Who goes to these?

I have never been to an event like this but a few retro events have some people that code BASIC on their TRS-80 Color Computer 2 and nothing else. Aside from hot pockets and snorting cheeto dust.

I get it, I just truly meant, what type of idiot goes to fan conventions?

It's easy to laugh at this, but the truth is these fan conventions or geek game tournaments tend to attract young men that lack basis social skills for reasons that aren't entirely their fault. Some might be on the autism spectrum, or grew up in an environment without conservative male role models.

I used to go to things like this and bad ideas like transgenderism spread like a virus because they didn't know any better and were striving for some kind of social acceptance.

It was just sad to see because once you got past whatever weird social awkwardness, a lot of these guys were just desperate to make friends. And maybe they were coders that didn't go out into pu lic often, or had a mental disorder and were living in their single moms basement.

That sounds like most fan conventions.

Follow the 621 rule...6 hours of sleep, 2 meals, and 1 shower per day.

amazing, they have to tell people to do this?

Yes.

I wish this were not true, but I have been to fan conventions and some of the people are truly disconnected from polite society, and I don't mean like niggers are.

The solution is to bring Fabreeze and spray it on the shower-phobic. Publicly humiliate the stinky kids and they will change their ways.
