Left when people started breaking out sex toys.
...
I'm sorry, WHAT? They did what? Why on earth did they feel the need to break out the sex toys?
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think they were door prizes. I couldn't tell, since I was frantically trying to open said door. Which wouldn't open from the inside.

Thrive to spite them

Seriously people. Boundaries (for the guests being invited). And why sex toys? Why.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Uh.... okay? In the annals of reasons I stay away.
Seriously. Who is fandom's ambassador? And how can we have that person fired?

Jilli speaks for me, because I have lost the power of speech.

...not that I'm anti-That Kind Of Thing*, mind. (I mean, I thoroughly enjoyed The Vagina Monologues and ended up going drunkenly shopping for rude things with my friends afterwards.) But - but - sheesh. That would be decidedly outside my comfort zone.
I mean, maybe if it were a Porn Panel, I guess this would be more fitting (although, frankly, still outside my comfort zone, unless everyone was sloshed) but I'd be expecting a panel about slash to be about writing and subtext, rather than for it to be some kind of Geeky Anne Summers Party.
(...do you folks have Anne Summers Parties?)
*as Father Ted would put it.

The Stargate slash panel at Dragon*Con was like watching a Mutual Masturbation Society throw a skanky bachelorette party, with all the implied shenanigans, rambling life stories, and high-pitched giggling of We Are So Daring, Drunk and Totally Daring!
It was mentally scarring. My mental scars. Let me show you them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow. I'm not mad that I missed that panel.

Well it is pretty daring to be willing to parade your total lack of social skills so publicly. Yikes.

Ha ha, you fool! No, in the ten minutes or so we were in the room, we heard mostly about the family lives of the panelists. Gay fathers who bonded with their daughters over slash. Young sisters being "corrupted" into slash.
Supposedly they started talking about characters after we left, but I don't regret leaving.
