I've only been at one con so far (other than animefest at Virginia Tech, but that's just cool!) and at the con I was at (AFO2) you pretty much hit the nail on the head: The average age was 14 with a maturity level of age 8, and "D0rk1n355" emanated from every crevice of the convention floor
J/K There was some good anime there though, and a few mature people, so I can't complain too much. My assumption is that at a huge con like Otakon, you'll have a wide variety of maturities/age groups, and I'm sure you can find whatever you're looking for. At minimum, you get to see some awesome AMVs, and get a chance to meet people with similar interests.
Just go there and enjoy it for what it is. ^_^
Oh, and not all male AMV makers are week - it's just that most of the strong/mature ones are taken
Anyway, see ya at Otakon! (^_^)

Your observations are totally inaccurate.Paperskunk wrote:From what i've seen and heard this is what happens at an average convention...
-Huge nerdy party with all the AMV peeps.
-Some people get extreamly drunk and make stupid ass comments about Justin Emerson (ErMaC)
-Little children get put into a room and get tortured and raped when not saying that the rapee's studio is da best.
-Lot 'o' beer
-Bunch of horny AMV guys want to show sexual positions to girls...
Anything I'm missing here?
I myself am not a nerd, because nerds can't be Firefighters like I am.
I don't drink (not just because I am only 20, but because I don't care for the stuff). And I don't even know ErMac, so why whould I say shit about him?
Little children getting raped? That is just wrong on so many levels. How do you come up with this stuff?
Once again, I don't dring, of smoke, or do drugs. I feal I am messed up enought as it is, I don't need any extra help.
horny? In a way, possibly, but shy towards the opposite sex. So the camasutra is out for me.
