get staff.

Just get staff instead of complaining about it later please.

Yeah, it must be the "exoticness" of it.

I'm sorry it got that bad, that's awful.

Luckily because my relatives just don't "get it," they see me as a weirdo. This is surprisingly a good thing because they've already written me off and I can get away with pretty much anything. They just chalk it up to me being weird. I'm the low man on the family totem pole, but I stopped caring that much at some point. I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not. Haha, and it's not the JUST anime/manga stuff that secures my low position... I don't date a ton of guys, I don't drink, and I don't wear tons of makeup. Seriously. It's "not normal" so I get pushed to the side. I have alcoholic and drug-addicted cousins that get more respect. hahahahahah this family…….
