I'm just gonna say it...

And probably get defriended, but it doesn't matter, since it seems like everyone's leaving for DW anyway.

It seems to me like the photo ops from earlier cons had more stringent rules about what was and was not inappropriate contact. It's only been the last few cons where the poses and interaction have been getting really snuggly and somewhat more intimate.

I think it's great that the guys, and Jensen in particular are more comfortable with fans now and that they're willing to be hugged and snuggled up with, and I get that people pay for the photo tickets and want the same experience other fans have had.

But seriously, no one is entitled to get to touch the guests. You get a picture. And if there's one thing I've had beaten into my head from years and years of working in manufacturing, it's that nothing bad ever happens when you're wary and cautious. It's when you start to get comfortable and let down your guard that something happens. Best case scenario, someone gets their feel on, worst case... well, I don't even want to say. If you don't want people to build a bomb, you don't put the instructions on the internetz, yes?

I don't blame her at all, and I don't think for a minute that she did what she did because she hates his fans.

And that's all I'm going to say. Keep the wank to a dull roar and out of my space.

P.S.: If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't ask.

I am so gutted I can't like, ask him to strip naked for the photo op I bought next month. This is sooooo unreasonable! *g*

OTOH ... the poor boy would catch a cold in England in May - so not cool!

Anyhow fandom without wank is like air without oxygen ... it doesn't seem you can have one without the other!

Haha, I was so going to send you a ruler to use as a prop in the photo, too! (Though if it's really that cold in May, it might not have been a very flattering photograph)

But seriously, the special requests are becoming more the norm than the exception these days. Not touching is not only safer but probably makes a lot of sense from an organizational standpoint.

And yeah, wank for breakfast, wank for lunch... any guesses what we'll have for dinner?

Hahahahahaha - you'll just have to settle for a little over-the-clothes-action! Stop being so selfish, lol! And I wouldn't even mind the wank so much if it were witty and entertaining. Instead it's all 12-year-old mentality and unentitled jealousy.

Besides, I'd rather see the boys touching each other! *g*
