The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The personal things should be left out of, in my opinion, out of platforms and conventions.
I really do the conventions now for two reasons.
I have friends who are majorly into the cosplay culture and have urged me to go to a convention for no other reason than to meet others like me.
This isn't really a convention, This is really an infomercial. And every night we'll have a different infomercial and people view it with a certain level of cynicism.
Conventions are unstated agreements within a community to abide by a single way of doing things - not because there is any inherent advantage to the choice, but because there is an advantage to everyone making the same choice.
I like conventions. I like meeting and greeting. I'm perched on that edge where I'm getting more attention than I quite know what to do with, though.
I've been doing these conventions for 20 years, and we used to at least have debates about issues. Nothing is happening basically at this convention, other than speeches.
I like that conventions want me to appear and festivals want me to come speak because they like the climate I attract. It's a good feeling.
I'm a sworn enemy of convention. I despise the conventional in anything, even the arts.
All conventions are very enjoyable. The more variety you do, the better.
