Don't Type Me, Bro!

The 17 Types of People You See at Any Nerd Convention. Okay, this is a pretty humorous post about the types of people who attend Conventions like ComicCon. It is part of a standing meme that presumes anyone who would dress up to go to a Convention about fantasy and fictional characters must be a nerd or a dork who can't get along in society. Okay, well maybe that is often true; but, generalizations about types of people who do anything is no better than profiling. It may be grounded in some fact; but, it is certainly not always true. I like the comment by the business professional who only attended ComicCon because he couldn't find a parking space around the Convention Center. I actually envy the people who have the free time and money to go to these things. Some of them make a living at it; but, many of them are spending someone else's money. Nice work if you can get it. One of these days, I will have to write a post about the types of people who go to Bar Conventions.
