Misconception: These conventions are just for freaks and perverts.
Truth: Nothing could e further from the truth. These conventions are mostly created by fans, for fans.
Hence the term "Fandom." Man In Kilt has over a decade of convention security experience (both as a
security officer and as a security coordinator), and can count the number of incidents he's handled on one hand.
Misconception: Conventions are dangerous
Truth: Well, let's be honest. Just walking to school can be dangerous.
Any time you bring together a large cross-section of the population, statistics say that you will get a percentage of
"undesirables." This applies to conventions as well. However, we can say, from experience, that
safety problems are few and far between.
