A gay gaming convention sounds like a fun time where you won't have to hear a lot of the stupid insipid shit people say.

I blame TV. People dont have real interactions with different types of people and form there opinions based on media stereo types. My first year of college I did so many facepalms, because for a lot of those people I was the first black person they had any real interaction with.
So much ignorance.

Given all the stories of how uncomfortable so many women were at the established cons, sounds like a less creepy alternative to the established events. Like Fyrewulf mentioned, most cons are (white)boys clubs.
Can't smell worse.

They are.
Also it's incredibly stupid how people can't understand the concept of a safe space.

I know im late but that Kendrick verse was quite neat.
Kendrick calling out new school rappers
Gucci talking about stirring up shit at 10:17 calling out rappers that think they shit
It's beef season fam
Over on the Penny Arcade forums, a bunch of women got together and organized a girls meetup near PAX at a bar of their choice.
Year after year, bunch of dudes would post in the thread threatening to crash the meetup, or complain that they couldn't go.
Why not make your own?
He's putting up 3 tapes tonight. Plus he been saying shit like he gonna sell waka flocka and shit. It's hilarious

Doesn't surprise me.
Also someone telling a minority group how they should deal with oppression blows up my irony meter every time.

Yeah, I was impressed.
That's the sad part, you pretty much can at PAX. Just think of a reason, like "texas meetup", name a place and a time, and it happens. There's your meetup.
There's like hundreds of meetups and parties (personal and corporate) at PAX. Women want a girls-only meetup? Asshole magnet.
A friend told me she wanted to run a small women-only gaming convention and said she felt she couldn't do it because she'd never be able to afford the security.

Seeing all the shit my sisters had to put up with in life makes me realize how much I love having a penis.
I have to be honest. After seeing the type of shit that goes seemingly unpunished in other social issues threads and seeing how fast homophobic posts get punished in OT, I thought that the LBGT community were that one group that were safe from ignorant posts against them on GAF, yet here we are.
I think Gaf in a way is progressive. But what alot of people forget is that the OT side of gaf isn't always like the Gaming side. Some people do take part in threads from both sides but Gaming side isn't exactly down to earth enough to realize how they come off. Especially on topics like woman in gaming(or in general) and gay rights
OT isn't an angel either tho, I personally think alot of people hold there tongue.

I was recently asked by a journalist about my experiences in the community, and industry with regards to social issues like gender, sex and race, and how discussion has evolved over time. To be honest, there was a time i'd have held GAF up as the gold standard for mostly sane discussion of such topics as a whole. Recently however, my view on that has changed a lot. Its just crazy how many posters don't have any sort of broad world experience outside of their blinkered bubbles.
That being said, its still waaaaay better than most internet message boards.

My experience with the Penny Arcade forums is strictly limited to PAX related posts and that's it. Wasn't aware it was bad there.

Man, that badu shit I said in the K.Dot thread was gold and no one saw it because it was late at night. 
I still can't let Yul Brenner go. I don't care.
I saw it bruh, had me waking up the house from dying.Man, that badu shit I said in the K.Dot thread was gold and no one say it because it was late at night.
About cons, I guess anime cons are a whole different thing, because the attendance of Otakon didn't at all meet the stereotypical criteria.
Otakon's pretty evenly split between men & women from what I could tell, or at least even enough. Black folks are also not at all uncommon there. Don't know what to tell you.

Catching L's and winning are mutually exclusive.
Gamingside has a lot of shit posters who wont post in ot for this reason.
