I hadn't been inclined to go to PAX mostly because it it didn't seem like the kind of convention that would interest me, but I used to read Penny Arcade regularly. After the dickwolves thing and after the anti-trans comments, I've been and will continue to be completely opposed to going and I've stopped reading Penny Arcade entirely. If I want to support the efforts of my friends in the industry, there are myriad other options and other communities. I can buy their games. I can go to other conventions. I can playtest their games. I can sponsor their kickstarters. Oh, and everyone should support Anita Sarkeesian: http://www.feministfrequency.com/
