Gah! This is why Wonder-Girl.org has the Convention Anti-Harassment Project (linked above). It's absurd. Those girls would not do that at a public place that was not a con. It's inane that they think being at a con makes it acceptable.

On the up side, AX Rules do specifically outlaw the Yaoi Paddles as of last year. They can be sold, but must be immediately put in a room or car. They're to be treated the same as the live-steel weapons. Thank goodness for that fix.
