Readercon, R.I.P.

[dxmachina]

So, I never got around to writing up my thoughts on this year's Readercon. I started to, even grabbed the descriptions of the panels I attended to use as an outline, but I got distracted by other stuff. The short version is that I enjoyed myself. At some point I hope to do a longer version, at least on a couple of the panels that were of great

The more I read about this and think about it, the more disturbed I am. The guy first told her that she made him thing "wrong things" and then he put his arm around her. I would feel so threatened by that, I can't even imagine.

Someone pointed out somewhere that when he hugged her from behind, it actually went from harassment to assault. It's all very creepy.

When I first read that, I pictured him wrapping his arm around the front of her body, which was really disturbing. I guess it's better that he "only" put his arm around her shoulders.
