Ugh, I come across ‘Dave Peviani’ (and I know who he’s based on) fans in a fandom I’m part of. Some of them are so sure he’s innocent that it’s pathetic, and they go rabidly attack anyone that doesn’t agree with them.
I’ve experienced a lot of it myself, yes. But the level of, “I’m a complete dickhead moron, and Ima gonna get up and yell about it at a public event like this.” that happens now – not so much. Living proof I’m old I guess. Was a time when this kinda shiat would have had the crowd closing in on you with, “Ok you can STFU and leave, or you can get your ass kicked by 12 pixies, 4 Master Chiefs, 2 centaurs, and some dude cosplaying a Khornate Chaos Marine a little too well. Twice.”
MFers used to stay under their rocks where they belonged.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

Give a dipshiat an inch…
You know, there was a time, maybe 7-10 years ago and before, that I would have dismissed the events in this comic as unlikely. I don’t now.

The funny thing is that the most absurd stuff you couldn’t possibly make up, are in fact the very things that often happen.

I have yet to come upon something here that is ‘unrealitistic’ in any light no matter what it is.
But that’s also probably because I’ve experienced some of this shit.
