Anyone else excited to see how these new (toxic) anime fans who started during quarantine are gonna handle going to cons?

I've already seen antis say shit like, "I'm scared I'll accidentally buy merch from a proshipper!"

Who's gonna tell them?
Who's gonna tell them that most artists in an Artist Alley sell NSFW art of whatever is the most popular fandoms at the time (MHA, Genshin, AoT, ect.) because it sells well?

Who's gonna tell them that there are entire booths dedicated to selling Hentai, Yaoi, and Yuri?
Who's gonna tell them about the MHA cosplayers who walk each other on leashes and collars?

Who's gonna tell them about all of the PDA, Pocky Games, scantily clad cosplayers, and 18+ panels?

What about grown men carrying around Nezuko bodypillows they bought in the Dealers Hall?
I can't wait for them to go through a birth by fire when they realize anti culture is NOT the norn in public spaces.

It's gonna be so humbling for so many of them. Especially if they try to police veteran cosplayers and con goers. Like soooooo aren't ready for it.
Wait till they find out about yaoi/yuri paddles, or the NSFW bedroom shoots that go on in hotel rooms.

I'm deadass so excited to watch them go through a crisis when they realize they're put of their element. It's gonna add so many years to my lifespan.
Like can you imagine these little kids going to their first con and the first thing they see is a couple cosplaying Sebastian and Ciel, holding hands and making out? Or some burlesque take on a character like Deku and Bakugo?

Do you think they'll spontaneously combust? 🤣🤣🤣
Better yet:: Imagine their surprise when they find out the con they're going to is HOSTED by someone who's been accused of being a pedophile!!!

Like a lot of Chicago-based cons are all held by one guy who's been accused of sexual assault and pedophilia. 😬
Idk how true those accusations are, but I know people in my area dunk on you hardcore if you go to any of his cons.

Also like, imagine their surprise when they find out there are entire "Con Watch" lists at cons dedicated to documenting who real life creeps are.
Cause that IS a real thing!

When I was 17 I reported a 40+ year old man for touching me inappropriately, and the staff member I talked to told me that man was on the CWL, and he was going to be hit with a life ban. I was like 👀👀👀.
