Conventional Wisdom

Look, I just said I went back to the con.  I never claimed to actually start enjoying myself.

And yes, I’m sure this lady went around asking a lot of different people for interviews, not just me.  And yes, I fully agree that you SHOULD be able to just take for granted that a person hanging around the halls of a cosplay convention would a person who actually gives a crap about cosplaying.  But none of that changes the fundamental humor in her approaching LITERALLY THE WORST PERSON IN THE BUILDING TO ASK ABOUT THIS SORT OF STUFF.  Like this is almost as bad as that time the Washington Post thought I’d make a good poster child for Bronies. (No, seriously)  Then again, I do have a weird habit of being the one person that normies tend to come to for an explanation, so there’s also that.

Also, I think I deserve some kind of reward for the fact that I was totally up front about not really having any insights that would be of any use to her.  A more devious man would have taken the opportunity to totally troll her and make up a bunch of really crazy lies.  Like try to make her believe I was part of a cult that worships sewing machines or some crap like that.
