i know! It's so disrespectful that these places get so much attention, but there are so many! Let's list all the places that gather this outrageous attention!

Renaissance festivals usually have a very lively adults only section in the primitive camping area.

Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.

Dame here. It kind of sucks and isn't worth going to more than a couple of times unless you have a giant wad of cash burning a hole in your wallet. They have permanent buildings and all of the acts and shops are the same every year.

Damn right! And don’t you forget it!

I used to go to one of those. It has a lot going for it in terms of live acts, but basically it's always the same. I stopped once I realized I was paying for the privilege of attending a Medieval Times themed shopping mall.

Well typically it's a performance for other lesbians not straight guys so if you're in the scene you'll find out...

Did you just assume my gender? cause... what gave it away? Was it the blatant disrespect for anything other than my own needs?

Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you're punching down.
