This was a long fucking time ago. like 30 years. At DragonCon rooms would be rented out and sex shows staged. You could just walk around with a drink in your hand and go from room to room and watch. The doors were open and people were coming ( so to speak) and going and the show was showing. God I miss my youth.
Aw man, I’ve heard some stories about DragonCon back in the day, wish we still had con culture like that. Unfortunately the rise of “everyone having a tiny recording device in their pocket” really killed off that part of the culture (though one upside of AI is that it’s incredibly easy to deny leaked nudes are genuine). This show we were checking for 802.11 / 802.15 signals both as folks came in and in the crowd in general which was extremely nice (we have a lot of overlap with big defcon-y nerds who donate netsec expertise for the cause), but that’s a bit out of reach for most casual kinksters…

Sigh. State of the world and all that.
Hoping cons like OppaiCon can bring back the magic of just being openly sexy and no one having to worry about being recorded.
Oooo, hadn’t heard about this and that sounds very fun…
