As I said, you started with DK. How are you surprised I didn't read further, and am unfriendly?
My point centered on consent, and someone sent me a dismissive opening on a long message. What's to be done? Discard it.
Edit ZERO concerns are worth discussing if the consent of participants can't be achieved.
Yeah and in the same sentence I apologized for being excessively glib. Come on. How would you have preferred I say this, "Hey you really painfully clearly don't know what you're talking about, here's why you're wrong"?. While that's obviously a sarcastic extreme we both know that any other approach I took that contradicted what you were saying would have lead to the same hyperdefensive redoubling of your positions that you're doing right now. You're even still obsessing about saying 'consent is important', when it's got nothing to do with the discussion at hand here. I'm sure glad you know the word, but what does it mean? Genuinely, sincerely, explain your point to me. Because right now it appears to be "Conventions shouldn't have adult panels if they're unwilling to police the age of the participants to ensure their panelists are comfortable" and yeah, no shit sherlock. That's why we don't have very many adult panels. Wanna know what the challenges to ensuring consent / comfort are? Read my earlier post where I elaborated on the topic and apologized for initially dismissing your comment.
Jesus fucking christ, while ignorance isn't shameful, choosing to stay ignorant because of your ego sure fucking is.
Apologizing after the fact can't erase y response, unless you'd prefer I go back and edit.
My dude I don't know shit other than consent is king. Does that admission appease you? The performers are uncomfortable and I care nothing about any real world limitations of the panel tour circuit. If they can't do it right don't do it at all. Volunteers or negative guest interactions are meaningless
Enjoy your win, you're clearly so learned on the topic, leave me alone
Uh... yeah, actually, it does. Being able to admit ignorance or fault, even begrudgingly, is an often insurmountable obstacle in any human interaction.
I'm not doing this to win an argument or something similar. I'm doing this to explain a topic that's important to me, to someone that can negatively impact said topic by jumping to conclusions. Conclusions which, to anyone not familiar with the topic, would appear totally reasonable. Even though in this case we're even in agreement, knowing the complexities of a topic is important to growth and understanding as an individual.
Holy shit
