I make a confession, I used to be,a gulp, (whispering tone) A Trekkie in my late teens. I also scored awards for my costuming at the conventions during 80's and 90's. I used it more as a social group and artistic ideas but as I moved away from the Trekie Club as I got involved into local/professional theaters groups.Yeah. I'm not a Trekkie.
I think I was trying to find my way in life due to confusion of my earlier childhood and disfunction in my early teens. Trying to find a place to belong, it took me to reconneted with my family and searching my Welfare Files, trusting my memories family of my own I know where I belong.
In the last thread,Fuzzybutter mentioned Chad and Lori should had taken up other interest such as Cosplay or Car racing. In answer to that, in the local Trekkie group were very wary of people taking things too far or having a attiude like Chad. Most of the time group would distant themselves, they were warned even requested to leave.
There were a couple of cases the people were refused admittance when they did not take the warning. My understanding partner has friends who do Cosplay. I remember them telling me few years ago since the case in America of the Murder Of Leith Von Stein and other complaints, Role Playing Groups and Cosplay have a very strict rules, Lori and Chad would have been kicked out pretty fast.
I know some role playing games can be dark but there are strict rules but most importantly everyone is to have fun , a friend wrote one few years ago for a Role Playing Session steampunk" Murder Mystery At The World Fair' play sessions based on H H Holmes . Object of the game.... survive, find the killer/ solved the Mystery or escape. Most people did not know it was based on the H H Holmes Hotel at the of the Convention sessions it was revealed. He has been asked a few times to put it back on again. People in the Role Playing Groups/Cosplay know the reality which IMO Chad and Lori crossed the line for their own personal gain.
